#189 · live audit of a 287 sub youtube channel by a $400k/mo creator
I record with OBS Studio, using a Sony A7C camera for video and a window‑capture setup. I have multiple scenes – a main camera view, a screen‑share overview, and a blurred screen‑share for confidential info.
I record with OBS Studio (Open Broadcaster Software) using a Sony A7C camera, a big softbox light, and a Samsung Q2U microphone. I have two OBS scenes: a talking‑head full‑face view and a screen‑share view with me in the bottom‑right corner. I export the OBS recording directly and upload it without additional post‑production.
I record with a Sony A7 III (and sometimes the A7 C) paired with a light bar. I use an XP‑Pen tablet for drawing, a Samson Q2U microphone, and the Auphonic service to clean up the audio. For on‑screen annotations I use Presentify on macOS. The camera is high‑end but not required; you can get decent results with cheaper gear.
It's called OBS Studio. I use it to record my screen; it creates an infinite window effect because I'm recording a screen that's recording a screen. I have two scenes: a talking head/full face scene and a bottom-right corner scene, switched via hotkeys (though my hotkeys are broken today). For writing on screen, I use Presentify, which I bought for $10, and I use my tablet like a mouse.
If you're talking about this stuff, I don't record myself on camera; I just export directly from OBS as an MP4. I have a split setup where I record my face, switch to screen capture, and also add a small face cam in the bottom right corner. Regarding the Sony camera connection, I use a capture card to convert HDMI to USB because there's lag with direct USB and I'm limited to 720p otherwise. The capture card I use is a UG green recording/streaming device from Amazon.ca.
