What's up hammer baby?
What’s up dude!
@@hammerdance im cooling 😎
AYOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Thanks a lot man! You made it super simple! Set camera to video recording mode
No HDR
Set to manual if you want to set exposure levels, aperture, etc
Go to camera menu
Google “How to turn on clean HDMI out” for your camera
We don’t want the screen info to show on the output - “clean”
Clean full HD output
Hooking up to the computer
Camera micro HDMI > CamLink HDMI > PC USB
Don’t run camera on low battery
Low battery may flash on screen
Get AC adapter as a dummy battery that gives your camera continuous power
Getting the camera output into OBS
Add a new video capture device
Select CamLink 4K
Change resolution to match camera
Set FPS to “Match Output FPS”
Color space 709, Color Range Full
Thank you!!!!!
Hiya, I'm not a very techy person but this was very easy for me to understand and follow. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
I think most can skip to the 4 minute mark to get the needed info. Not trying to be rude, just saying, most cameras have streaming utilities, and the plus button in OBS got me there in 2 seconds.
That aside, thanks for getting me there.
For this video you are the new MC Hammer 🔨🔨🔨🔨
YOU DONT NEED "CAM LINK" TO DO THIS... I HAVE A DSLR CANON CAMERA AND STREAM BY DIRECTLY CONNECTING MY CAM VIA. USB TO PC.
Yes but it looks better with the cam link. A lot better.
I have a canon T8i. It has USB 2.0. Data bandwidth limits the video output resolution to 1024x576. HDMI video output resolution is 1920x1080.
Yea no it looks HORRENDOUS without cam link
High quality video wasn’t made to go through usb lil bro
@@BenjaJohnsonIII not saying your wrong but dont webcams use usb 🤔
@@6ixth6enz17 "High quality video wasn’t made to go through usb lil bro" is what my previous comment said. Thats mirrorless cameras and dslr cameras. Webcams arent high quality at all and are specifically made for usb. they suck
was dreading figuring this out. you made it so simple and concise, thank you!
I'm glad you thought it was simple. I would think that if people have been asking for a whole year he would have taken a little (a lot) more time than 5 minutes
Straight to the point, great video!
Glad you enjoyed!
Thanks, very sharp and to the point!
Silly question, to start/stop recording I just use OBS? Don't want to compromise on the recording resolution so I ask. Thanks again man.
i have a canon 2000d and cant seem to get the ui off the screen,i also have 3 things tu pliug into my cam but they arent just reg usbs so i dont know what cables i can use but yeah i have the overlay
Dang with the quality of this video I thought for sure you'd have at least a million subs, underrated af
I love your lights background setup. Do you have a video how to lighting like that?
I have clean hdmi bro is it possible to use a Canon camera in autofocus and not have the square on the screen? Thanks
This was very helpful thank you!
Very accurate in sharing all the Information.
Thanks.
What about the recording settings in OBS?
Very well presented. Thank you for the info.
why not use a mini USB to USB-C cable between the DSLR and laptop? did you connect the microphone with the camera or with laptop independently?
I needed this video thank you good sir
Hi love your Video! I have the ZVE10 + Capture Card and when connecting via HDMI on OBS Capture Device it shows only max Resolution is 1080p. Any Idea?
I was doing pretty good with my camera until I tried attaching a 2nd one. They both say USB (as I'm using capture cards) if get them both to work, it's not for long. When I try using one, I have to reinstall every time. My first gig is Sunday, help!
Quick question for ya: At 2:31 in, after you are scrolled down on "Clean / FHD output" it says "HDMI output without info disp." And specifically this note: "Movie recording and wireless communication not available." Am I to understand that on this setting pushing "Record" on my Canon EOS M50 Mk II will not do anything? I'm new to the M50. Very clear and concise how to!
Hey there did you ever figure this out?
@@calaniz9963 Indeed I did.
@@TC_Conner Uh, I don't think he was curious if you personally figured this out or not. He was obviously asking you to explain HOW you figured it out.
@@dexanexa He didn’t clarify that with a follow up “please explain how you did” so that’s why I didn’t.
@@TC_Conner But you KNOW that that is what he was asking. Why would it matter to him if you figured it out? He's asking you to tell him how. He didn't clarify further because it is beyond obvious what he's getting at. You're just playing coy for some reason, which is weird as hell.
Can you explain how to get the focus square off of the screen?
There should be a setting in the camera menu called Clean HDMI or something similar.
@@hammerdance thank you!
Very easy when you know how. Thanks - took me about 10 seconds. Cheers.
Mad love thank you bro!
