You're teaching style is efficient, succinct, comprehensive in less than 13 minutes!
And your studio setup and lighting are da BOMMB!!!!
LOVE it!
Thank you so much!
Right? It's such an awesome space for an equally amazing person.
@@themarshallfox I have a question concerning your personal overlay, are you using extra lighting in the back, I saw that you placed extra lighting directly over you but what about the back ground behind you? thanks for your reply in advance!
You already had a subscriber about halfway through this video, then you offered the overlays! Wow! I hit that red button! Thank you so much!
You are my new favourite RUclips teacher. Absolutely LOVE your helpful content.
Awww thanks Holly! We'll pass this note along to Marshall.
Wow, thanks so much, Holly!
Thank you Marshall. It really helped a lot in our service.
No problem!
So glad to hear it, Janice!
The NDI TOOLS nugget is exactly what I needed. Thanks for sharing
So glad to hear it!
That was awesome, super tech, better than watching tv!
Yay! So glad to hear it.
Wow, thanks Phil!
Marshal, this was a GREAT tutorial! Step by step and you intercepted every possible rabbit hole. I APPRECIATE you!
Thanks, Elaine! Hope all is well!
Thanks for tuning in, Elaine! Glad it was helpful.
Amazing! I got lost with NDI because I could not control what NDI saw. Thank you!
Thanks Marquesa!
Marshall, you're an AMAZING teacher!!! Thank you for this tutorial. As I start to build out overlays for Ecamm, this was PERFECT!!! I can't find that cool circle with a shadow in Canva to save my life! NDI seems to have changed how they do their downloads, so I'll search to see if you have any newer videos about it! Keep up the fantastic videos!!!
Thanks for watching! Marshall is live every Thursday at 2pm Eastern here on our channel if you want to pop on and ask.
Holy crap...this is just what I was looking for and wondering if it was possible to do with Canva! Awesome....thank you!😃👍🍻
It took a bit of trial and error but I figured it out! Thanks for tuning in!
Right? Our minds were BLOWN.
“Instant alpha” in Preview on Mac OSX = I can’t believe I’m just learning this! Thank you great video
Thanks for watching, TJ! Instant alpha is awesome :)
Thanks, I was making overlays without the cutout, game changer for me!
No doubt bro!
Dude! This is so cool! Thank you man!
No problem!
Thanks for tuning in!
Wait a sec! This NDI Tools is a game changer for anyone on Mac. About to see if this also works outside of Ecamm on things like OBS, etc. This is the window capture alternative I’ve been looking for entirely too long. Thanks 🙏🏼 Gonna check out Ecamm now because of this tutorial. I was honestly not into the subscription stuff because no other live-streaming program is doing all that without merch store benefits and other huge features, but I’ll give it a shot.
Also! Keep this man as your RUclips dude. He’s relatable and explains so well. Your channel will grow in subs big time with this guy. I can already see this video being HUGE for anyone on Mac discovering it.
So glad to hear it! Let us know if any questions come up along the way.
Hey thanks man! Much appreciated!
@@themarshallfox Gotta give credit where credit is due.
Thanks Marshall. I have the pro version of Canva but this tutorial is fantastic.
Me too! Lol. Thanks so much!! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
haha. Thanks Ileane!
You are the truth brother. Bringing in sources has been one of my biggest issues in dealing with this. This puts it on the same customization level as other software like wirecast, OBS etc...
Thanks for watching! So glad to hear it.
Oh My Goodness! This totally rocks... awesome! Thank you 🙏
You’re welcome!
Yay! Thanks for watching.
This was a terrific tutorial -- thank you, Marshall and Ecamm Live!
Thank you for watching!
Wow! So freaking dope. I've been looking for such detailed clip for a while now. I even purchased Photoshop to use the magic eraser to remove layers to make it transparent. Didn't even need photoshop when I could have done it in Preview Mode. This is awesome. OMG! So excited lol. Thanks so much. Would love to learn more about how to zoom when you need students to focus on a specific area within the screen, Thanks so much Marshall.
Thanks Giselle! and Thanks for the sub! I used a plugin called mCamRig for Final Cut Pro X but going forward I'll find a different solution. I don't like how it gets blurry when zooming in.
@@themarshallfox it's obvious I am a beginner
¯\_( ͡❛ ͜ʖ ͡❛)_/¯. I'm having an issue with overlay lower third. I've created multiple overlay lower third using Canva (love it); however, when I upload it to ecamm there's a background which I do not want. On Canva I can't remove the background because it's animated mp4 file. How can I go about removing the background in an animated overlay lower third? Can you help?
