CAN I USE SOME OF MY GEAR?
When it comes to your home video studio, modifications will compromise the studio's integrity, slow its functionality and will void the warranty.
The Desktop DIY Video Studio gives you all the equipment you need within arms reach and ready at a flick of a switch.
Your home video recording studio will help you produce high-quality videos that will require components that are rigorously tested to work together for a powerful and seamless experience.
If you have existing equipment that is not likely to be used once you purchase the Desktop Studio, we recommend selling it as our home video studio has everything you need to produce the high-quality videos you require.
HOW DO I RECORD?
The recording is easy with the Desktop DIY Video Studio because it connects like any webcam.
Content from your home video studio is recorded and stored directly on your hard drive or any cloud application such as Vidyard for sales emails, screen recording and market update videos.
So say goodbye to maxing out your memory card mid-shoot, or worse, discovering shoddy shots while editing.
Your Desktop DIY Video Studio has never felt more powerful using your teleprompter to help deliver a superb performance combined with real-time, full-screen feedback lets you polish your presentation on the spot. And avoid the downtime of learning complex video editing software.
Simply upload your videos from your home video studio to us for video editing and include whatever you want.
This could be:
- Graphics
- PowerPoint slides
- Additional footage
- Images you may have shot
- Any animations
You'll have the capacity to produce and implement more videos, without the hassle due to our useful home video studio.
Some videos may just require a trim at the start and finish, which we can also help you with.
EDITING SOFTWARE NEEDED?
No, you don't necessarily need editing software to produce your videos. Once you have your video and all relevant components left, send the video to us and we will help you.
There are a variety of online tools and apps that allow you to create basic videos without the need for costly software.
Many of these apps are free or offer inexpensive subscription plans, giving you access to pre-made templates, stock images and video clips.
In addition, most smartphones now feature built-in video editing capabilities with which you can easily trim your footage, add transitions and adjust the lighting.
If you want more complex features such as effects and filters, there are also several free and paid apps available for both iOS and Android devices that provide these features.
If you do decide to invest in editing software, there are plenty of options available for both beginner and intermediate users alike.
Adobe Premiere Pro is the go-to choice for most professionals but other products such as Veed may be more suitable for certain types of projects.
Regardless of which product you choose, it's important to ensure that it has all the features that you require so that it can aid rather than hinder your workflow.
If cost is an issue then several open-source editors have much of the same functionality at no cost whatsoever.
IS THE STUDIO COLLAPSIBLE?
Our desktop studio is designed to offer discreet positioning in the corner of your room, ensuring it doesn't impede on the available space. However, it's important to note that the studio is not easily collapsible due to its setup requirements for optimal filming conditions.
Despite not being foldable, the video studio has the advantage of being mountable on any sit or stand desk. This feature eliminates the need for additional floorspace, allowing you to efficiently utilise your meeting rooms as a versatile solution for both video production and meetings.
While attempting to move or fold the desktop studio might disrupt your filming process, it's important to consider the impact on your workflow. This adjustment could potentially compromise the time invested in filming setups and deter individuals from using it if it necessitates additional resetting efforts to achieve the desired filming conditions.
HOW DO I MOTIVATE MY TEAM?
Proper utilisation of equipment is essential. Having equipment on the desk is merely a presence without the necessary understanding and expertise. It's crucial to rally everyone behind the extensive possibilities offered by a DIY video studio in sales, marketing, and communication. Granting access to the DIY desktop studio doesn't guarantee effortless video production.
Therefore, we prioritise educating team members to empower them to maximise the desktop studio's potential within their departments. We achieve this through workshops, group training, video coaching, and on-camera guidance. This comprehensive training equips them to confidently integrate this equipment into their daily departmental activities.
This approach not only cultivates a clear comprehension of the desktop studio's purpose but also establishes a robust support network within the organisation. By ensuring the business embraces a video-centric direction and comprehends its advantages, we move forward cohesively in leveraging the power of video.
EQUIPMENT ONLY OPTIONS?
Certainly, under specific circumstances, such as for video marketers, presenters, or video producers with a primary focus on live video, you might qualify for an equipment-only package or choose options that include video coaching, editing, and publishing services.
However, if you're new to recording, reading scripted content, or presenting videos for the first time, we typically restrict this option. This limitation is because the majority of our clients are new to video and find value in the support we provide to ensure a smooth onboarding process for video content. This approach not only facilitates seamless video integration initially but also opens up long-term opportunities for leveraging videos within your business.
WHAT DO I NEED TO CONNECT?
The Desktop Studio requires a sturdy (sit or stand) desk with a minimum of 7cm of available clamp space to attach the studio safely.
If this is not possible, then drilling through the surface (top) of the desk is the only option.
The powerful plug-and-play video solution is compatible with any computer operating system and a broad range of software applications, such as Zoom for superior video conferencing.
You will simply need a USB2/C to connect to a macOS or Windows compatible computer (less than 5 years old) and your Desktop Studio appears as a webcam & mic in all your favourite apps.
Then connect your teleprompter (using the supplied HDMI/USBC cable) which will show as an extended monitor display.
If you are already using two or more computer screens at your desk, it may be necessary to recommend additional hardware to accommodate the teleprompter. This would depend on whether your computer system supports it.
