With [[Ben Allen]] at the helm of the shoot days, and the post work, the process was refined and new production methods implemented (mainly using DaVinci Resolve to do the keying). The videos included one sent in remotely, and the rules have been adapted both on YSTV's end and from YUSU to allow for this in future. (The candidate records their video under the normal conditions while being watched over skype by a YSTV producer). The response both from YUSU and from candidates was very positive. | ||
==Technical Issues== | |||
===EncodeSrv=== | |||
During the same time period as 60 sms the computing team had finally swapped away from their old transcoders to their new transcoders, the bytemarks. Whilst this was an upgrade since it provided extra space in the studio, the software however was not completely installed on them. Where they were only capable of transcoding livestreams not completing encoding jobs. So in order to ensure that the videos would be available to watch on the website, the computing team setup EncodeSrv, the software that handles all our rendering, the issue being was a lack of documentation and the software was based on Python 2.7. So over a period of a week the software was brought up to use Python 3.8. However, during the haste of development there ended up being 4 different variants of the software being deployed for the 60 sms due to the encoding jobs failing and patches were made to the software on the fly. Luckily, all the videos were able to be processed in time to be released to the public. | |||
===Uploading to the website=== | |||
Due to an issue with how the YSTV website processes videos it was generating incorrect encode jobs for the videos that Ben had produced through DaVinci Resolve. Likely caused by the YSTV website not being "familiar" with the metadata generated by Resolve, [[Ben Allen| Ben]] {{unsure|"transmuxed"}} the video files so the website could generate the correct jobs. | |||

This was a special OB since it involved two OB units being used, a lot more cameras than a regular OB, and the VideoHub two to a lack of capacity on the ATEM. OB2 handled our main stream whilst OB1 handled the YUSU stream which played out graphics in The Lounge. | This was a special OB since it involved two OB units being used, a lot more cameras than a regular OB, and the VideoHub two to a lack of capacity on the ATEM.

The ERN show is always one of the largest productions of a typical YSTV year, with normally upwards of 20 people involved on the crew just from YSTV. It is also an occasion to work with both TechSoc (Technical theatre) and URY on the technical end, and YUSU on the planning and delivery end. | The ERN show is always one of the largest productions of a typical YSTV year, with normally upwards of 20 people involved on the crew just from YSTV.
