Dear students,
Let’s take a look at one of the ways
how you can make a video presentation for your teachers.
If you have a laptop with a camera,
or you have a webcam connected to your computer,
you can use PowerPoint
and it‘s video recording function directly.
Open your PowerPoint presentation,
select
Presentation and Record presentation.
You will get into a black window
and see your image below.
According to the teacher's requirements,
please record what’s needed,
someone wants a cutout,
someone needs to see your gestures
as you speak,
so you need to step back a little.
Once you're ready,
select Record
and now you're talking directly to each slide.
Say the essential things
that need to be said.
At the end, you will find
that the video was added directly to your presentation.
Because
some teachers need to see your gestures as well,
it's good to know
that you can now work with that video.
You can enlarge it,
even crop it, edit it in general.
It's a good idea to prepare the slides so that,
for example, you have headlines
somewhere outside the video area
so that the text is readable.
Edit your videos
so that they are clearly recognizable.
Then choose File,
Save As,
and select MPEG-4 Video from the menu.
Choose Save.
At the bottom a progress bar will appear,
where you will see that your video is being exported.
It could take hours.
So I recommend not leaving these tasks to the last minute,
as you could miss the deadlines.
As soon as the video is exported,
upload it
to the teacher's Depository.
If you do not have a camera or a webcam,
you can use smart phones,
either your own or borrow from someone,
and record those slides directly with yourself
and then submit this video again to the teacher's Depository.
Then don't forget to create
an HTML5 video player,
using the operation on the right.
Leave the settings as they are
and click Create.
An icon appears next to the video file
as it queues for conversion.
It will take a while for the video to process.
This way it is ready for evaluation by your teacher.
