Media Creation Suite

The Video Room was proposed by the Librarians, created by Revolution Lightboards, and funded by a grant from the Dubuque Racing Association. The video system is set up for two touch recording (one touch to record and one touch to stop), but also has the flexibility to customize backgrounds or add in a PowerPoint presentation with minimal effort. Users who want to take it further can take advantage of the green screen background to further customize their video. 

Step 1: Turn on the lights.

• The light controller is to the right as you enter the room.
• Turn on both light switches and press the On button on the controller. 

Step 2: Make sure the system is ready to record.

• Does the monitor look like this, but with your face?

Yes? – Awesome, just one more thing to check
No? – Grab someone from the Library Services Desk to help you

 

• Does the controller on the presenter podium look like this?

Yes? – Awesome, you are good to start recording
No? – Press the Home button in the upper right-hand corner 
If that doesn’t fix it, grab someone from the Library Services Desk to help you

 

Step 3: Press Record (the upper-leftmost button) and start talking.

Step 4: Press Record again to stop recording.

Step 5: Press the upper middle button to review your video.

• Watch your video and decide if it’s good enough or if you need a second attempt 

Step 6: Save your recording and leave the room.

• Once you have a video you want to save, use either upload it to an online dropbox or save it to a flash drive
• You can plug your flash drive in on the monitor podium!
• All files are deleted at midnight so make sure you save the correct file!
• Close any documents or folders you opened and take out your flash drive
• Make sure the door is closed and locked and return the key to the Library Services Desk
• Turn off the lights on your way out the door!
