#LiveStreaming #ChurchLiveStreaming - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
Make sure to give this video and subscribe if you want to see more videos on live streaming for your church! 👍
My only question is what app you used on the tablet???? 😅
That's Procreate.
Awesome!!
Pro Church Tools with Brady Shearer is there a template for what you showed in the video? Or did you create it all?
Erick S Rodriguez The diagram? I created that.
This is all the foundation I needed to know! Pretty great work! May the love and blessing of our lord be upon you and all your projects! ❤️
I think I learned from your other videos how important the audio is! It's incredibly important with livestream and something I ignored for so long. It's also harder to get right.
Man, you’re so good. I am so confused on which one is which, what to get and how to connect but not anymore after seeing this video. Thank you so much for breaking it down. It gave me a firm idea on what direction to go on streaming our church services.
Thanks for a clear presentation of the live stream setup, and the options available. I've always found this hard to get my head around. Your drawing on the iPad was really helpful. Thanks for the way you are serving the church at this time.
Amazing job Brady! We often use such resources and forget to encourage the creator. This is very evident with churches as well. Often the congregation absorbs but rarely gives back - even something as simple as a like or comment.
So GREAT work and i love your channel. Keep it up and God bless you man 💪🏽
This guy has astounding and shocking mental clarity on this subject. Info that I had gathered in bits and pieces from many other videos, he seems to have summed it up so nicely in a single short video! Excellent!
Brady I have sent you an email for private consultation, please respond.
This is great! We are a new nonprofit organization streaming our programs. You're been a "God-send"! Thanks!
Bro that was soooo helpful! I have always had an interest in doing this kind of thing, but couldn't find a place that explained it well. You did a incredible job!!
The best explanation on the web. Thank you. Love your lighting and set-up. A++
I keep watching your video because I understand something new every time haha im a slow learner but im taking one step at a time. God bless ! Thank you for your videos.
Yo Brady! That intro beat that you have been using in your intros is a straight banger!!
WOW, this video overall is SO GOOD. The production of it is amazing (loved the humor too). Plus, the content is easily understood! Great job guys. Thanks for posting content like this!
This is yet another great video that allows start ups like our church to have access to tools that only mega churches have had in the past. We have been using Switcher but there's a super annoying buffer when we stream live. Now I'll be looking into our Internet speed.
A great place to start for troubleshooting, Amber.
Thank you so much Brady for everything you do. This video broke down everything I needed to know but I've already had to rewind and watch several different things because of how much information you gave! It is so cool how all of our churches are having to move to something like this. I need to find a budget friendly option but this helped me know where to start!
Thanks for watching, and the kind words! You might find the budget friendly options my friend Joel put together here: www.joelwsmith.com helpful.
Amazing video! Loved the quality and the content was great too, thanks a lot.
By far one of the BEST videos about this i've ever seen! Thank you!
(Sorry for my English i'm still learning)
incredible helpful. - I knew much of it but it helped clarify a few things and helped me realised I was on the right wavelength! Thanks!
You just earned a subscriber. I have been tasked with putting Bible setup in my church and possibly live stream
This is excellent. I've had to learn all of this over the last few weeks and I wish your video was out when I first started learning. Even after learning all of this, I like the way you broke it down for us. Thank you for putting all the work into teaching this to churches. Also, that ATEM Mini Pro... 😍
David Pavkovich 🙏
This is Great!
Brady Shearer is a source of fire and inspiration!!
Thank you Sir Brady 'He Rocks Like' Shearer
That was really informative and helpful in sorting out the basics! Thanks!
Watching this video is Homework for our Corporation meeting at St John the Baptist Church, Pointe-Claire, QC, Canada.
You nailed it bro. keep on can't wait to see next video.
I am volunteer staff at my church over spiritual development ministries, but I work at a small nonprofit doing all things creative. I haven't had the pressure to livestream for my day job like churches have, but I have definitely had to consider it for things in the coming weeks/months. This video greatly helped me, and I absolutely love what you do. Keep it up and thank you!
Thanks for the kind words, Mitch.
@@prochurchtools Of course. Quick question-where do software/services like OBS or Be.Live come into play here? Are they considered sources or destinations?
