what's going on guys johnathan here with TLD I get a lot of questions from you guys regarding what camera do I use what microphone do I use what's my setup for YouTube videos how do I make them so I want to kind of throw this little behind-the-scenes video show you guys like what camera and microphone I use and how I use them in conjunction and why prefer to use these for my videos I'll start out with the video I am using a Canon EOS 60d DSLR camera which you guys are watching with right now as far as the lens for my main body shots I use the stock 18 to 135 millimeter kit lens that came with the whole package it's about twelve to fourteen hundred bucks for the 60d plus that lens depending where you get it now for the close-ups and the product shots I'll jump between this lens the 18 to 135 as well as a 50 millimeter 1.4 and the 50 millimeter it's not as versatile as this but you get a huge depth of field so when you're up close and you want the background blur and just look at all cool that's where the 50 millimeter comes in so like I said a juggle between that 50 millimeter and the 18 to 135 lens now for the audio most onboard mics on cameras just in the simple word suck so I do use an external microphone and you guys that ask I'm using a zoom h1 you guys can see right here this is actually a portable recorder but the reason I like this maybe over like the rode videomic is you can actually maneuver it so you guys don't see it right now but what I'm recording the audio with is actually the zoom so you guys come up bring in the shot so I have it placed right here you guys are going to hear the audio adjusting because I'm moving it around but you guys can see from the other shot I can actually place it so it's not in the video and it's going to pick up a nice clean sound imma jump back and forth so right now I'm gonna let you guys hear the Canon 60d this is a Canon 60d audio so like I said just it's not good compared to the zoom so I'll jump back to the zoom so what you guys hearing right now is the zoom h1 which features to us there it's a stereo configuration as far as two condenser mics in the XY pattern that's going to eliminate phase issues and has really been an awesome piece of gear as far as bringing it to CES I know it was loud so I could actually double this take it off there have it on a mic stand right here but this actually doubles like a hand so you can get it up for CES it was great for any of yous you guys can hear it right here it's got obviously gonna change but just want to show you guys the exact setup obviously the audio is gonna move when I mounts it back on the actual stand for you guys to hear it and place it out the video so you guys can see it just on the corner right here remove it place it and it is out of the shot and pick it up great audio all right so now I'm jumping into Final Cut Pro I want to close this video out showing you how I sync up the audio between the 60d and the zoom h1 and this will work for anything if you're using a 5d a 7d at t2i and really any other external sound recorder so essentially what you're going to do is you're going to mimic the sync slate or the movie clapper what you see in movies when they go take one and you hear the clap or that whatever the sound and what that is for is you're going to use that to create an audio wav file so you can see that and sync up the video with the audio so we're gonna start out with the video file I have down here Canon 60d sync video I'm going to play it for you guys there's the clap so you can usually clap a couple times just to make sure you get a nice solid clap or if you want to buy a sleek sync slate go out and be professional you can do that as well so I have already made the marker right here and for those of you using Final Cut the keyboard shortcut is M so we're going to find it you can inch over the arrow key hit M that's going to create a marker you can title it sink one or whatever and the video is now marked to sync up with the audio so we're gonna do the same thing with the audio go up you see the stereo put inside and find the clap sort of three so you remember we use the middle clap right there same thing find the wave point make the marker there and now we have them to setup I'm going to drag this into the timeline and same thing with the audio you use up hand up there drag that in and we're going to use the sync points to line them up so we're going to zoom Z is the keyboard shortcut there little cut the end of that off and there we go so make sure and play it so now we should be all make sure they're on just so you'd mess up and we have it right there and just like that the audio is synced together you can either do this one or two things you can either straight up mute the 60d audio or your video audio and now all you hear is the zoom so now we should be all synced up the Canon Stacie or if you want to get a little more clean and organized what you can do is unlink these two clips on the 60d so we're going to command L that's going to generate the link and now we can just delete the audio there move this up and to go one step further make sure those are there select them both hit command L again that's going to link them so they're one so you don't got to worry about the audio if you move it falling apart and get an off track so let's go and do this here everything set up and we did it you guys now we should be all synced up the Canon say CD pick that up to zoom h1 you saw how easy it was to align the two in Final Cut so I'm going to close this video right here hope you guys enjoyed it hope it answer some questions as far as those that were wondering how I made my videos so Canon 60d plus zoom h1 is definitely an awesome combination and I would recommend it if you guys have a 60d and you're looking for a better source of audio h1 is a great product 99 bucks hope you guys enjoyed this video make sure to check out our latest two videos and I'll catch you guys later you
