Summary: A lot of people use OBS Studio or similarly high-profile Free software that's mostly designed for live streaming; but this video is a bit different as it takes a look at Webcamoid, which not many people even know about, explaining the current setup that's used to record pretty much every video we make

THe first Webcamoid video we made followed earlier ones about GTK-RecordMyDesktop. We were very inexperienced at the time (NoiseTorch not used yet and webcam captured with considerable lag through the framebuffer), but we learn along the way and we still use very low-cost equipment. The gear is available on any cheap laptop and the programs we use cost nothing (they're also free as in freedom, never mind the price).

"We are hoping to get back to the old pace of about 3 videos per day."We've come a long way since making videos about the EPO back in December. Our journey hopefully helps explain how to make videos fast, on the cheap, using nothing but freedom-respecting software. A lot of the pipeline (processing, transcoding, uploading, indexing) is done through shell scripts with ffmpeg, rsync, and other phenomenal (scriptable) bits of software.

Without some forms of automation we would not be able to produce as many videos per day. We are hoping to get back to the old pace of about 3 videos per day. This past week was exceptionally slow (about a dozen in a week). ⬆
