    * Lessons Learned
      * [[https://youtu.be/bNSpASnvv_E?t=761|Avoid downtime!]]  Don't get distracted by the three different delays.  Pay attention to OBS!
      * [[https://youtu.be/bNSpASnvv_E?t=795|Triple check audio levels on videos!]] - Traffic was super harsh.
      * [[https://youtu.be/bNSpASnvv_E?t=2853|Need a better audio source]] - I accidentally clicked on trip-hop pomp and circumstance....Maybe we should separate the Processional and Recessional playlist...
      * [[https://youtu.be/bNSpASnvv_E?t=2936|Harshness when I turned on the external mic]] Next time, mix in the audience ambience from the start!
      * [[https://youtu.be/bNSpASnvv_E?t=3581|Finn's scene didn't have video]] Check on this
      * [[https://youtu.be/bNSpASnvv_E?t=5086|Disable Windows Sound Effects!]]  Better yet...use linux
      * Have a scene at the end for fading to black.
      * Have a higher and farther angle to show the staff
      * Have all cameras at the same resolution so video is at 1080p
      * Watch for audio bugs because the right side cut out during the ceremony

  * Rehearsal Day To Do
    * Broadcasting Table
      * Laptop
      * ATEM Mini
      * Webcam
      * USB C -> USB C Cable
      * Long 3.5mm M-M Audio Cable x 2 (Gym)
      * F-F 3.5mm Barrel connector
  * WESR will use our stream audio.
  * Lessons Learned
    * When livestream is over, don't forget to "end live stream" on Youtube.
    * Mix in more crowd volume...careful not to create weird doubling effect.
    * Double check audio levels on all videos. [[https://youtu.be/TnJtBNQjFSg?t=2860]]
    * Preview video feed for jitter before switching
  * Highlights

Graduation has been moved inside, to the gym.  New challenges:
  * Gym mixer only has one output...which is (of course) in use. 
    * Fixed - [[https://media.extron.com/public/download/files/userman/68-349-01__G.pdf|created a cable]] to splice in between the mixer and the amplifier.  Line is hot, so had to attenuate the signal quite a bit..
  * WESR may need to bring their own mics, because there are no outputs on our mixer. 
  * Camera setup
    * From half-court table
    * Basketball Goal (behind speakers, overlooking gym)?
  * Internet Access tested okay from the gym hallway.
  * Created holding pattern animation
  * Created blank title overlay
  * Created channel brand.  (Think NBC logo in the bottom right corner)
  * Created OBS scenes for each section of the ceremony.
  * Imported extended slideshow as a scene.

Soccer vs Northampton - 2021 Boys Senior Night
  * Thanks Brandon, Rawlings, and Shawn for your help!
  * Youtube Links
    * [[https://youtu.be/EANcNvEpRio|Video1]]
    * [[https://youtu.be/88r5B_nLR9U|Video2]]
  * Video stream was very choppy.  Needs more bandwidth.  Cell tether not sufficient.
  * Ethernet Connection
  * Audio.  
    * Need crowd audio...something for the background, so it isn't just silence.
    * Need an RCA Aux cable to pipe audio into the atem. 
    * Need to set audio levels. (Video1 08:26)(Video2 01:35)
      * (Video2 04:22 - can hear me turning down the level on the Atem)
    * PA Mic 2 has terrible hum...maybe check mic levels and other PA settings. (Video1 07:35 in;  Video2 starts out with the hum...could be cell phone interference)
  * Cable management - HDMI can be run under bleachers.
  * Tripods!! No "Blair Witch" soccer!
  * ATEM loses connection to computer.  Need a better USB Cable.
  * Cameras
    * Nikon Camera auto shutoff of LiveView ([[https://youtu.be/88r5B_nLR9U?t=571|Video2 09:31]])
    * Low battery ([[https://youtu.be/88r5B_nLR9U?t=1058|Video2 17:38]])
