Hi there,
Our school.often needs to record concerts and school chapels...but we need a simpler workflow (In the past I've done multi DSLR shoots..with editing in Plural Eyes + multi cam syncing...)
But this is all too much mucking around for weekly recording when time is a real factor...
Currently one of our staff just use a single DSLR...mic straight on camera....does the job...but want to ramp up the production quality...
Gear we have available:
New BlackMagic ATEM mini pro..(barely used so far!).....and a whole bunch of Canon DSLR's ...one older Canon XA30....a complete PA with various microphones going into the desk...but not to the camera...or the switcher...
but have discovered these DSLR cameras are not great for:
clean HDMI out into the Blackmagic switcher
Recording audio direct from the mixer.
Can someone help advise us on:
1.) A workflow to record audio and video directly together that we get a nicely synced final video file...ready for editing in Premiere Pro without having to muck around with dual audio in Plural Eyes like I usually do for personal projects. I was thinking maybe getting one of those Rode Wireless gadgets to go from the Mixer in the hall...direct into the camera...but how do we record the audio and video together? Record from the Switcher? Record into a new camera? Record onto a laptop or a HD in the camera?
2.) A possible new 'events' camera purchase that will work together with the switcher..(ie HDMI out)...and clean HDMI (no graphics on the screen!) 1080p would be totally fine...we don't need 4K..and an XLR proper audio recording option...ie. easy monitoring of sound..headphone jack etc.
3.) Ability to 'stream' live while we are at it...
* We have around $2500K AUD to spend...on top of the gear we already have..
Thanks for any tips.on what you would do with this gear in this live setting...I've done a lot of film work...but not much of this 'live' type scenario...and do dual audio for my own projects...but we need to make this more user friendly for various staff using this gear...with short turn arounds..and as little editing as possible.
Thanks,
- Matt
