© 2011 Autodesk Understanding Video Earliest exposure to Video is the Flip Book Each picture is a frame. The flip tricks the eye into perceiving motion if the book is flipped fast enough Video is a collection of still images presented at speed. The images can have different sizes (resolution) and speed. These are called Codecs Digital Video is 29.7 Frames/Sec. Many Screen Capture reduce this to 15 Frames/Sec to reduce size of the video.

© 2011 Autodesk How Video will enhance your job  One picture is worth a thousand words. A video is worth more.  People that do not take notes always have the same issues come back with the same questions. These will have a new reference source.  Record presentations, formal training and Lunch & Learns.

© 2011 Autodesk How Video will enhance your job  When doing multiple presentations the video will insure uniform content delivery.  A Standards Library reference source. “How to do things to conform.”  Use video to practice and time your presentations. Even if not using the video this can be an aid in preparing and practicing the presentation for live delivery.

© 2011 Autodesk Use video editing techniques Editing is an art rather than a science. The last person to touch the video before it is seen is the Editor The choice of scenes, music and tempo sets the mood and improves the comprehension of the video. Proper editing will keep the audience’s attention, bad editing will lose the audience.

© 2011 Autodesk Building the On-Line Video Training Library 1. Determine the Video Codec appropriate to your company’s hardware. (File size and Speed) 2. Create a location on a server and standardize the directory structure. Advertise this location. Place links on Intranet Place in your signature Promote in Classes 3. IT departments are sensitive to bandwidth caused by streaming media, Advise viewers to copy videos to their computer before watching. 4. Keep a backup copy (for accidents)

© 2011 Autodesk Quick tips to produce quality video. Use Tight Shots – Don’t display the entire desktop application if a good close up will provide more information. This will improve the quality of the presentation, keep user interest up and save everyone’s eyes. Save and Save often. Video is fickle. The current editors are much more stable however if you don’t save you gamble in losing a lot of work. Record short scenes. Long recordings require more editing time.
