This is the third and final part of the “Tricks of the Trade” series. In this episode I discuss video compression and also touch on the different ways I publish That’s Awesome.TV to the web. Everything from bitrates to aspect ratios to video codecs. After viewing this there will be no excuses for publishing low quality videos to the web. Sit back and enjoy, it’s a lot of information, but hopefully educational.

As always, if I missed a good tip or other important information, please send me an email or post it on my blog.

In this episode (part 2 of 3), I cover all of the post processing that is involved prior to compression. I discuss ripping the footage, rough cutting, keying and editing. All of these processes are shown through a screencast. You will see the show being produced using apps like Final Cut Pro, Motion, etc… Keep in mind, there ARE many other ways to preform these same tasks. If someone knows of a different/easier way(s), I would love the your feedback!

This weeks episode is the start of a three part series called “Tricks of the Trade”. The number one email I receive from viewers pertains to my studio setup. Everything from: “What camera do you use?”, “What software…?”, “What type of compression?”, etc. In response, I have decided to do a series about everything that’s involved with shooting, producing and publishing That’s Awesome.TV. That’s right, I’m tipping my cards for everyone to see!

This first installment has to do with the hardware I use. This includes my camera, mic, lighting and more. The second part will deal with software and post processing and the third will be about compression and publishing. Follow along, and you too can produce your own show!

As always, if I missed a good tip or other important information, please send me an email or post it on my blog.

Enjoy!