Look, Brady, this was A LOT. Thanks for taking that one on - and bringing us all with you! I'm impressed that you got that all into 11 minutes. My favorite part was hearing that your phone can do it all. The only thing I need now is for my phone to stream simultaneously to Facebook AND TH-cam. Tips for that?
Hmm. Not sure if that’s possible from your phone - from a desktop, I’d recommend Restream.io.
I was surprised not to hear NDI and OBS studio mentioned at all. We have our cameras and computer on our Cabled Ethernet network, no other hardware required.. Sound from mixing desk goes over Ethernet using Dante. A very simple, robust, reliable pain free setup. Ethernet cables are very reliable.
Thank you so much for your help with this! So much good insight to help us represent God to an audience with the respect God deserves
Thanks for watching, Ian.
Simple and informative. Great. Like your vision to help the churches worldwide with your informational
This is sooooo helpful. Thanks for explaining it simply!
Amazing! You are a fantastic teacher and your videos are so professional!!
Appreciate the kind words 🙏
Great vídeo. You nailed it bro
God bless you, and thank you for your information.
I feel that this was quite a simple breakdown of what’s needed, definitely will share this with the worship team and AV volunteers
And one more thing: keep on doing what you do!
Valentin Onitu Glad to year it, Valentin. 🙏
I applaud you! This was an excellent video full of much needed information and clarification of the how and why. I feel less confused and I believe I can have a more informed conversation with my pastor as we discuss next steps for our permanent live-streaming setup. I am eagerly awaiting your next video on the "what" to use.
Brilliant! Glad to hear it.
@@prochurchtools Yes, need a video to cover the gear; especially the camera for live production. There are lots of videos out there to cover ProPresenter and OBS, but not as many about the camera.
Awesome video Brady! Thank you!!!
Waiting patiently to see what encoders you recommend!!! :) Thanks for all you do.
TL;DR: It's OBS for software. For dedicated hardware it's either Blackmagic Web Presenter or the new ATEM mini.
Did Brady just quote Borat?! Haha!!! Love it!!
Rick & Amy Cordova 👀
Brady, I'm grateful and somehow feel indebted to you for this video, along with all the other spectacular videos that have been extremely helpful for our small church. Also, saw your classes you will be starting soon. Do you offer scholarships? Anyways, just wanted to express my gratitude. Your content has been pure gold. Cheers
Thanks for the kind words, Nathaniel. No scholarships with The 167 right now. Just because each student requires my personal time and attention, it's not an easy thing to discount - unlike software, where if we issue you a scholarship our hard costs don't increase dramatically.
THANK YOU for this!
Sooo well put!
Thanks for breaking it down!
a really well explained video made sense to me thank you very much
Laura Olding glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for the Swiss Mountains in the intro
Familiengemeinde Langenthal It was a great trip visiting there.
This is great. I was thinking I'd need to write a "dummy guide" to how our live stream works... But this has everything I wanted to cover (except for documenting our actual setup, of course)
Nicely done. Very informative
This is great. Thank you!
Thank you for this!
Hi Brady, Great video! Question on the recorder option coming from the switcher. Do I need an external recorder or can I record to my computer connected to the switch (ATEM mini)? Thanks
all I wanna say is Thank you.
Thanks for this bro!
Love Michael scotts quote 🤣
Hi Brady, Great video. Do you have a setup course done if not could you do one. Could you also tell me why does a system need a bridge box.
Thank You
Thank you for the great guide! I am live streaming my sister's wedding in March, any tips or changes I should consider? I currently have a sony a7iii and an el gato.
Great 👍 one
I just sent this video to my staff, because I gave up trying to explain it myself
Fantastic tutorial! easy to follow, i have a question. what are available option for internet source?
Brady - Excellent Video - Thank You!! I am us an Nikon Z50 - I also have a 2013 MacBook Pro Retina (yeah I know it is up there in age) but if I go with the ATEM Mini Pro - do you think I can make it work and be able to live stream? I currently record and post (with 2 mics) on TH-cam for the parishioners but would like to get to live streaming - also one last thing - the church has no internet - so it would be via Cellular - LTE fairly strong signal. Can I make it work?
Please, what options do I have to increase the distance between a camera with HDMI-out and the Atem Mini (hdmi-in).
