What's New in Camera Gear? (An NAB 2015 Recap)

Last week I spent a few days wandering the show floor at the National Association of Broadcasters conference & trade show in Las Vegas while my team was there filming Pat Flynn's keynote at New Media Expo.

While there I checked out some of the newest tech for making videos and got to interact in person with a lot of the companies whose gear and software I use to run Caleb Wojcik Films day in and day out. 

In this video recap you'll see the Canon XC10, SmallHD 502, BlackMagic Micro & Video Assist, RED Weapon Dragon 8k, and more. I recap of the trade show floor, what gear I'm most excited about, and see some of the newest tech out there.

How to Use YouTube Cards

YouTube annotations have been both good and bad.

They help direct viewers to watch other videos, start viewing playlists, subscribe to a channel, donate to fundraising campaigns, visit an external website, and more.

But they also are poorly designed, extremely intrusive, and don't work on mobile devices.

Enter YouTube cards, the newest feature to YouTube. Think of YouTube cards as the better looking, younger sibling to annotations.

In this video I'll show you how to start using YouTube cards, what you can use them for, how to set up an external website on your channel to link to, and my 301 re-direct hack for linking to any possible URL from YouTube.
