3-minute tutorial: play clips from an S3 bucket and record your show back to it (open source, browser-based)

We made a short walkthrough of two features in Open Live, an open source live production system that runs in the browser: https://youtu.be/4KRzUsQ6RFI?si=j0Cj49S3E2TV0CRM
The idea is one bucket that works both ways. You connect any S3-compatible storage once, clips come in from it, and the recording goes back out to it. No playout server, and no copying files off a recorder after the show.
The video shows three steps:
- Connect the bucket with an endpoint, keys and a role (clips, recordings or both), then test the connection.
- Play a clip. Browse the bucket and add the clip as a mixer input. Cue it, press play on preview, then take it to air already running. Taking the clip to air doesn’t start it, so you choose when it rolls.
- Record the show. Add a recording output. Each production gets its own folder in the bucket, and the finished recording can be reused as a clip.
