Their full workflow seems pretty integrated with their platform and not all of it is FLOSS yet. They have a task management system (they call it the "tracker") which is a central part of their workflow and has not been licensed yet (the code is public though), but they told me FLOSS licensing is planned of course. The live editing part is their custom tool called voctomix: <a href="https://github.com/voc/voctomix" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/voc/voctomix</a> You can have an idea of the capabilities with this talk the main developer gave: <a href="https://media.ccc.de/v/froscon2016-1696-voctomix" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://media.ccc.de/v/froscon2016-1696-voctomix</a> Look in particular at 23:00 to see the various composition modes. As you can see, this is very limited editing possibilities, but probably exactly what you want to record a talk. As 40:00, he shows the GUI, with various inputs and how he mixes everything with buttons. This is a very basic GUI ("shitty" is the word he says in the talk), but actually perfectly fitted for talk recording/mixing IMO. You don't want to mess up with complicated features, you just want very simple mixing possibilities. And to see a result, for instance, have a look at our last talk at GUADEC, which was shot and live-edited, live-streamed then automatically uploaded on both their platform on youtube soon after: <a href="https://media.ccc.de/v/42-zemarmot__open_animation_film_produced_with_foss" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://media.ccc.de/v/42-zemarmot__open_animation_film_produced_with_foss</a> It also has a small "GUADEC" video jingle at the start with the name of the talk and people. I don't really think you need much more than this. As you can see, this topic is of high interest to me as well, so I also did some research on my own and got in contact with them some weeks ago (as I said in the previous email). :-) Jehan <div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5"> > No offence taken.