Excellent !! Thank you so much for these video. And I am very close to setting up a TH-cam live steam with help from your video. I have one related question regarding sharing the URL. Can you please explain which URL to share with community? It seems that each live event in youtube generates a distinct URL. So do we have to share separate URLs each week>> I'm looking for a static URL which I can share with the community, and they can click on the same URL every weekend. I'd highly appreciate if you can guide me with this question. Please.
Hi
Do you have a guide on capturing live instruments ?
Thank you for the information btw, subscribed and God bless
@Bradyshearer Can i use my phone to live stream from facebook/youtube using a pixel 3a and then have the ability to add song lyrics scripture passage or any other graphic to the stream?
If yes what equipment am i going to need?
Thanks Brady. I'd be interested in seeing a video about your thoughts re: live streaming vs simply recording in terms of initial investment, effort and quality. Love your work and enthusiasm! Keep it up!
Easy answer for me on this - I highly recommend recording/premiering over live streaming. I think the pros vastly outweigh the cons and it's not particularly close.
Thanks for the quick reply! You just verified what I was thinking.
I never comment on videos but seriously thank you!
Does the black magic switcher work as a replacement for the elgato cam link for connecting a DSLR camera through hdmi cable?
Very interesting video, but I have a question for you. If I make a multicam with three cameras, two entering the atem via hdmi, and one entering via a wireless transmitter like the cosmoC1, how do I delay the two hdmi input cameras so that all three are in perfect sync?
I am encoding using OBS. Our current computer cannot handle OBS and live streaming and all sorts of other things we're demanding it. :) So, we're looking into getting another computer. What computer specs should I be looking for? AMD/ Intel? SSD / HDD (does it matter?) 16GB / 32GB RAM? What kind of graphics card?
During COVID-19 limitations, I am doing live-streams from unusual outdoor settings. Any suggestions for live-streaming when I might not have electric outlets, WiFi, or even a reliable cell signal?
Any suggestions for an affordable setup?
Thank you! I see there is both a Blackmagic Switcher mini and mini pro. There's a HUGE price difference, but I can't see what the difference is between them. Will the original for $295 be able to encode and switch for live streaming like the pro for $595? Do you know?
Awesome
Hey Brady, how does this work if you want to use propresenter to stream? Would that be the switcher?
Can I use 3 computers? One for my media sources, 2nd for my encoding and 3rd for uploading/streaming
Saw one guy's TH-cam video showing his setup using ATEM mini Pro and when he demonstrated video coming through it, the video's frame rate was low and the video was jerky - gave me the impression of a low quality HDMI to USB capture device. Is this how the ATEM works? Does anyone have good success with it - good frame rates and quality?
We are new to live streaming and I would like to be able to setup some mics to include the in house congregation audience in my live stream. Any equipment ideas.
Great video thanks for simplifying so much info. Brady what is your opinion about sling studio?
Haven't used it personally. I know churches that do and are pleased with it. I'm hesitant to use a fully wireless solution for live streaming, even if the hardware is quality.
@@prochurchtools thanks.
How do I now what bit rare I’m streaming on? Let’s say I’m using a Panasonic GH5 with the sound coming in from a Yamaha TF5. Where would I find that info? As a streaming software I would be using OBS
Question.. My feed gives a blue screen periodically when I hit record of the camera itself but remains stable when not in record mode. . Is this a clash of feed or operations
Sorry to sound negative but the section about encoders is incorrect. The correct term is called a video switcher / video overlayer. The encoder takes the resulting frame and encodes it to the proper destination format. On a computer (Nvidia Cards) the NVENC chip on the graphics card (not the GPU) encodes it via hardware (note: if your card does not have a NVENC chip then it proceeds to use software encoding via the CPU). Its because of this that buying the correct graphics card is important.
Thanks for the tips. But I'm having issue in getting audio from my mixer for Livestreaming, maybe because I am not using any gear for the now. I connect my cable from the mixer to the laptop, very noisy.
What kind of a grafffic card that you are using to draw chart ? Or is it software c
Hello Brady. Great content here. How do you connect with pro presenter in this process or any kind of text/title output? Thanks
There are a few different ways to do this. One way is to bring your video from your switcher (or direct from the camera if you don't have a switcher) into PP with something like a Blackmagic Decklink. PP will be able to overlay on the video. If you have PP7 it's able to do double duty to run your main stage display for worship and sermon notes on the main projector and have a 2nd output for the stream to keep the words on the bottom of the screen. If you don't have PP6, then it gets a little trickier. Our solution was to use a 2nd instance of PP6 on another machine just for streaming. the 2nd machine acts as a slave to the 1st so the operator on the 1st machine runs the lyrics and that updates the 2nd machine to match. 2nd operator drives independently for the sermon since the slides don't usually match well between full screen in the sanctuary and lower thirds on the stream. You should look at Paul Allen Clifford's channel. He goes into a TON of detail on how to do this stuff with PP.