Thank you but there is limit for 30 minutes and the canera turn off
Great video, thank you! What kind of lens are you using on the Canon EOS M200?
Great video my friend :) You got my SUB
Do you know any reason why my camlink just turns off outa nowhere?
Thank you
Why does my obs studio video capture keep on crashing? This is my biggest issue, it also does this in other programs, it works for 30sec then goes to a colorful channel screen
Thank you for your tutorial video. I do have a question regarding this topic. I have a CANON G7X Mark 2, setup with OBS just like you explained. However, after a couple of minutes, I get an error screen. similar to a TV error screen.. Do you know why that happens?
Hi! What's the difference between an Elgato Cam Link and an Elgato Capture Card.... and can I use the capture card for the same thing
Capture card is to capture gameplay cam link is for the camera
@@osorioedwin8987 and do you need both for gaming
Will this work using the cam link directly to a ps5 for streaming
Would the dslr cut every 30 minutes or can I stream for over an hour?
perfect vid bro
can you just use a 4k capture card to do the same thing?
Hello, I have a problem with my camera and I hope you have a solution.
When I want to use the Elgato Camlink, the problem is that the Display is displayed, "raw". For example, if I activate the video mode, the rendering will be different, the colours will vary a little, the "grains" will disappear etc", the quality is much better. How do I get this "super display" all the time?
Thank you
Hey Not Sure If You’ll See This But What Camera Are You Using Besides The M200?
If you already have an HDMI adapter where you can use it to connect your camera to your labtop, can this way be used instead to turn your camera into a webcam to record Vids using OBS??
So like u need the cam link it can’t just plug into the computer and work ?
Can you help me sometimes my camera pops up and most of the time i cant get my camera to show in obs
Aweome video, but I gotta know... who is KaramelCandi?? You go BOY!! 😏🤣🔥
Please can you list the equipment to connect camera to obs
Video starts at 3:50
What are your camera settings they look amazing 😍
I did everything and I still have no display. I don't know if it's an issue with my adapter. I have an adapter from the cam link to my Mac because my Mac only uses USBC
I subbed THANK YOU!!!! can you make a video on setting up the microphone??
Thank you mate!
Bought the Camlink and streamed for about 2 weeks before now all of the sudden No picture will come up when I try to use a Video Capture Device. Its Just a Black screen where it used to show my camera
Perfect and thank you!!!!
yo man I got the 5d mark 2 and I can't seem to get rid of the focus box in video mode for the stream. Do you know how I could get rid of this?
For livestreaming, I've been outputting using the micro usb port in my Canon 90D. I decided to "upgrade" my setup by purchasing an Elgato Cam Link + Mini HDMI export cable.
I love Elgato products, I've been using their Key Lights and Stream Deck for years. For some reason though, my camera quality now looks worse when using the Cam Link + Mini HDMI. The colors seem more muted. I've played around with the color settings in OBS (4:30 section of the vid) but that hasn't seemed to help. Any thoughts?
One quick thought I had; my canon doesn't have a "Standard Video Mode" like you referenced in 1:20 . Most of the time I've kept it set to the green A+. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like the green A+ mode lets you export clean HDMI output. Instead I've set the camera to "TV" Mode. Maybe this is driving it?
Hey 👋🏻 Could you help me out 😶 Well I wanna record ( JUST RECORD WITH OBS , NO STREAMING ) 1 hour video on my 2019 MacBook Pro Hooked up with my canon camera. What RECORD settings is best for 2019 MacBook Pro for recording 1080 video.
How do you set the parameters on the video quality and especially make it so that when you reboot your computer the Akaso comes up automatically as a USB camera. For me, I have to choose from the camera menu each time to make it be a "PC Camera". I just want that to be automatic, as well as the parameters in the camera to stay what I set them for. Can I do that?
I’m sure the question is the comments somewhere, how do you keep the canon t8i from turning off after 30min even if the auto turn off is disabled
Hey - QUESTION PLEASS - i’m using a Lumix G7 with HDHI capture card. I set up everything right but when i hit record the camera goes black and display “Video Now Recording” how can i fix that please?
Is there a way to set up multiple dslr cameras? 3 cameras at the least.
Do I need OBS if I just want to use it as webcam?
I have a UHD-WO1/WO2 digital Camera and can't find a dummy battery with an ac adapter online any help??
Is there any way to do this wirelessly? Im trying to live stream a show, but having a cord is going to be very limiting. Ove tried to use an hdmi transmitter with no luck. Please help
Very helpful
how do you get rid of the auto focus box on my face?
