Kaltura Capture for Creating Videos
For best results:
Plan
-
- Identify your goals
- Create a script and/or storyboard
- Prepare visuals and other supporting materials
- Consider time requirements - you may want to record longer, more complex processes as a series of smaller chunks
- Consider space requirements - are you recording at your desk or do you need to be in a lab, shop, or other physical space
- Rehearse to identify potential problems
Record the video / audio
-
- Schedule uninterrupted time in a quiet location
- Tidy up - hide or shutdown all unnecessary programs, toolbars, etc., ensure pop-ups (e.g. calendar reminders, email or Skype notifications) are turned off
- Use the best microphone available
- Record in segments, saving as you go along. That way, it is easier to re-record a small portion if there is an error.
- Use a script
- Speak clearly and concisely as if you were presenting directly to a class of students.
- Avoid quick changes or jerky movements; in particular, move the mouse methodically.
- Make sure relevant text is readable.
Post-production
-
- Use the trim and chop features as needed
- Upload attachments and/or captions
- Use the Timeline to create chapters to aid navigation and slides with supporting materials
- Use the quiz option to make the video more interactive
