Overview
Meddly enables teams to record events on multiple mobile devices at the same time through the mobile app.
Use this guide when you are ready to run a live recording and need clear steps for Event Managers, Editors, and Contributors.
Setting Up the Event
Before you can start recording an event, you need to set it up. Your team must have at least two Members before you can start recording.
For the Event Manager:
Go to Camera Screen
Navigate to the Camera by selecting the Camera tab on the bottom of the screen.
Join the Event
Tap "Select Event" to choose the event you want to manage and join it.
Begin Event Setup
Tap the "Setup Event" button to move the event into the setup phase. During setup and when the event is being captured, other cameras will be automatically connected.
For Admins & Editors:
Go to Camera Screen
Navigate to the Camera by selecting the Camera tab on the bottom of the screen.
Join the Event
Admins and Editors are automatically connected during setup and when the event is being captured. You can also tap "Join Event" or use "Select Event" to connect manually.
For Contributors:
Go to Camera Screen
Navigate to the Camera by selecting the Camera tab on the bottom of the screen.
Join the Event
Contributors are automatically connected during setup and when the event is being captured. You can also tap "Join Event" or use "Select Event" to connect manually.
Setting Up Cameras Early:
If you are positioning cameras before the event is ready to begin, set everything up in advance so you do not need to touch devices again once they are in place.
The Event Manager taps "Setup Event" first to move the event into setup status.
Each camera device stays on the Camera screen. Do not put the device to sleep.
Confirm every camera shows "Connected" on the Camera screen.
The Event Manager's Camera screen shows the total number of connected devices next to the "Connected" status bar. Use this to verify all cameras are accounted for before the event starts.
Once all cameras are confirmed connected, leave them as-is. No unlocking or repositioning needed when the event is ready to start.
Recording the Event
The Event Manager controls when the event starts and stops for all connected devices.
When the Event Manager taps the record button and confirms, all connected devices begin recording simultaneously.
When the Event Manager stops recording and confirms, Admin and Editor devices stop recording automatically.
Once the event is recording, Contributors can start and stop their own device independently.
Your event has been recorded!
The videos are saved right to your device and automatically uploaded for processing.
Event Media Processing
Once the event is recorded, the videos are automatically uploaded for processing. Meddly syncs all captured angles and prepares everything for creating Moments. This step might take a little bit, so please be patient.
