Combining a prepared company film with a livestream

A prepared video can explain background and product information. A livestream can handle a demonstration, event or conversation as it happens. Plan the two together while assigning their production and playback responsibilities separately.

A prepared video can explain background and product information. A livestream can handle a demonstration, event or conversation as it happens. Plan the two together while assigning their production and playback responsibilities separately.

Prepare the material for the live setting

Confirm the video format, sound, captions and playback cues with the live team. Make sure the presenter knows what the prepared segment covers and how the programme continues afterwards.

Test the playback and relevant connections. Define who controls each cue and what happens if a segment or connection fails.

Plan useful reuse

After the event, identify sections that work as independent edits. Check permissions and remove context-dependent material that would confuse a later viewer.

A recording of the event and a polished short recap serve different purposes. Agree the desired outputs in advance so the crew can capture what each one needs without compromising the live programme.
