Record videos and photos from two webcam streams

Note: This feature requires RightBooth v7.9.3 (or later).

This article explains how to use RightBooth to create videos and photos by taking the camera feeds from two webcams and combining them into one file, as shown in the following demonstration video:
Step 1 - Setup the webcams
  • Obtain two webcams.
  • Make sure RightBooth is not running, then connect both webcams to USB ports on the PC.  In the demo video I am using a Logitech C920 and a Logitech C270.  Note: The webcams can be the same or different makes/models.
  • Run RightBooth.
  • In RightBooth Settings --> Cameras --> Main camera, select Webcam for both 'Record videos' and 'Take photos':

  • In Settings --> Cameras --> Webcam video, choose one of your webcams from the Device list to act as Webcam 1 and choose a Video size.  In my demo video I am using the C920 as Webcam 1.  To achieve the results shown in the video, choose a Video size of 1280 x 720:

  • In Cameras --> Webcam photo, select the same Photo size (1280 x 720):
Picture
  • Back in the Webcam video section, click 'Optional webcam 2' and choose your second webcam from the Device list, in my example this is the C270.
  • Select the same Video size:   1280 x 720
  • Tick 'Crop videos' and set the crop values W = 820,  H=720
  • Tick 'Rotate 90'.  Note that you will need to physically mount the second webcam at 90 degrees to achieve the result shown in the demo video:

  • Also for Webcam 2, in the Webcam photo section, select the same Photo size 1280 x 720, tick 'Crop webcam photos' and apply the same crop values  W = 820,  H = 720:
Picture
Your webcams are now set up to be used for Picture in Picture recordings.

Step 2 - Design your event
  • Create a video recording and photo capture event.
  • In Event Designer --> Event structure --> Miscellaneous, tick 'Picture in picture', then use the arrows to select the webcam layout option shown in this shot:

Choosing this option will cause RightBooth to overlay the camera feed from webcam 2 directly on one half of the camera feed from webcam 1.  The two feeds will then be treated as one combined feed for the purposes of recording videos and taking photos in RightBooth.

  • Go into the Screen Designer and arrange your screens and webcam item as required, making sure that your webcams are both pointing at your intended subject (or subjects):

  • Save the event.

​You are now ready to Play the event and record videos and photos from two combined webcams.

Note:
  • When recording videos, if you are recording audio, the audio feed will be taken from the audio device specified in Settings --> Cameras --> Webcam audio.
  • There a lots of other Picture in Picture layouts to experiment with, involving up to three additional webcams.
