Tips and Tricks

Jason Barbosa Tips and Tricks for Expression Encoder 2 from Jason Barbosa, Co-Presenter for Microsoft Expression Encoder 2: Essentials.
Here is a quick tip from Jason on how to mimic a small television studio in Expression Encoder 2.

When utilized correctly, the live encoding in Expression Encoder 2 can mimic the functionality of a small television studio. Much like the Technical Director's board, if you have multiple cameras connected to your computer, you can switch between the angles live while encoding. You can also switch to pre-made images and graphics to inter-cut them into your Live Encode session.
