Questions, Comments and Feedback
- Collect your video footage in the highest resolution that your equipment will allow. For content suggestions or interviewing advice, contact Branson Moore in the School’s communications office.
- Edit your video to a reasonable viewing length – generally 20 seconds for a testimonial and 1-2 minutes for a marketing piece. You can make a 5-10 minute video, but it is unlikely that it will be watched in its entirety by most people. Longer videos (1-2 hours) are all right for lectures and conferences.For a consultation about taping, editing or producing your video, contact O.J. McGhee or Tom Laney, in the School’s Information and Instructional Systems unit.
- Choose a web-friendly, native format. Supported formats include .mov, and .mpeg4. Do not use Windows Media (.wmv). For consultation on formats, contact O.J. or Tom.
- Name the video, using the following file-naming convention: dept_lastnameofmainpersoninvideo_year. Do not use capital letters or spaces.
- Save the video on a flash drive.
- Bring the flash drive to Branson Moore (125 Rosenau Hall), who will post it on the School’s YouTube channel. Email him the following information:
- File name (#4 above)
- Title to display on YouTube – Keep it short and meaningful for people searching.
- Description – About 278 characters and spaces display on the YouTube page. Any more will require the viewer to click on “more info.”
- Meta-tags – keywords that people might use when searching for your video – e.g., UNC, Gillings, health, global, water, disparities, obesity
