After the first year, the free tier goes away…but still the best option I’ve EVER seen for audio/video hosting. Chances are you’ll fall into their free tier for a long time. It literally costs pennies to host big video files.

While it was a little difficult to get setup, its insanely cheap. We host on Amazon S3 and push to their entire network using CloudFront. Its less resource hungry than Adobe Flash Media Encoder and way more versatile. It allows for multiple outputs so you can record to disc, push just an audio stream, and various qualities of video. All in all, it took about two hours to have a file ready for upload. Then, that would have to be exported through Compressor before it could be uploaded. Also, the entire service was recorded so we had to put it in Final Cut to trim off the singing and announcements. FLME will only record in flv format (at lease, I couldn’t find a way to change it) so the file has to be converted. We used to use Adobe FLME, which is a great free option.

This also works well if the preacher has images that he will use in his sermon as illustrations. With Wirecast, we are able to show the video in the stream, as well. We have been making our own videos and showing them right before the preaching starts. You can also switch with other files or devices, as well. I have an SD camera hooked up via Firewire, but I don’t like the look of switching from HD to SD.

That makes Wirecast a relatively cheap switcher! Now, I’m trying to figure out how to attach another HDMI camera to our Mac Mini so we can switch between the two. But, if your tech department is going to spring for something, I would definitely recommend it.Īs Andrew also mentioned, it can handle multiple cameras. Wirecast is pricey $500 for basic and $1,000 for Pro. I’m also interested to learn more about YouTube for non-profits mentioned in earlier comments.Īndrew is right. We are starting to explore YouTube again now that they removed the 15 min restriction and are offering Hangouts On Air. Mostly it benefits our volunteers who work in the nursery or in children’s ministries during the one service we offer.Ī while ago we tested streaming a funeral sermon with a simple webcam using a Livestream account for some people who were out of town, but the quality and lag was pretty bad. We’re one of the only ones in our area that even posts sermon video or audio or has an updated website. So far we’ve not started live streaming services because of licensing issues (for music), the costs of technical needs (faster internet, video capture device), and limited demand for such a service in our small rural community. Though I could have it online within a couple hours of the service, it generally doesn’t get done until Monday or Tuesday. In addition to the hosting/archiving, Vimeo also creates an RSS feed and has a “hubnut” widget that we use on our website to push newly uploaded videos automatically.

I might be restating what has already been said but we basically record on a consumer HD camcorder, edit, then upload to a free Vimeo account. If you have any other questions feel free to shoot me an email at Biggest issue will be your available upload bandwidth.
#Preachit joomla 480p#
I normally stream 480p and have noticed that youtube appears to downconvert it to 360p for mobile devices and it has works pretty smoothly for me. Otherwise the streaming service has been awesome. I’ve priced it out that it would cost ~ $30 / month for a solution like this but right now it’s just a concept on paper. One idea I do have but probably won’t have time to test it until at least May is to fire up an EC2 instance running flash media server and send the streams there and have it relay the multiple bitrates to the different youtube stream points.
#Preachit joomla pro#
The Advanced Features are really nice, they give you the ability to stream multiple qualities but unfortunately the youtube version of wirecast doesn’t support multiple streaming so you have to purchase the pro (I’ve demoed it and it works great but can’t get the higher ups to let me buy it yet). That’s really the one big downside of youtube live is you have to set up individual events and then that morning you have to go into the live control room and tell youtube to make it “live” but I don’t consider it a dealbreaker given the price point.
