You can use dslrBooth to provide a video guestbook at your wedding or special event.
Microphone
To ensure high-quality audio, it is essential to use an external microphone. dslrBooth records audio through the camera or device it is connected to, so make sure the microphone is properly connected to the correct device for optimal sound capture.
Using a Microphone with DSLR Cameras
Connect the external microphone directly to the DSLR camera’s microphone input. This ensures that the audio is recorded through the camera, as dslrBooth captures audio from the camera itself. This setup is ideal for users who want to record high-quality audio directly synced with their video.
Using a Microphone with Webcams
When using a webcam with dslrBooth, connect the microphone to the computer running the software. This allows dslrBooth to capture audio directly from the computer, as webcams typically do not have dedicated microphone inputs.
Additional Considerations for Tablets and Other Devices
For setups involving tablets, such as a Surface Pro, the microphone should still be connected to the camera (if using a DSLR) rather than the tablet. This ensures that dslrBooth captures audio correctly.
Video/Text Prompts
You can use the virtual attendant function to play back videos before a video is recorded. You can set those videos to have text or even a person asking a question. Canva is an easy way to create great looking video text or graphical prompts.
