Here are tools we like to use and reccommend. Please ask us about them and we’ll hook you up.
Ecamm Live
This is what we use for our online training. It’s the best Mac based production studio you can manage yourself. Ecamm Live supports multiple cameras, iOS and iPads, HDMI capture devices, screen sharing and more. Using overlays, split screens, support for remote guests, sound effects, external switcher devices, and more means that you can do all that a more expensive production studio can do for a fraction of the cost. Take a look at Ecamm Live for yourself.