@@uplifting_for_purpose That would be dope! That isn’t possible yet and I don’t have an easy workaround unfortunately. I’d be all over that!
You are genius. I love the interview window.
Thanks so much! We appreciate you watching.
Marshall you are a genius!
You’re too kind!! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
We could not agree more.
I didn’t know about that instant alpha in preview! Thank you!
Thank YOU for watching! Glad it was helpful.
Great Advice, Marshall, thank you very much, made my day.
Wow, thank you so much! 😃
Exactly what I was looking for super straight forward and easy to follow. And you packs are really affordable!
I rarely leave comments, but this was well earned!! Thank you so much for making that simple and painless and concise. Please teach EVERYTHING ECAMM!!
Thanks so much for watching AND for leaving a comment. We're so delighted you found this video helpful.
Awesomeness! Thank you.
You’re welcome!! 😃
NO WAY! 🤯 THIS IS UNREAL!! Duuuuuuuude.. I'm hella pumped!
Thanks Paul!!
Great tutorial! Cheers!
Thanks so much!
So glad to hear it!
Canva + Ecamm = Priceless. This was a great tutorial!!!
Thanks Kenyon! We thought so, too.
Marshall! YO this was super amazing dude! Especially how to add website overlays, using NDI Tools! I did not know how to do that!
Dean what’s good bro! Many thanks 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 #DocRockTaughtMe
RIght? NDI Tools for the WIN
@@EcammLive yassss
@@themarshallfox for sure! Doc is legit
Smooth as usual bruh. Nice tutorial.
Thanks for checking it out.
Thanks Gil!!
Fantastic! I've been using Keynote, which is fine, but this is FIRE!!🔥
Thanks so much, Trish! Yes Keynote is very similar but the benefit of Canva is that there are a lot of pre-installed backgrounds and fonts, more shapes and tools for design. I just wish there was a way to "punch out" those sections instead of having to use Instant Alpha in Preview.
@@themarshallfox Even with punching out the sections using Instant Alpha is easier than Keynote! And yes, the pre-installed backgrounds etc in Canva just makes it even more flexible. So thank you!
Nice job Marshall. Thx for providing us with this knowledge.
Thanks for watching!
Great job. More tutorials on this would be fantastic. Thank you
Thanks for letting us know you want to see more design tutorials! We will make a mental note for future reference ;)
Wow! So easy peasy! Thank you getting those overlays you offered thank you 🙌🏻
Hey Carmen! Thanks so much, as always!! 💯💯💯
Thank you so much! It helped!
Amazing! So glad to hear it
No problem!
Great job bro. I’ve done this already but not quite as well as you..LOL. I like how you explained it. Smooth flow... Respect 👊🏾
Thanks bro!
Love it

Awesome, thanks for watching!
Wow! Great Tutorial. Thank you!
Thank, YOU.
Thanks for tuning in!
Fantastic tutorial. To the point and helpful.
Thank you!
These are great thanks so much! Nice to see all these possibilities. Especially that app for app display. Will be vey helpful to go through some of the templates here, that’s vey valuable. I think a lot of the issues I have faced are workable. I do hope to review what kinds of audio production possibilities there are on ECamm. Will be something I’ll be keeping an eye out for. I know it’s possible to just run a DAW in the background for recorded videos, but for live video, I haven’t found a good way to have good multi-channel audio in the feed, other than having a manual mixing pad, …I have a Scarlett-based rig for instance, so another investment for an 8+ channel mixer is unfortunate.

Great video, Marshall!
Thanks for watching!
Great video for creating from Canva.
Thanks for tuning in, Ros!
Thank you!
Thanks. This was great. I managed to create my own brand
Amazing!! Thanks so much for watching.
What file type do you download this as? When I go to delete the inside of the shape it doesn't go black, it goes transparent... This is absolutely FANTASTIC! Wanted to make my presentation pop...and you just gave me the BOMB!!!
It’s supposed to be transparent. It looks black on mine because my computer is set to “dark mode”
@@themarshallfox - thank you! For everything! This is absolutely EXCELLENT!!!
@@heathersmuin2941 No problem Heather! Thanks for watching!
huge help!!! thanks!
You’re welcome!
So glad to hear it!
love this thank you so much, this has me completly sold now on how i want to present my youtube videos i have been boring for too long lol
So glad to hear it! Let us know if any questions come up along the way.
