Recording Process

1. Pre-Recording Guidance

Before they begin recording, tell them that if they make a mistake and would like to redo, the process is the same for every time this might happen: Pause at least 5 seconds, then redo the current slide entirely not the entire presentation(We can trim out the rerecorded areas in Panopto in post-production.)

2. Start Recording
  1. Press the On button under record on the right upper area of the switcher. [Insert picture here]
  2. Every 10 seconds or so, OR at a natural break when the presenter pauses, and/or changes the slides, press the Auto button on the switcher. This will switch the combined recorded feeds from one input to the other. (Pressing Auto is a toggle which will switch between the two input feeds each time pressed, and will transition smoothly, for the amount of time shown above the Auto button on the switcher. The input shown in red square is what is currently being shown in the combined feed and the green square is what will be switched to next when pressing Auto.) In addition to the combined mp4 being recorded, the ATEM switcher is also recording the individual HDMI input feeds. (More on using these in post-production later)
  3. When the presenter ifinished recording press the Stop button under record on the switcher [Insert picture here]
  4. Review the recording before presenter leaves (see how in next set of instructions) 
3. Review the Recording Using the Studio Mac Computer
  1. Click on Finder 
  2. Click on ATEM Mini Pro ISO 
  3. Double-click on A033 – do not unplug this drive from the switcher. It can damage the recording.
  4. Locate the folder for that day  
  5. Double-click on the file called recordallinputs 01.mp4 
  6. To view inputs recorded separately, expand the Video ISO Files folder and double-click on the files that look like: recordallinputs CAM 1 01.mp4 and recordallinputs CAM 2 01.mp4
  7. Upload all three of the files mentioned above to OneDrive folder (location TBD)Ellen or Lorraine will then put these files into Panopto as one file and complete any requested edits (such as simple trimming) in the Panopto editor and make it available to the faculty member.
