00:00 Intro
00:43 Is The Verve Pipe show available for 2D playback, and if so, where?
02:02 How do you feel about using LED moving head spotlights in a house of worship? Is it too risqué? I'm considering using two wireless DMX lights for follow-spotting the speaker when they leave the pulpit to walk the aisles.
04:17 how many 720p 24 inch screens can a mac mini m1 max out at?

How did that work?

24:12 Speaking of stabilization (and understanding that it is best done in shooting), what is the best software to stabilize a "shaky" video?
26:21 Looking for a consumer grade mobile hotspot mostly for web, but occasional streaming. Stubled across Solis Lite 4g which touts Global connectivity (eSim) - any thoughts [link]
27:59 Agreeable gray versus Winchester gray - which is more flexible in different zoom locations, backgrounds, or floors?
28:30 First, thank you for what you do. I have learnt so much from all of you. I have the ATEM Mini Extreme ISO. When I plug in my iPhone 12 using the Apple HDMI adaptor, the audio meters in Multiview show there is no audio. Am I doing something wrong?
31:23 What is the best way to light two people sitting side-by-side, looking into the same camera? A large soft box, a light panel, something else? Light will be ~6 feet away.

37:11 Started using Atomos Ninja V to send video to the ATEM Mini Extreme. Using a Battery Pack, the Ninja V doesn't hold for more than 15mins. Is there a Power solution or could batteries be too dead? Could they last 1hr?
40:33 Are there any AI tools that can do chroma keying, and is it worth it?
41:45 Anyone aware of an A.I. generator to plug a bunch of event sponsor logos in and spit out a logo loop that is more unique than the typical PowerPoint logo loop during attendee walk-in?
46:29 Hi Panelists, is live streaming an art? Thanks!

50:53 Needing to start storing production gear offsite and wondering about downsides. Which route should I go? Friend's garage, Public Storage? Climate Controlled? Office Rental? etc.
53:50 What's the best way to remove the inconsistent sounds of the camera operator breathing on impromptu videos shot with a mobile phone?
