h1. Video Release Process
Unless the presenter has an objection, talks are recorded and published afterward. This page details the current process.
Note that the process uses "Davinci Resolve":https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolve/ for the editing. It's not OSS but this is what I'm used to and have already setup for other jobs, so this is what I use.
h2. Source material
The BBB instance raw stream dump can be downloaded just by looking up the link in the page source. Or simply using the script below and feeding it the meeting ID which is in the URL when viewing the raw stream dump through the BBB interface.
Once downloaded, ffmpeg is used to repackage the video streams in `mp4` container and transcode the audio from OPUS into FLAC to bring them into containers/formats that the linux version of resolve can load. (Note newer version of resolve should support MKV now, but that hasn't been tried. Sticking with the "tried and working" process for now).
<pre><code class="shell">
#!/bin/bash
set -e
ODC_SLUG="$1"
MEETING_ID="$2"
curl -o "tmp_webcams.webm" "https://meeting4.franken.de/presentation/${MEETING_ID}/video/webcams.webm"
curl -o "tmp_deskshare.webm" "https://meeting4.franken.de/presentation/${MEETING_ID}/deskshare/deskshare.webm"

rm "tmp_webcams.webm" "tmp_deskshare.webm"

h2. Edit
Just do a normal edit, trimming start / stop and anything that shouldn't be in there (like technical issues or whatever).
Some notes / guidelines : FIXME
* Project Settings
** 1280x720 24fps
** Davinci YRGB (not color managed)
** Fairlight -14 LUFS target loudness
* Intro:
** Use a Fusion composition (two examples attached), tweak as needed (font size, ...)
** About 10 second long
** Start speaker audio intro ~ 1-2 second in
** Transition to slide: Dip-To-Color-Dissolve, 1s, Ease In-Out
* Q&A:
** If there is no such slide, use a Fusion composition for video
** Cut out any long blanks
* Outro:
** Check there is a "thanks for watching" or similar
** Fade to black ~ 3 second
* Floating Head:
** Magic mask with expand and feather edge. Add alpha out on color page from the magic mask node.
** Add power window to control the crop
* Audio:
** FX: Dialogue processor filter with default for "Male VO"
** EQ: Lo cut at 100 Hz, Hi cut at 10 kHz
** Adjust audio level in Q/A section for the individual speaker
* Master Render
** Video: Grassvalley HQX 720p
** Audio: Linear PCM 16 bits
h2. Local encode
Once the master render is done, the file is transcoded into a few formats more suitable for online viewing using ffmpeg using the script below :
Theses are relatively low bitrates but perfectly fine for "slides" type of content with voice-over in 720p.
(Note the script is design to work on a machine with a NVidia card and driver to have hw acceleration of h264 and h265 encoding)

h2. VOC upload
The final step is to feed the master render to the VOC rendering pipeline so the talk can be published on https://media.ccc.de .
