Would you like to video record your lectures or guest speakers? Would your department like to record a video advertising what they do? With today’s technology, videos can be made easily and quickly. Here are the steps to follow if you want to record a video at Dalton State:
- If you are recording a documentary video or marketing video, be sure to create a list of the scenes and what will be included in each scene. There are several free “Storyboard” sites on the Internet you can use to create your scenes and script.
- If you do not have your own camera, you can check out the library’s digital camera and tripod with your Road Runner card.
- Record the videos by simply pressing the record button to start and stop each recording. It is best to record “too much” since you can always chop off the beginning or end of each video.
- Edit the videos and put them together in one video. For this part you can download a free video editing program (Shotcut and Kizoa are popular choices) or you can come to the computer lab in Brown room 303 and use Windows Movie Maker. We can help you with editing the video in Movie Maker but you should email first to make sure the lab is available.
- Upload the video to YouTube or to your free Microsoft Stream account. Both YouTube and Microsoft Stream create automatic captions which are now required for all public videos. We can help you with captioning if you need assistance.