My led strip sonof flickering when i have it on low light. And as i use canon without info with hdmi clean i can not change it to pall. So i have flickering. You know how to fix that?
I have an issue with my Panasonic LUMIX G85 4K, I’ve done the settings for a clean output but when I connect to the cam link it glitches and doesn’t connect properly, can you please help me figure this out? Thx
What about the audio? Does the audio signal transfer across the Cam link?
Nope, that’s why I’m here
I tried the dummy battery on my cannon eos m200 but u can keep the battery latch open because the camera wont turn on so i cant hve a wire hang out
how to make a rotating metric for obs? i seen it in a previous video of yours but cannot find a tutorial anywhere
I can’t figure out how to do this on the T7I. The HDMI info display setting isn’t available on the T7I and there’s nowhere else I can go to turn off all the lines. I’ve turned the grid lines but the AF method cannot be turned off which is why there is still a line showing.
How can I fix this?
I use zve10 and camlink 4k. I have an issue with the color that show me the screen of camera compared to the color that obs recive. Do you know how can i fix that problem? Sorry for my english.
Do I need capture card as well or just the cam link?
Hey did everything you said but now when I go into my game my camera freezes up? Using Sony a5100
i BOUGHT THE CANON M50 MARK 2 BUT MINES DOES NOT LOOK AS GOOD AS YOURS IN THIS VIDEO. PLEASE HELP!!!
I know this is old but what cameras would you recommend? I have a ton of Nanoleafs behind my setup and all of my webcams just can’t support the brightness unless it’s down to like 5%. Would a digital camera work or is it best to get a dslr
my d3200 nikon getting overheat with obs recording, opened the battery lid, still not worked. any solution?
Thanks Boy.
Thank for this video
What camera do you use?
Canon EOS RP
I need to figure out how to keep the camera from shutting off after 3 mins, nobody’s covering this online
dope video!
I want to add a camera to show on my tvs at church. How can I use cam link to do that
how do u fix your mic and elgato camlink not syncing up?
Can I use my canon R10
What about audio? Mine won't have audio
You just earned a sub
My doesn’t get rid of these weird looking box fragments and it’s irritating!
How do you do externale mic on m200 ?
THANK YOU SO FREAKING MUCH I CAN STREAM NOW
Great video and channel! Question...I'd like ot be able to record 4k video straight to my computer, as you suggested. I've read some contradictory info on this subject. Using a Clean-HDMI and the Elgato Cam Link, will I be getting the max resolution from my camera into my computer? This won't be a reduced "good enough for webcam" quality, correct?
Ever find an answer to this?
My canon SL2 doesn’t have that hdmi option =[
Once I’ve added it how do I make it small on my screen when streaming warzone so they can watch gameplay and also my stream
thanks bro
Thanks so much for this!!! 🙏 Really appreciate it. I often try to figure stuff out on my own but then sometimes hit a wall nomatter how much tweaking around I do on OBS 😅 I can now stream and record myself playing deep rock galactic TY so much again!!!
How does everyone bypass the 30 minute time limit though?
does it work with the canon 1300d?
how can i know what the caple adaptor fit with my camera ? it is eos rebel T100 canono thanks
hi i just bought the camlik, i dont know if you will see this but i need help and got a question for you. i have the same camera and same camlink i orders differend usb cables hdmi to usb c and hdmi to hdmi mini but my software from elgato is saying i need a usb 3.0 and i buy one online and it still didnt work do you please have a link or anything where i can buy the cable you have i struggle hard the last couple days to find the right one and i already spend like 80 euros on 3 cables and cant find the right one please help...
Hey! All of that is correct, the one thing that I am thinking may be the problem is the port. Are you plugging it into a high speed usb port or a regular usb port on your pc?
@@hammerdance hi wow that was a quik respond yes i tried both but it dont work it think i just dont have the right cable and i dont know what cable i need i tried them al even the hdmi to hdmi mini and the hdmi to usb both are usb 3.0
omg i am so thankfull i take my words back i didnt try the usb fast port thankyou so muchhhhh!!!!!
is the canon R5 compatible with the camlink 4k
So I have the Sony a74
I didn’t realize that even though it can hook itself up to the computer and look fine, it’s not as good as the cam link.
But now my image is super zoomed in on me. Is that cause I’m recording in high resolution? Do I just need a different lens? Like you can only see my head and chest where as yours you get this super wide angle scrumptious view
What lens you using?
Perhaps my camera is too close to me?
Hello I did the same process and everything worked good ni whe I start a gaming live stream the video get frozen all the time I go live in Facebook. Any solution for that?
