    I got this camera 1 week ago but i havent been able to test it too much yet.
    I also just got a new macbook pro, but I use Windows stationary PC at home.
    I followed this guide and it worked brilliant on both mac and PC with USB-C to USB-C and USB-A :)
    Thank you for a nice simple guide!
    Im getting some longer cables, because I tested with my SSD cables (5 cm) but it worked for sure !

      hello, I would like to know if you got the same Power Supply Adapter he recommended on the video? in the Amazon link it does not says it is compatible with EOS R8, so I am not sure to buy it yet, also how has your experience been with it if you have it? thank you

    If I don't plan on exceeding 1080p, would you recommend using HDMI for even cleaner results, or would it be the exact same as using the USB streaming>

    • @Jason_Hermann

      Yes, I would always recommend the HDMI option for the best results possible...

    This video is SOO well done & helpful, thank you! I like that you don't have to use the Canon utility. Are you comfortable with the 3rd party dummy battery? Experience with it? I'd prefer the Canon one but wow, it's spendy. Because the R8 has the card slot on the bottom--I really don't like it (I'm on a tripod a lot & need to change cards frequently), but I could see myself getting it as a webcam and lightweight backup camera. Tempting.

      Hello and I'm glad you enjoyed the video! I use dummy batteries with the cord that plugs into the wall on a few cameras in my studio with no issues, you should be fine..👍

  • @johnhe9984
    @johnhe9984 17 дней назад

    For daily meetings, do you leave dummy battery plugged in with power supply and also leave the camera power switch on, and let computer to control camera system on/off? I used my Canon 5D mark III as a webcam. The switch was on with a dummy battery plugged in all the time, and it caused a problem to my camera: I could not power it on after usage for about a month. I just ordered a new Canon R8 in Amazon with an adaptor so I can still use the EF lenses. It sounds like I can cancel my subscription of EOS Webcam Utility Pro (you did not use that in your video). Any thoughts?

    Hi Jason,
    Great video. Nicely done and to the point. Appreciate your video.
    Have you done any tests between using USB versus HDMI for streaming yet?
    I bought the R8 and will be doing some streaming for interviews, etc., but I'm a little disappointed with the USB out only being FHD at 30 given that the port can handle full 4k. This seems like a bizarre software crippling by Canon.
    I think I might then have to use the HDMI option. But now concerns are: 1. Is the output quality really 4k from that port, and 2. Would it run a lot hotter then and either turn off from overheating or drain the battery faster.
    I'd be very interested to know how the output quality compares between the two ports as well as how they each perform in terms of heat and battery performance.
    Finally, I'd also love to know if the camera can still record internally to card while still outputting to either USB or HDMI at full spec.
    Thanks again for this video. 😎👍

    Awesome video, thanks so much!! Only problem with this method, I cannot record on my camera while doing it this way through FaceTime. I have a question for you. I'll be doing some filming this month with my Canon R8. I would love to also be able to view the live feed to my Macbook Air (or possibly iPad). What program/s do I have to use, and mostly I would have to hook up to the HDMI output of my camera? Is there a good app or just use screenrecord on my Macbook Air if I also want to record the video and/or audio? I would also record video/audio on the camera to it's SD card. I guess to Tether, is the word I'm looking for lol

      I'm not fully sure about your use case. But if you want to use HDMI out of your cam and see that as a source on PC you usually have to use a capture card (for example something like an Elgato HD60S or a Elgato Camlink 4k or from any other brand) which provides at least the resolution and framerate you are targeting. For recording on your PC / Mac you need to use some recording program. I live stream and for that we use OBS and honestly I would probably even use OBS if I wanted to record anything else from my cam on pc. Essentially you would feed in the canon feed via HDMI to your cap card, add it as a resource to your scene in OBS and then record to your SSD / HDD via OBS. You can then also enable the virtual camera inside OBS and use this virtual camera as the source for Teams or FaceTime (if Facetime allows that I'm not sure about that) which means you can use whatever you show in your OBS scene including any potential overlays, greenscreen filters, whatever, to your program used for communication

      @andybea6352 10 месяцев назад +1

      Thanks. Your method of directly selecting the camera in Zoom worked beautifully and reliably! The EOS Webcam Utility Pro couldn't even detect my R8 (seems like a common problem). I'm happy to report no video-audio discrepancy. Just to confirm, do you set shutter speed to 1/60 given frame rate is 30 FPS?

    One quick question. I get a lot of mixed feedback from people regarding whether or not that USB-C will charge the phone while filming. Because I live stream I am afraid to find out. In your video you discuss this. It sounds like purchasing the dummy battery linked below is my best option, correct? Thanks again for an amazing video.

    • @Jason_Hermann
      @Jason_Hermann  Год назад +1

      This camera does not charge while using the USB-C for a web camera based on my testing... So yeah, dummy battery would be the best solution to this problem in my opinion.

      I don't understand the question exactly? If you are asking can you power the camera with the USB-C while using as a webcam the answer is no. So that is why I showed the dummy battery AC adapter.

    • @Jason_Hermann
      @Jason_Hermann  Год назад +1

      Well you don't have to if you just want to use the one camera and your just talking... OBS and Ecamm for example allow you to do a lot more such as multi cameras, sharing PC screen, showing comments from live stream on the window for your viewers to see for example. I use Ecamm, but it's a month payment sort of thing and takes a bit of learning to use. OBS is free, but very complicated the last time I looked, so using that is a huge time investment in learning for sure, but works great once you dial it in.

  • @apostolicbible1
    @apostolicbible1 8 месяцев назад +1

    Use the R8 with the4K it was designed for and just load the SD card video to the computer via the EOS Utility. Then use a Zoom F3 or H8 and have the audio go into the R8...this is probably the bestquality you will get. Using the R8 as a webcam is a waste of the camera technology and the audio sucks compared to the F3 audio.

    • @Jason_Hermann
      @Jason_Hermann  8 месяцев назад +1

      I agree, but these manufactures are still offering this option so I wanted to show off how it works for those interested. How exactly are you doing a live stream by loading the SD Card via the EOS Utility? I Only know about using the R8 HDMI out and a cam link style method for live 4k and the audio part makes perfect sense... Thanks, Jay

      The resolution and frame rate of image output is 2K (1920×1080) at 30 fps according to the manual, so I would say no unless you use the HDMI out to a Camlink or something, but not using the USB turn key method.
