Do you have solutions for audios not syncing in the recording? Everything is in sync while I'm in Zoom live but when I look at the recordings the audio is out of sync with the video. I teach fitness classes on Zoom. Its crucial for the music & my audio to sync.
@@superhighoctane I would clap my hands at the beginning of the lesson and then when I come to deal with the recording in my editing program I would use my hands coming together and the sound of the clap to align everything. This is why I would use an application like Ecamm ( bit.ly/3pTMBfT ) which gives you more control over things like this
hi Andrew. It's me again. I'm losing my rag. I've watched your video about setting up a tiny studio, which was great by the way. I want to set up mine like you did however, before I buy all the gear you recommend, I'm still having a major issue. If I connect my DSLR Canon m50 to my computer via a USB to do a live Zoom call, the external RØDE mic plugged into the camera doesn't get picked up by Zoom. I'm having to use my Yeti mic which ios plugged in a different USB port which results in my video and sound being out of sync while streaming. Any tip would be welcome.
If you are bringing in the audio and video in separately you are going to have to set a delay to the audio in order to sync it. If you're on a PC and are live streaming you may have to use something like a ATEM Mini to add a delay, since Ecamm is a Mac only application. OBS does work on the PC but I'm not sure you can set it up in Zoom as a virtual camera - so it's likely a hardware solution is the route you'll have to go down You will likely be able to connect the M50 to the ATEM via HDMI which will give you a sharper picture, the audio will be fed directly into the ATEM and in the ATEM software you can add a delay to the audio. Your computer will see the ATEM as a camera, but the ATEM allows you to connect multiple cameras and audio sources should you want to later.
@CourseBuildersAcademy Really!!! Is that the easiest way of doing it? How are people able to stream online using Zoom via a PC without having to install or buy all this gear.? Surely there must be an easier plug-and-play solution. My crappy webcam is automatically detected by zoom and the sound is perfectly in sync. Why can't the mic from my dslr be picked up in the same way?
@@rankingacademy You can feed the audio directly into the camera, this way the audio and the video will be synced up. But to do this you need to output to your computer via HDMI - USB out of the M50 if my memory serves me correctly does not carry audio. But, the M50 and again I'm working from memory does not have an unlimited record time, it's limited to 29 mins as are a lot of the lower-end cameras are, so you need to take this into consideration no matter what you do and check if this is still the case, they may have rectified this on the M50 mk2 or a 3rd party app like Magic Lantern may fix it, you would have to research this. So, you've 2 options: 1. Use some like a ATEM to delay the audio and combine the audio and video into one feed. 2. Feed the audio into the camera and connect via HDMI. But, here's the thing, pre-amps on the lower-end consumer cameras are not great, so you'll likely need to use an external pre-amp ( I use a Zoom H6 ) and feed the audio to the H6 and then to the camera ( if you're using a XLR mic ), if you're using a USB mic you need to connect the mic to the camera as I show in my videos and then have the mic do the audio boosting and not the camera - this stops the hiss.
Can you confirm that ECamm will work under the following conditions. I have a Focusrite 2i2 connected to my Macbook Air M3. The Audio is on the XLR input on the Focus 2i2. This is coming directly from the amp on the PA system. My camera, Canon 5d Mark IV is connected by USB to my Macbook Air M3. I then have to use a piece of software called Canon EOS Webcam Utility which then sets up the Canon 5d Mark IV as a webcam. In Zoom, I set the Camera to EOS Utility Webcam and I set the audio to Focusrite 2i2. This all works correctly except for the audio / video sync. Please can you let me know if ECamm will play nicely with this setup? Many thanks 🙂
Should do, download a free trail of Ecamm and find out: bit.ly/3pTMBfT I personally would connect the camera via HDMI using a HDMI to USB convertor, you will get better quality like that
Nice vid! I found ecamm to be a bit of a cpu hog. Some audio interfaces will let you do this natively. Another CPU hog method is to use OBS with their virtual CAM - works great too.
My Mac Book Pro fan would go into overdrive with Ecamm and considering it was a high spec and almost new when I tried it was taken back by this, then I bought one of those new Mac Minis with the M1 chip OMG what a machine for the money, runs Ecamm like a charm, it's a real little workhorse.
I got a Rode Videomicro and I can get the image to show up on Zoom but no audio. I even disabled the microphone from the computer. I have a Canon D70 that I am trying to use as a webcam. Is there some setting I need to change? Thank you in advance for your time. Great video.
I don't think the Canon D70 passes audio over the HDMI cable and maybe this is also a limitation on USB cables too. Also, I do know the D70 doesn't have a clean HDMI out and also has an auto cut off after 30 mins. BTW clean HDMI means all the icons on your rear camera screen will also appear on the video you present to your customers.

Here's how to fix audio delay in Zoom and improve the quality of your presentation at the same time.

Purchased the Audio HiJack + Loopback based on your recommendation. Thanks for the helpful video!
Glad you liked it, hope you come back to learn more, thanks for the comments
Video content and production value are superb--nice work, Andrew! Keep up the good work!
Thank you Nate, I appreciate you taking the time to comment!
Hi Andrew. Thank you for your prompt reply. I am based in the UK. Please can you recommend a HDMI to USB Video Capture Convertor? Many thanks Michael.

Thank you so much! I had Ecamm but didnt know it had that functionality!
Ecamm as so many features, I love this little program.

The software you recommend (Audiojack and loop) is only for Mac systems, not Windows, might have saved me 10 minutes had you mentioned that :)

Hi , your video was very nicely done but when i tried it I got no volume on the microphone at all. Any ideas why this might be?

When I shared video in zoom then only there is this issue.how solve it
This is great, but when I test my ecamm live mic on zoom vs the actual mic on zoom, the mic sounds a lot better vs the ecamm live mic. Any thoughts?
I'm not sure why, it shouldn't do. I would reach out to Ecamm support and ask them, they are a friendly bunch of guys