Is there a more current version…like 4th qtr 2022…version of this?
Hello, what mobile application are you using to write and draw the architecture
So, just by buying and using an ATEM Mini pro, one can get video sources and live stream to youtube or facebook, or both at same time? @Pro Church Tools with Brady Shearer
Not both at the same time without separate software - but direct to one of FB or YT, yes.
How do you sync the video and audio for a live stream?
Is it possible to do this same thing but just send it to another building? On the same grounds? Without using a third part?
This was great, thank you. Could you give a bit more info on how to get from encoding to the multiple streams? OBS, streaming service, etc.?
Plenty of different options to go with. You already mentioned OBS. Ecamm Live is really nice too.
To go from OBS to Facebook and TH-cam at the same time you'll need to use a paid streaming service like restream.io or castr.io. Or, you'll have to have a 2nd computer that can take the output from the OBS machine and bring that into OBS on the 2nd machine and have the 2nd machine stream to a different destination. We experimented with it, but it has a lot of opportunity for failure, and it adds sync issues to the 2nd stream. We opted to use a service instead. The free tiers won't allow you to stream to a public Facebook page though, so know upfront you're going to have to spend some $15-20/mo. But, it's pretty easy to setup and use.
So I will connect an ethernet from the router or modem to the Encoder?
What do i use for mic for an iPhone in a church
Hey, you guys should do a review of video editing software's for churches. From consumer grade to professional, etc.
Thanks for the suggestion!
@@prochurchtools Keep up the great work! I'm from a church in Gatineau, Quebec and we love your content! Very inspiring!!
Hey Brady - this question has nothing to do with live-streaming, but what app are you using on your ipad with the graphics and layers?
Brad Vose Procreate
So if I'm going to use a software encoder like you talked about (example - WireCast), what specs should my computer have to be able to handle it all?
Would love to know the answer to this question.
How would you record the video while it’s streaming?
Hey brother if we use a hardware encoder how will I show lyrics
Hi, thank God that you are here. Just talking a little bit over 11 minutes. Well, our church issue is that we don't have an Ethernet yet. As it has been neglected sometime ago and because of the lock down. I am thinking of using an i5 computer with an extra monitor, buy an ATEM Mini Pro and a Mevo camera using Zoom as our live streaming platform. We are hesitant for further investment, as if we don't have a working Ethernet connection, we need to use a WIFI hotspot. So if that's the case, we might perhaps use a mobile phone for Zoom Connection and share the video to make the mobile phone a cohost. This will be changed if we can properly invest an i7 computer. Our church desktop for PowerPoint Presentation may be antique. So, we need to consider that. Do you think using an ATEM Mini Pro with an i5 lap top (or i7 desk top) with ethernet will work with Zoom. I have an i7 desktop, but bringing it to church every Sunday will be very funny and exhausted. Thank you and looking forward to hear from you soon.
How to use mobile as video camera?
My next recommended video is Pro Church Daily #114 "Why Live Streaming for Churches is Overrated" from 2 years ago. My, how the world has changed...🤣
The thing is...I fully stand behind that video. I still think live streaming a traditional service doesn't make sense for most churches. That being said, it's a highly nuanced take - and sometimes, I serve churches best when I help them do the things they want to do on the tech side, rather than berate them for doing those things in the first place on the strategy side. A tough tension to manage.
@@prochurchtools Oh I totally get it, and agree that under normal circumstances live streaming isn't the right move for every church. I just had to laugh at the dichotomy between the two videos. Been a fan for a while, thanks for all you do!
So if I have an Atem mini (not the pro), and I prefer to not have my computer do all the heavy lifting, I should also pick up an encoder?
That's correct. One of the downsides of the original ATEM Mini (which makes it not the best option for many) is that it doesn't have that encoder built in.
Which hardware encoder would you recommend for the black magic camera
All the ATEMs are great. They’re made by the same company.
