I am a freelance videographer and I am researching methods of live video streaming. I want to offer my clients, some of whom are entertainers and event promoters, the ability to stream events, and on-demand recordings, and also to control access to them. In other words, I need the flexibility to stream on my own Livestream platform or some other platform and have it be protected. The basic Livestream platform only supports fully public streams and recordings.
I have a computer fully equipped to perform live streaming, but I have not set up the services associated with it (except for the Basic Livestream platform)
I have an Adobe Flash Live Media Encoder installed as part of the Livestream Studio desktop application for multi-camera productions. I also have a Teradek Vidiu - a camera-top unit that allows me to stream via WIFI or hard-wired internet on remote shoots without a computer. Finally, I also have a subscription to Adobe Creative Suites 2014.
Two days ago, I streamed an event live for the first time using Livestream, and it was a success! However, it was mainly an experiment to test my equipment and the quality of the video stream. And because the stream was public, there was no way to charge the viewers for watching. Livestream does offer the services that I think I need to control access to my video streams - password protection, viewer login, pay-per-view, etc., but they charge a very high Enterprise level fee that is inaccessible to a lone operator like myself. So I am looking for alternatives.
I also came across something called WOWZA, to which I have a trial account, but I know nothing about how to use.
The Adobe Live Flash website led me to Amazon, and here I am. I already had an Amazon.com account, so it was easy to create an AWS account. But I have no idea what I am doing here. I see all sorts of Amazon web and cloud services, but I seem to have lost any links or references to live media streaming, which I originally set out to do.
