Recording

Overview

• Begin by doing the following:
  • Open Google Slides file from your Lesson Edit page by clicking “Edit”**
  • Click File
  • Download as Microsoft PowerPoint (.pptx)
  • Open in PowerPoint
  • Verify all font spacing/sizing is correct. (Sometimes the transition from Google Slides can make things shift)

• In your browser, click the Screencastify extension
• Set to “Record Desktop” and ensure the correct microphone is chosen
• Click “Record”
  • Choose “Screen 2” or whatever screen you are projecting to record the External Monitor only.
  • It will then begin counting down from 3 (this can be adjusted in Advanced Settings).

Recording the Presentation

• Enter Slideshow mode using Presenter View
• You should have your notes on your screen and the presentation on the external monitor
• Give presentation using your notes and draw on screen with Wacom tablet
• Use command/ctrl+p to use pen tool, or select from the tool menu
  • Please use ‘blue’ color
  • Tip: hit command/ctrl p on each slide to have the pen ready, if you don’t and you click on your screen, you will have to restart the pen tool

What do I do if I make a mistake?

You have TWO options:

• Restart recording altogether (don’t recommend unless mistake made VERY early in the recording)

• Indicate the error for the video editor by doing the following
  • BE SILENT for 5 seconds — erase any writing on that slide
  • State “restart this slide”
  • CLAP TWICE
  • BE SILENT for *another* 5 seconds
  • Restart that slide as you had before
  • The “clap” creates an audio SPIKE in the middle of a silence, which tells the video editors that there’s something to be deleted.

Ending the Recording

• When you have finished your recording:
  • Click “Stop Sharing” at the bottom OR Navigate to browser, then
  • Click Screencastify icon, and click STOP (The recording will automatically open in your browser window)
• Click on the title of the video in the top left corner, then rename the video with the name provided by Curriculum Director *(should look something like this: vi-ob-02-05-maternal_risk_factors)* –

What do I do next?

• When you’re done with your video:
  • See the next lesson for exporting as MP4 and uploading to Frame.io (ALMOST DONE!)
