Block By Block - PRO TIPS

All right, now let's get into some pro tips. The first one is hotkeys. Hotkeys. Hotkeys. ECAMM provides you with so many hotkeys. Let's just go up here to the main menu up here. Scene New empty scene command B. Duplicate your scene command D, lock scene command L, and so on and so forth.

Right. And I encourage you to go through the main menu up here and just check out all the hotkeys for the different options here. Right. Camera. And we're going to get into this here because you can actually use hotkeys to switch camera sources. Right. And then let's see what else we have here. There's some hotkeys for overlays for recording.

Make sure you just check out all of these here. All right? And let's do something really cool. So up here on camera, you notice that there are hotkeys. I have a camera here for 4K camlink 4K, that's set to number one. And I also have a Face Cam Pro, and that's set to number two. So let's do a blank scene right here. And I'm going to switch between 1 and 2. See that? 1, 2.

So I'm using my keyboard as a camera switcher. How cool is that? All right. And not only that, let's delete the scene here. Not only that, but. But in your scenes panel, you see this right here, you can actually assign hotkeys to control your scenes this way. Granted that that key is not already assigned to a feature. For example, you can't use A, you can't use B, you can't use Z. Right.

You can't use 1, 2. Right. But I think the QWERTY. The QWERTY line is pretty much freed up. So let's say we want to assign the countdown to Q and host to W. Guest E. Let's just. Let's just try these.
Diana Gladney 00:02:23 - 00:02:51
So Q, countdown, W, Host, guest, E. Right. So using the keyboard as our switcher for scenes, the same thing applies for overlays. Let's say we want to hide everything here. So the next one will be R. Right. So now let's type R and I hit everything. I'm going to type R again.
Diana Gladney 00:02:51 - 00:03:02
And it pulls it up. It pulls it up. Yeah. So that's pretty cool. I think the QWERTY line is pretty much freed up. So feel free to use those. And not only that. Not only that.

But if we have music, for instance, let's pull up our sound effects panel. Okay. And we do have a track here. So we can actually click on the gear icon here and add the hotkey. Which one did we not use? We use queue and we used R. So let's use the T here and T for tequila. Let's try that. You see that? And if I want to stop, type T again and it stops.

How cool is that? So you have all these hotkeys here. Let's say you haven't budget for a stream deck or whatnot and you do want to automate your run up show the hotkeys are what where it's at. Okay, and while we're on the subject of sound effects here, here is the next pro tip. Maybe you don't want to rely on the sound effects panel and manually playing your audio from here. And you want to control it within the scene itself. So you can actually take your sound effect and drag and drop it into the scene so it's going to start playing. Okay, here are the sound levels here. And let's say you want to keep your sound effects universal at this 35 for example, but you need this track to come in a little bit lower.
