How Zoom Recording Studio Enables Clean ISO Tracks (Full Transcript)

[00:00:00] Speaker 1: Recording Studio from Zoom introduces double-ended recording. This allows users to capture isolated media files, both in the cloud and locally from a participant's device, in the highest quality possible. Once the session ends, these files are automatically uploaded, and what you end up with is a high-resolution, isolated, uninterrupted video track for each person, regardless of how the internet was behaving during the recording session. Let me show you how it works. Let's set up a recording session. To get started, you'll need either a Zoom Webinars Plus or Events license. At release, enablement of this feature needs to be requested by your account admin. They can submit a ticket. Create a new event in Zoom Events. Select Single Session, and for our purpose, we'll want a meeting. From there, head into your meeting and webinar settings. You'll need to enable Cloud Recording and then can toggle on Recording Studio. We recommend leaving both of these checkboxes here turned on. The first creates the isolated media files. That's what we're going for here. The second creates a metadata file that can be directly imported into your favorite video editor, like Adobe Premiere or DaVinci Resolve. From here, you can also add speakers to this recording session itself, if you'd like them to receive specific invitations to this recording session. This is an optional step. Now we can publish this session, and once published, the link to our session becomes available, along with the meeting ID and passcode. Let's jump into the recording session now. Down in the toolbar under More, we can find Recording Studio. From here, you'll see a list of everyone in the session. Select the participants you want to record. You can choose up to 10 here. Check them off and hit Confirm. Selected participants will see a notification letting them know Recording Studio is active. Zoom will also run a quick check for each participant. If someone doesn't have enough local storage, or maybe they're on an outdated Zoom client, you'll see a warning. They'll still be captured in the Cloud Recording, just not that local recording, so worth a heads up to all of your speakers. When you're ready, give your take a name and hit Start Recording. You can record up to 10 distinct takes in a single session. These takes can be used for scripted segments, just overall organization, or for switching out who is being recorded from take to take. These local recordings will be up to 1080p at 60 frames a second if the camera supports it. It's also a great idea to toggle on AI Companion. It will transcribe the session and generate a meeting summary for you. This can absolutely speed up the editing process. When the session ends, the upload process kicks off automatically. Each participant's local files are uploaded to the cloud. They'll see a progress indicator. If the upload gets interrupted, it'll pause and give them a resume option, or if it fails, Zoom will retry automatically at the next opportunity. So, even if someone closes their laptop immediately after the recording session, the files aren't lost. They'll upload when the connection comes back. Once everything's uploaded, head into Zoom Events and go to Recordings under Video Management. You'll see your studio recording session listed here. All of your files will be here. For the session, you'll see all available cloud recordings, along with each person's cloud and local recording organized by take. Select what you need, download, and hand off to your editor. That's it. If you're producing live sessions and need even more professional flexibility, Zoom ISO gives you isolated AV feeds of live participants. V3 is out in beta now.
