Video presentation

The authors with published articles will present their contributions by recording a video of their expositions, i.e., oral or poster presentation. The video should include the voice of the author explaining the content of the paper by means of the same slides or poster used in a physical edition of the conference. The goal is authors can explain the contributions of their papers and share the contents with the rest of attendees.

In order to upload the video, the following requirements should be fulfilled:

        Maximum duration of 15 minutes.

        Maximum file size of 200 MB.

        Aspect ratio of 16:9 with minimum resolution of 720p (1280x720 pixels).

        The sound of the video has appropriate volume and can be understood.

        The format of the video file should be .mp4.

        The first slide with the title of the paper, all authors, and their affiliations.

We recommend that you structure the procedure of the video preparation in accordance with the following steps:


1. Record your presentation:

We recommend that you use the same slides or poster that you would be used in the physical edition of the conference and record an overlay voice explaining the content of the paper. In order to obtain a good quality video several features can be taken into account:

Presentation recording software

Many different widely available tools exist to record your screencast. For example:

        Zoom (Windows, Mac, Linux): Start a meeting where you are the only participant. Share the desired window that contains the presentation. On the additional options button, click on Record. When you end the meeting, the video will be exported on a new folder that contains the recorded screen in an .mp4 format.

        OBS Studio (Windows, Mac, Linux): Start a new scene with a Window Capture source. You can also include your webcam in a corner including another source Video Capture. You can now click the butting Start recording to start your screencast.

        MS Powerpoint (Windows, Mac): In the main menu, clicking on Slide Show > Record Slide Show will start the presentation mode and will include your voice as audio after finishing the presentation. You can then export the presentation as an .mp4 video.

Microphone

A good sound quality is very important to achieve a high-quality video. The use of an external microphone is recommended, as it usually provides a better quality than the integrated microphone of a laptop. Make sure that you record the video in a quiet room. Short tests recording the voice and playing this record are suggested in order to ensure a proper volume and quality of the audio.

Including speaker video in the presentation

In order to improve the quality of the presentation, a small window with a video of the author can be included.

In this case, the video should not cover any important part of the slides. The video results are also better if the camera is placed at the same height as eyes of the speaker. To have a clear image of the speaker, the face should be well illuminated. Most of the software platforms described in this section offer the option to include a video of the speaker.


2. Check the requirements:

You will not be able to submit the video if the requirements are not satisfied. In case your software allows for choosing of different codecs when selecting .mp4 as desired format, select H.264 for the video and AAC for the audio. If your video file has a size larger than the maximum of 200 MB, try using a plain white background for your slides, without animations.


3. Upload your video:

Videos should be uploaded using WeTransfer platform in accordance with the following instructions:

        Attach the video in .mp4 format. The name file should be the id of the corresponding paper.

        Indicate the following email address to upload the. mp4 file: videos@saaeivideos.org

        The content of the message should contain both the title of the paper and the id paper.

Video submission deadline: July 31st, 2020.

If you have any question concerning the upload process of the video, please contact with Grupo SAC, by the following email addresses: videos@saaeivideos.org and soporte@saaeivideos.org.
