Instructions for pre-recorded video
We are aware that each of you may have a different idea on how best to engage your audience, and you are welcome to exercise your own creativity and choice provided you adhere to the minimum expectations outlined below that are intended to ensure a level of uniformity and consistency across all recorded presentations.
Please arrange your recorded video as:
-
A brief introduction on a web cam, followed by
-
A voice over slides presentation
You are quite welcome to enrich your recording while meeting this basic expectation. For instance, you may include a video of the presenter in the corner of the slides, use animations to illustrate the concepts that underlie the work,and include demonstration videos of practical implementations. We will also understand if you would prefer not to include the brief on-camera introduction.
We are also aware that each of you may have a different idea on the optimal duration of a pre-recorded video for the purposes of engaging online attendees with your work, and we are also happy to offer you some flexibility to select the length.

Tools for preparing the video:
You can prepare your video using any recording and editing tool that will produce an output that will meet the above specifications. One simple way to record the presentation would be to use a video conferencing tool to record the content displayed by your computer screen and your voice recorded by the computer microphone, or an external microphone. In that way, you can show your face via webcam and display your slides as you talk. You can use any meeting software, as long as you get a good quality recording and your final file is in the MP4 format. Based on our experience, we recommend the use of Zoom, but the choice is yours. You may wish to edit the video after having recorded it. Here are some links to instructions on recording a meeting on common platforms:
-
Google Meet: Record a video meeting – Meet Help
-
Microsoft Teams: Record a meeting in Teams – Office Support
-
For Authors located in China who are unable to access Zoom for free, the free software OBS allows you to simultaneously capture yourself while speaking and your slides: https://obsproject.com/. You can also use the two-step method: Create Voice Over Power point and convert to MP4
Slides/Poster Specifications:
Please also submit a single-page PDF suitable for printing on a 3′ x 4′ or 4′ x 3′ paper. For papers in poster
presentations, if we need to exercise the fall-back option, this PDF will be printed on the specified size paper and posted on the posterboard along with a QR code that connects attendees to the video presentation. To save some time, you may simply choose to layout your presentation slides (or a subset of those) in the single-page PDF. But do ensure that any text will be legible and the key aspects you are highlighting in plots/images will be visible at the indicated size.