@@EcammLive i would love your help if you can. Do you do custom backgrounds? I’m looking to get something done as if it was just me on camera sharing screen and also backgrounds for 1.2.3.4 and 5 person interviews 😀
Hi Stix Fx! We do not create custom backgrounds, but we recommend these creators: support.ecamm.com/en/articles/5124226-graphics-packages-and-overlays-for-ecamm-live
@@EcammLive ah ok, never mind thanks for your reply, i will look into this as well :-)
Super helpful, super simple. Thank you
You’re welcome!
So thrilled to hear it!
Great tutorial and very helpful! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Carlos!
Top stuff fella, thanks for the lessons🙏
Thank YOU for watching!
This was terrific and so simple, Thank you Marshall. I would love to use NDI can Converter but I have some issues with it. When I open it, in the tool bar, it doesn't sow file but "Capture". In Capture I can choose my google chrome window. In Ecamm I can see the new source from scan converter but it sows a black screen (even when I select another application like my Mail). The settings au authorizations seems Ok in System Preferences. What I am doing wrong 🤷🏼♀️
Hi Chloé, NDI's Scan Converter got a bit wonky since we released this video. However, Ecamm Live now has a Screenshare Overlay feature that works flawlessly. In the Overlays Panel, you'll see a monitor icon for the Screenshare Overlay. Check that out.
@@themarshallfox thank you for your answer 🙏🏼
You bet!
Your intro 🔥🔥🔥
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 Thanks!
RIGHT?!
such an amazing tutorial!
So glad to hear it was helpful.
Amazing!
Thanks again big bro! 🤙🏽
Great video 👍👍
Thank you!
the preview alpha was the piece i was missing. this is great. thanks. one question - with the screen share, I can't seem to get it to find safari when it's in full screen. I'm guessing that's on purpose. it can only share an app like safari when it's not full screen. is that correct?
Hi Craig! Since this video was released, Ecamm now has a Screenshare Overlay feature which you can use to share Safari. More info here: learn.ecamm.com/ecamm-live-manual/006-using-overlays/
Marshal!! I have one more question: If you don't have a green screen backdrop, how do you blur your background? In the camera effects, the blur option only works if you have green screen checked as well. I'm fingers crossed you have a solution. 🙏🏼🤞
Hi Lauren! You can achieve a blurred background (or bokeh effect) with your camera lens. You don't need a green or blue screen to do it that way.
Very helpful. Thank you!
So glad to hear it.
Really like your videos! You are engaging, love the background music, clear and yes, like the comment below, succinct. I would like to have a little more detailed explanation. Your videos can be a little longer just so I can understand more of what you are doing. That's my only request, other than, KEEP IT UP!!!
Thanks for the feedback Iona! And most importantly, thank you for watching :) For more detailed versions of this tutorial, check out our Marshall Creates series.
Love it! Thank you.
Thank YOU for watching!
Your videos and presentation are always top drawer Marshall. Thank you. Would love to see you take this to the next level with singular.live
Awesome, thanks, Mike!
Yeah, that would be so cool! Great thought, Mike.
MARSHALL FOX...TOO COOL, BUT WE LOVE HIM. Great video, first I've seen, but I'm hooked. Please try be a little cooler in your next vid :-)
Haha I'll try! lol Thanks for watching!
haha. Marshall is always the coolest 🆒
MARSHALL THE GOAT!!!!!!!!!!!!🔥🔥🔥🤯🤯🤯
Keep setting the pace bro!! Appreciate you! 💯💯
He's so amazing (and hey - you know we think you are, too!)
Marshall, when I do the same thing with NDI, I get everything like in your Ecamm, but when I, later on, share the screen with that scene - the mouse cursor isn't showing. If I just share another scene where I have the PiP with that same app, the mouse is back. Great video otherwise, specially the part on Canva, thanks!
that's so really good content. Big Fan now
YAY! Glad to hear it. Thank you for watching.
Very good video, thanks man.
Thank you for watching!

Hi Luke! Thanks for watching.
Thanks Luke!
Thumbs up. Great Content. Just wonder how you created the html page with the current time and a "Good morning Marshall"?
Hi Juergen,
That's actually a Google Chrome extension called Momentum that you can install. It's awesome. We're big fans.
I loved it! Thanks a lot. I use Air server to stream my keynote presentations as a camera from iPad. Is the quality of the NDI tools much better as Air server?
Excellent...thanks!
Thanks for watching!
Really helpful, thanks Marshall!
So glad to hear it, Steve! Thanks for watching.
You’re welcome!
I dont have instant alpha on my Mac….What is a different work around?
Same here, I don't have INSTANT ALPHA
New to Ecamm, followed up to the point where he added two guests. Been struggling for an hour trying to figure out how he did that. Uggh.
