TubeSpanner Live Beta

Live is now in beta: the tag at the top of the window says BETA.

Ending a show is one step. Stop from the floating bar that stays over every app while you record, or press Control-Option-Shift-Command-R from any app. Live comes to the front with your show saved, and a Start a show recording stops sharing your screen too.

After Stop, one card: watch the recording, show the files, or get it ready to edit in DaVinci Resolve, Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro or as a podcast. Live remembers which you use. Record another take keeps everything on; Done ends the show, turns your cameras, mic and screen sharing off, and takes you to Show Planner.

With TubeSpanner Studio 2.2.56 or later installed, the card after Stop and Past shows offer Open in Studio: every camera, the screen and the mics, lined up, ready to edit.

Choose where recordings go, in Settings. They go to Movies, TubeSpanner Live on a Mac (Videos on Windows) until you choose another folder. Shows already recorded stay where they are and stay in Past shows. If the folder you chose can't be reached (a drive unplugged), the show still records, in the usual folder, and Live says so.

Your scenes, sequences, sounds and show style can be saved to your TubeSpanner account, so they're the same on any computer you sign in on. The first time you sign in, Live asks. Live always works from its own copy, so a show never waits for the internet. Pictures, sounds and video files stay on each computer for now.

Guests' own full-quality recordings are now lined up with yours to a fraction of a second, measured against what you heard, so an editor can use them straight away.

If a camera or microphone stops, Live says why (unplugged, or the computer went to sleep) and how to bring it back.

Each recording now says what kind of show it was (Tutorial, Interview and so on), so TubeSpanner Studio can edit it the right way.

The editor project lines up every camera, the screen and the mics, with timecode, and each mic as a Broadcast WAV for a sound editor.

Start a show: "Start without the countdown".

Recording messages say what kind they are: green ✓ when it worked (the transcript is ready), yellow ! for a caution (little disk space left), red ✕ for an error.

Every recording folder now has a "What's in this folder.txt" that says what each file is, in plain words, updated once the transcript is made.

Reply to your YouTube live chat from the Chat tab, as your channel. Click someone's name to start a reply to them. If a reply can't be sent (the chat has ended, YouTube asks you to slow down), the box says why and keeps what you typed; the show carries on. For now replying needs YouTube connected to Live itself on the Go live tab, which is open to testers.
