 If you are planning to incorporate a video clip into your production, the format must be AVI, MPEG or

MOV. If you need to convert your clip to one of these formats, consider using Freemake Video Converter

(http://www.freemake.com/free_video_converter); you can install it for free on your own Windows

computer or use it in the SCS Lab. Keep in mind that locating and converting videos can be surprisingly

time consuming. Make sure you do this before your Studio appointment.

 If you grab a video clip from YouTube, save it in MPEG4 format rather then H.264 (if you do this in the

Studio, we can help). H.264 clips have proven to be unstable in AVC.

 Consider using a web-based teleprompter—such as cueprompter.com or easyprompter.com—to

practice reading your script. When you record, you will use the teleprompter built into AVC; but in

practice, these web-based tools can help you become more comfortable with reading from a

teleprompter without looking like you’re reading from a teleprompter. Think about what you might say

or do to fill time should you get too far ahead of the script.

 AVC will display your script in lines of 25-30 characters, by default. If you create your script in a word

processor, consider setting wide margins to mimick AVC and show your text in 25-30 character lines.

Consider breaking your lines at punctuation marks, where the anchor might naturally pause.

 Consider adding your script to the teleprompter, determining the desired scroll speed, and adding all

necessary line breaks and spaces BEFORE adjusting the positions of the action trays. Last minute

changes to the script can necessitate many time-consuming action adjustments. Also, make sure that

the anchors are involved with configuring the script, since ultimately it is their comfort level that will

determine the best settings.

 The amount of disc space required for a 20-minute AVC production will vary depending on your content.

But even the most basic project will likely require 800MB for the production files and 50MB for the

published WMV video. In theory, this will fit on your H drive (i.e., your network storage space), but that

won’t leave you with much “breathing room.” Thus, we recommend that you use an external USB flash

or hard drive with at least 2GB of available space.

 An SCS staff member will be standing by during your Studio session to advise and instruct as needed;

however, SCS cannot do any of the work…after all, this is a graded assignment.

 It is crucial that your talent (i.e., those who will be on camera) not wear green or white clothing or

accessories; otherwise, you will find it nearly impossible to achieve a realistic green screen effect.
