Actual footage of how the podcast would turn out using the 2nd camera angle would be great to see. Also what are some great angles to use for additional camera angles would be great to know as well.
the fact that you cannot use a second camera for guest is weird. What is the purpose of having a second camera on yourself and not on the interviewees?
Thank you so much for this video. We just started using riverside but are struggling with a multicamera setup, 2 camera for the in person guests. We are using a rode podcaster pro with only one usb slot connected to one pc along our black magic. The audio is perfect for that camera angle. But we need a second angle. We tried adding a second laptop (pretty much have the second camera be a second guest on riverside, that way when we speak, the ai software recognizes that camera angle) for the studio and connected a camera to it. Only problem is the audio latency is pretty bad. Any idea on fixing this? We now tried logging in as hosts on both laptops with different camera angles, but now when we speak the audio gets sent to the rode caster and it doesn’t differentiate who’s talking on riverside
You can use secondary camera from the mobile app even on a free plan, and for in-person recording, check out this video! th-cam.com/video/TJ-EZrBwLT8/w-d-xo.htmlfeature=shared
Can you add a second webcam or is it just a phone or tablet? I want to be able to use and switch between the two cameras on a livestream too - is this possible?
You can only have one USB webcam in a Riverside studio, and if you're looking to switch between cameras, we would recommend using something like the BlackMagic ATEM Mini Pro. We have a video on that here! th-cam.com/video/NxPdxCLZ9Xg/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Wfc_qOWGM7CninMG
We're working on a feature to use your mobile device as a camera on PC, but for now here are some third party options: th-cam.com/video/FeUKIejoy60/w-d-xo.htmlsi=e0vgq5uD5-9x377m
For that you would need multiple laptops or computers for each video feed. But you can have those join as a "guest" and mute their mics and speakers to eliminate feedback.
How would the AI speaker feature work when using this secondary angle cam? I was wanting to use a secondary cam to film the wide angle view of everyone in the podcast. I wonder what AI would do?
AI is based on the audio of each participant. We would recommend doing a Multicam project in Premiere or Final Cut, you can learn more here: th-cam.com/video/vz4h4bkhzvM/w-d-xo.html
How do I share my tablet screen in a meeting? I connect it via usb-c, but I can only share a destop screen currently it seems. Is there a work around for this? I draw a lot on my zoom calls
Assuming you're using a Mac, I would recommend opening QuickTime, connecting your device to your Mac, and you can then choose the iPad as a video source. Then in Riverside, you can share the QuickTime window, which would display that in the recording!
Do you have to use headphones when using 2-3 cameras for an inperson interview? We have a Yeti mic and also two lav mics (similar to what you have). Thinking… lav mic can go on guest phone. The yeti in the middle of the guests and linked to host. How does that sound?
Can I put multiple angles in the same video? I want to show a sports training action from multiple angles simultaneously. Not switch angles back and forth. I’d also like to click record on one device and have all 4 phones simultaneously start recording and feed into my video, 4 squares. Minimal editing. Doable?
All mobile devices will start recording once you tap record once in the studio. And you can certainly edit the content to appear like you're saying, but using an external editor like Premiere or Final Cut.
For that, we would recommend joining the call as a "guest", then use the mute device feature in the 3-dot menu on that mobile device to prevent any feedback.
Is there a way that you can see the feed from the second camera on my laptop? I’m using an iPhone that is suspended for a top down shot and I’d like to be able to see that video in real time on the MacBook
For that, I would recommend joining the studio from that device as a guest, and then you can mute the device in-app so there's no feedback. This way you can see the video feed live! I explain here: th-cam.com/video/Gb9aXv1mPTs/w-d-xo.htmlsi=EoDHeEZzPtPlxHag
Been trying to connect an iphone thru the app and doesnt work. What's the secret to getting it to connect to the studio. Just says unable to connect to studio
I'm trying to conduct a remote interview. How do I see the secondary angle on my host computer? I'd like for my remote guest to have a secondary camera, and I don't mind giving her my login, but I can't see the secondary camera to help her with framing and lighting. Alternative, if I have her join with her phone as a secondary user, the iOS app for some reason doesn't allow the built-in speaker volume to be turned down to zero. And having her plug in a headphone to prevent sound bleed (as suggested by one of your previous videos) is too cumbersome as it requires giving up the lightning port (supplying power) or having her figure out a more advanced workaround. Is there a solution? Easiest would be if the iOS app allowed its speaker volume to be muted. Thanks
This is a much-requested feature and we're working towards that. Unfortunately you cannot see the secondary camera angle right now live in the studio as you record.
Typically we recommend a multi-cam clip in Final Cut or Premiere. The tracks from the main camera and secondary cameras should be the exact same length and just need to be lined up at the beginning or end points.
The secondary camera angles are for recording only. To achieve live-switching between camera angles, you would need something like a BlackMagic ATEM Mini
You can, but will need to combine the shots in a video editor like Final Cut or Premiere later. Check out this video for more info: th-cam.com/video/vz4h4bkhzvM/w-d-xo.html
Can you only have multiple cameras if you are a host? Right now, I am recording a video on Riverside with my client, and I want them to use the back camera of an iPhone for the highest quality, rather than their laptop webcam. The problem with this is there is no monitor for them to see, so I was hoping they could do two cameras so that they can use their webcam as a monitor but officially use the phone camera
We would suggest they use Continuity Camera with their iPhone, this way you'll get the high quality, rear camera lens, but they will also see themselves in the studio. We have more info on Continuity Camera here: th-cam.com/video/FeUKIejoy60/w-d-xo.htmlsi=sev64S2UPtuBCvYO
@@Riversidefm okay so we ended up getting blue tooth mics, and I am checking the setup myself. When I plugged the Mic blutooth adapter into my phone and and then turned on my mic, it didnt prompt me with a message of yes or no to use it as a mic. Riverside also doesn't give me the option to change my mic on my phone to this external blutooth mic. What's weird is that the mic works when I record a video on my phone or snapchat. Just not on riverside...do you have any guidance?
there is a really short "pop up" that says "iphone microphone connected" when I go into the riverside app. i don't know if that means it's saying its using the iphone's mic and it's not picking up the external mic, or if it's just glitching...
If you connect a Rodecaster Pro 2 to a computer running Riverside, Riverside will only get a combined audio track with all inputs from the Rodecaster. To learn about best practices with in-person and remote recording combined, check out this video: th-cam.com/video/FdkcLfm14O4/w-d-xo.html
@@Riversidefm yeah I get that. But the native camera app would work just the same. Or am I missing something? We actually use Filmic Pro on iPhone for a second cam to dial in setting even more.
I am going to be recording documentary-style interviews remotely. So I would like the interviewee to be able to connect a second device so I have two angles of them. Is this possible with the "add a second camera" feature? Or is that feature only available for me as the producer?
Technically it's possible but the guest would need to login with *your* Riverside account on their mobile device to use the secondary camera feature. If you're comfortable sharing that, and possibly changing your password after the recording, you could have secondary angles at both locations!
@@Riversidefm again, a secondary camera for the host is useless... the host is supposed to be technically efficient and he/she can use another external camera as well... this feature would be useful if we can have a second camera for the guest... ACTUALLY YOU CAN, and you can avoid feedback just disabling the mic, but RIVERSIDE APP takes control over your volume, so you are not allowed to turn off it and you will have an echo effect in the recording... THAT'S AWFUL --- to give your password to your guest is not an option, the security issues are very relevant if you work in a professional environment.
It's possible to use secondary angles for remote guests, but they would need to login to the same Riverside account in order to access the three-dot menu and "Use as Secondary Camera". This could be a security concern depending on the guest, but yes, it can work across remote locations.

