See below guidelines for Video Recording using Yuja:
☐Prepare
transcript and PowerPoint slides, if required, in advance.
☐Review
both transcript and PowerPoint slides in advance of recording. This will limit
the amount of complex edits required after recording or need to re-record
fully.
Setting up Yuja Video
☐Stabilise
your device on a flat surface. Use a riser to bring your device or webcam up to
eye level, if necessary.
☐Position
yourself in the centre of the frame and look at the camera while speaking.
☐Choose
a plain neutral outfit that is in contrast with the background (avoid patterns
and light colours if the wall behind you is white)
☐A
Virtual background can be added to the video after it is recorded. If recording
a series of video, a consistent background will help with continuity.
Recording Equipment
☐Use
a headset with built in noise reduction.
☐Position the
Microphone at a comfortable distance from your month.
☐Do
a test recording. Adjust the microphone volume if required.
☐Position
the Microphone at the same distance each time you record.
☐Set
the Microphone volume to the same level each time you record.
☐Always
us the same headset on a project as changing recording devices will cause continuity issues.
Choosing a Place to Record
☐Record
when your space is quiet and outdoor noise is minimal.
☐Record
in a smaller space with sound-absorbing materials. Large
spaces increase echoing.
☐If
possible, avoid spaces with tile or wood flooring.
☐Add
sound-absorbing materials, such as soft window curtains, area rugs, or padded
furniture.
☐Choose
a room / space with a blank wall is preferred or green screen, if available.
☐Always
record in the same space room on a project as changing room will cause continuity issues
☐Conduct
sound check and echo test
