hi folks,
i am back at researching the best way to capture a livemix of vdmx with videoclips, qc 3d comps and vdmx effects on top, plus having it all audioreactive.
ages ago, i struggled with screencapture apps but of course, now there is syphon.
i am still having doubts though, about my approaches.
prererquisites:
i want to use 720p 25fps clips and i want to capture 720p with audio decent enough to put online and not be unenjoyable - obviously with as much fps as i can get.
at the moment, i have to ways to go about this:
1.
- one macbook only, audio is coming into line-in from an external source.
- recording the main vdmx output to 720p prores4444, audio AAC
2.
- sending the output of vdmx (machine A) to a syphonclient maxmsp patch, passing it via jitnet over crosscable lan to another computer (machnie B) and there passing it to the syphonrecorder, recording. this second machine also plays the music, sends it to machine for reactivity yet directly records it on B directly by passing it thru the receiving jitnet patch there.
although i get pretty good frame rates passing through the network, when recording, the whole thing drops badly when recording in both cases.
so one of my questions would be, what videocoded is the fastest to record to?
and second, what are your ways to go about this?
i can't dish out for a capture card, so i am primarily looking for any advice without having to buy equipment.
nevertheless - if you have an absolutely hasslefree live with capture cards for HD, let me know. maybe that should just be an investment to think about.
greetz,
