I sent an email to support to find out if they have any suggestions. I’m running the latest versions of everything and have tried 3 or 4 mics with the same result. So if I can’t get it to work consistently it’s going back :(

      I’d go for the pedal too. I’m finding the software really problematic. It takes forever to load. And then it wouldn’t track the text properly. I certainly wouldn’t trust it for anything live. On my last video, I just gave up and used the pedal instead. This was brilliant. Much better than the software, even when it worked. It really goes at your pace, because you are controlling that pace. You just need to get the foot pedal scrolling speed right. But this isn’t difficult.

    I love this addition. But it isn’t quite perfect. I used it on my last video. It sped up the first part enormously. However, at some point it became really glitchy. I had to resort to using the pedal (which is a great option, but the way). For example, it just wouldn’t scroll in time at certain points. This would be a huge problem for livestreams. I’m hoping it may just have been a one off. I still think that it’s amazing and has huge potential. But I’m just not sure how reliable it is. I’ll continue playing around with it.

    I requested the ability to use the Camera Hub software offline - no supported device connected because I don't want to edit the scripts on the machine I record on and I don't want to move the Prompter back and forth to do so. My channel isn't large enough to get any traction on that feature. I had that you have to have the Prompter connected to work on scripts - give us the ability to do it elsewhere - like a plane or just a different computer.
    I also find it really annoying that you can connect the device on a Windows computer and if the multiple display mode is set to "Duplicate" then it won't detect the Prompter. You must switch the display mode to "Extend" to have it detect the device. You have to search the internet for the answer instead of the device informing you on the required setting.
    So, I actually just use the device with Powerpoint as a second display and skip the Prompter software completely. It works fine for use because we go back-and-forth with who is talking with only one of us on-screen at a time, typically. I would love to use the actual prompter software, but until I can easily edit my scripts on a different computer I won't be doing so.

    • @tombuck
      @tombuck  6 днів тому

      I would love this. I don't like that Camera Hub won't even open without a device connected. It'd be great to edit/format scripts without needing the Prompter attached.
      In the meantime, I draft my scripts in Notes/Docs and then just past them to Camera Hub, which works well enough and still allows me the benefits of the official software.

    Thanks for the heads up, Tom! Just curious-why did you use the DJI mic to record instead of just using the Rode for both the prompter and recording? Also, what lav mic do you have plugged into the DJI? Also also, thank you for being awesome! 2:09

    • @tombuck
      @tombuck  7 днів тому

      DJI sent over the Mic 2 last week and I've just been wanting to experiment with it! No real reason other than that. I've had my Rodes for al long time and I like them, but I've never used the DJI before, and I'm honestly quite impressed. It was also nice for this video, since I was turning between the camera and the computer so much not to worry about mic positioning and stuff.
      I was using the DJI lav mic, which seems decent. My mistake was they I accidentally turned on noise reduction when I definitely didn't need it, so I think it doesn't sound quite as good here as in a few other tests I've done. But that's user error 🤷🏻‍♂️

      The fact that the Windows version requires a minimum Nvidia graphics card means that this feature works on a relatively small number of Intel PCs, because so many PCs, especially many PC laptops, don’t even have discrete graphics. But on Mac, it works on the four-year-old, weakest, slowest M series processor ever made! So you’re kind of reading it backwards: The system requirements allow this feature to work on a much larger proportion of the current Mac user base than the current PC user base. The MacBook Air with the base M1 will run this, and that is down to under $700 at some stores now.

      I think it's something with the "AI" that processes the script. No idea how it works, but that seems to be the sticking point.
