The Edit
Unless you have chosen to use special hardware to en-1 code and upload your vidcast live to a streaming server! then you have one of two types of editing ahead of youl The first we could call “best takes” and the other, “live from tape.”
Best takes editing is probably very familiar to you; after transferring footage to your edit computer, you simply select the best takes from one or more camcordl ers and create a rough cut of your main or “coverage” camcorder. Next, insert second or third camera angles,] tweak your in and out points, add your open, appropri-j ate transitions, music, graphics and credits, and you have your final cut.
With two or more camcorders, you have the option I of editing live from tape that resembles a live studio production. This requires a bit more preparation prior to shooting, along with software and a computer capable of handling multiple streams of video, but you get significant time savings in post. With this method, the whole vidcast, or contiguous segment, is shot as if it were live… except, if you make a mistake, you can start all over (of course, this greatly slows down the edit process and somewhat defeats the purpose of “live”).
