Pace Online Graduation: Recording with Zoom

Hello Pace Online Commencement Speakers!

We are asking speakers to record their speeches for the Pace Online graduation website. This will be a public website, so you are consenting to the publication of your video by participating. Please email us your video by Friday, May 2nd.

Please record your speech in Zoom. Please review these Zoom settings before you hit record:

  • Video: Select “HD;” use Zoom’s “Clips” tool to make a quick video.
  • Recording: use “Local Recording” so you can easily upload the file to our Dropbox or Google Drive (paceolc@gmail.com).
  • Lighting: If you have a ring light or desk lamp, use it in addition to other room lighting. Face toward a window, if you can, but definitely don’t turn your back to one!
  • Sound: Try your best to eliminate background noise.
  • Framing: To eliminate distortion, your camera should be at the same height as your nose. If you have a laptop, try resting it on a box.
  • Edits: No editing necessary! We will broadcast your speech as if you are delivering it live. However, Pace staff will trim the beginning and end of your file. Don’t worry about an awkward start or finish!
  • Questions? Or would you like remote assistance? Reach out to Pace staff at OLC@pace.edu. We’re happy to help!

Delivery

When you have finished your recording, please share your file with the Pace Online team with either Google Drive (paceolc@gmail.com) or Dropbox (paceolc@gmail.com). Thank you!

Please reach out to Online Learning Center staff at OLC@pace.edu if you have any questions. Good luck!

  • – OLC Student Assistant AJ has published the first three episodes of his video podcast, How to Be A College Superstar (find it on our YouTube channel). Congrats on developing a set of great interviews, and for experimenting with a new studio configuration.

Production Tip of the month:We can use Panopto to add an additional audio track. The purpose is to describe what is happening in the video for visually-impaired people. See for example: https://adp.acb.org/ad.html
