> QUALITY STANDARDS

a- Video

  • It must show only the oral communication, without the discussion or any additional section.
  • The resolution should be at least 1280x720 at 16:9 dimension, and can be larger but not smaller.
  • Video file formats mov, mp4 and avi are accepted.
  • It must be free of digital artefacts or glitches, also free of  distracting or erratic camera movement. A tripod should be used for filming.
  • The video composition must contain the background image, the speaker frame and the slide frame,  fully synchronized with the audio track of the speaker
  • Video must completely fill the frame. No black borders should be visible.
  • Cannot be less than 10 minutes or exceeding 40 minutes in total length (Leave at least three seconds of silence at the beginning and the end of the video). 

  • The filename should contain the SIN number, and should be named “video # SIN".

b- Audio

  • No voice should be more audible and understandable other than the speaker voice.
  • Background noise must be kept to a minimum and should not affect understanding of the speaker.
  • Quality and volume levels of the speaker voice should remain relatively consistent.
  • Voice should be free of distortions.
  • No music should be added.

c- Text, Images and graphics

  • Text, tables, images or graphics shown in the slide frame should be legible and clear enough for audience to visualize the content.
  • Author must certify that text, tables, images and graphics shown in the slide frame are legally used.
  • The video should begin with the title slide and close with the credit slide.
  • Subtitles can be added; however, adding subtitles will not exempt audio from meeting our audio quality standards.

NOTE: AcademyOn should not have to add the audio track or your slides to your videos. To request AcademyOn's editing services please contact us.

> REJECTED VIDEOS

AcademyOn reserves the right to reject outright any video it feels would be unsuitable for the content of AcademyOn. Reasons for this may include, but are not limited to:

  • The video is significantly of poor audio and/or video quality.
  • The video contains less than 10 minutes or more than 40 minutes length.
  • The presentation file contains less than 10 slides.
  • Poor quality of the slides.
  • The speaker talk and the presentation content are not consistent.
  • The author has not been able to certify that text, tables, images and graphics shown in the presentation slides are legally used.
  • The video content did not fit within the editorial policies of the journal.
> BEST PRACTICES
  • Place your camera still with tripod to film a medium close up shot of the speaker.
  • You can also use a second camera for a wide shot showing the slide show screen and the speaker. This would be very useful when editing your video.
  • Record the speaker voice using an omnidirectional Lavalier microphone plugged on the camera or on a separate audio recorder device (don’t use the audio recorded by the microphone built into cameras or computer).
  • After generating your video file, remember to watch before submitting.
