Video Recording Tips

• If you mess up in the tape, don’t pause the video—just pause in talking, clap to create a sound pop so the mess up is easy to identify by the editor, then repeat the sentence and keep going.

• Use a microphone if you can. 

• Record in a carpeted room with soft furniture if possible.

• Face a window for better light on your face but watch out for over-exposure

• Don’t record with a bright window behind you

Video Presentation Tools

• Format the presentation as wide screen for video

• You can use Powerpoint or Google Slides

Panopto