If you download all the files form Riverside they should all be the same length and wouldn’t require syncing, BUT we also have a new feature in the app where you can join as a guest and mute the device to prevent audio feedback. Joining as a guest from a mobile device means it will record audio as well which may help with syncing!
So i myself, use a podtrak p4 and record video on my iPhone (single shot) it all merges together with the trrs cord, but if i attach a second camera being another iPhone would it all be synced together in post? And can I still upload to anchor without going through Riverside? Sorry if this is a confusing question.
By the way, the second camera added would be dedicated to shoot my in person guest to switch from me to them in post. Just wondering how all this would work in post
If you're using the Podtrak connected to a computer via USB and selecting it in Riverside, your recording will keep the secondary camera angle in sync. But there is no audio recorded on the secondary camera angle in Riverside, so you won't be able to sync via audio in Final Cut or Premiere multi-cam clips.
When you connect multiple mobile devices using the Riverside app + Secondary Camera feature, all the video files will be saved to your Riverside studio on the recordings page. You can download all the files there and bring them into Final Cut or Premiere to edit angles!
If you are connecting the Brio to your MacBook, Riverside will only be able to record one of those cameras. The secondary camera feature with separate video track recording is a feature of the Riverside mobile app. But you could record the Brio webcam locally in addition to using your MacBook webcam in Riverside. Open QuickTime > File > New Movie Recording, select brio, and record there in addition to your Riverside studio.
@@Riversidefm I’ll give it a try. Was really wanting to have both angled able to be recorded in the software. Thought I might be able to connect as a secondary guest but the feedback was too much. Thought maybe a mic-less option was avail. ): to do so.

Great questions, may do a follow up! But for second angles, often a wider angle, even including some of the gear for a BTS type shot would look great!
Thank you, great video! I just started using riverside and looking to expand its capabilities.
Amazing, and welcome aboard!
I learned about Riverside, recently. I love all of the great content on the site and can’t wait to get started after the new year (2023).

Can you use two cameras during a live stream?
We don't have the ability to switch live just yet, but you can use a switcher like ATEM Mini with Riverside to switch that way!
Does this only work on MacBooks? Or can we do this with an iPhone and a Pc?
We're working on a feature to use your mobile device as a camera on PC, but for now here are some third party options: th-cam.com/video/FeUKIejoy60/w-d-xo.htmlsi=e0vgq5uD5-9x377m
Does this also work for multiple Cameras other than mobile devices? I got two Sony cameras.
For that you would need multiple laptops or computers for each video feed. But you can have those join as a "guest" and mute their mics and speakers to eliminate feedback.
Can we connect Canon cameras?
You can use Canon cameras in webcam mode with Riverside, yes! Here's more info on that: th-cam.com/video/XlUaZ3LOn0E/w-d-xo.htmlsi=QtLzRzJ4A1pKuPck

Yes! Secondary camera works with iPhone, iPad, and Android devices!
What about recording with multiple cameras but not from phones but webcams or cameras?
That would take using multiple computers with webcams connected through Riverside, or local recording and editing in a third party editor.
