Presentation Guidelines<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We are asking authors of papers and pictorials to prepare a pre-recorded video of their presentation. By using pre-recorded videos, we can minimize potential tech-related issues, ensure correct captioning, and provide a seamless transition between talks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Summary<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
  1. Record your video using MP4, MKV, or AVI file formats.<\/li>
  2. The video length is five (5) minutes for all papers and pictorials.<\/li>
  3. Generate a subtitles file using the SRT format. Do not encode subtitles into the video. You will upload the subtitles as a separate file. This is important for accessibility.<\/li>
  4. Submit your video and caption files to PCS.<\/li>
  5. Attend the Session and Live Q&A. Following each pre-recorded talk, we will have a few minutes for live Q&A, and we ask that at least one author be present during the allocated time for questions. Please contact us if there is a conflict. The conference agenda with the schedule for each presentation will be shared soon.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Presentation Details<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    You can find detailed presentation information below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Record Your Video<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    We recommend a full-screen presentation format for your content (slides, demos, etc.) with a picture-in-picture speaker view. Still, you are welcome to explore alternative formats that are engaging and allow the audience to see the speaker and the content. We suggest using a high-quality microphone and record with a minimally-distracting background for the best quality. “Busy” slides with patterns or small images can show compression artifacts when streaming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Duration<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The length of your video must be at most 5 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Software<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    There are a variety of software tools available for recording and editing your presentation. Complete commercial solutions include Camtasia and Screen flow, among others, but some free options include: Zoom, Open Broadcaster Software (OBS), and Wondershare Filmora.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Formats<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Please record your video in a common file format such as .mp4 or .mkv.  The resolution should be 1080p or better for optimal streaming quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Generate a Corrected Subtitles File<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    We are asking each presenter to submit a video caption file (SRT file) along with the video itself. An SRT file or SubRip (.srt) file is a common type of raw closed caption format or subtitle format.  You should not encode captions onto your video, but we do ask presenters to manually review the separate SRT file and make any corrections to the captions before submitting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    You may use any means of generating an SRT file that you wish, but we strongly suggest following the instructions for using YouTube\u2019s free service for automated transcriptions<\/a>. The linked document was prepared by the CHI 2021 Accessibility Chairs team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Submit Your Video and Captions File<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Once you have your finished video and captions files, you will upload the files to PCS using camera-ready form for your submission in PCS. We will stream the videos during your session time at the conference and the videos will be added to the SIGCHI Youtube channel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Prepare your Files<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Name your finished video: PaperID#-PresenterLastName.mp4. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Name your SRT caption file PaperID#-PresenterLastName.srt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
