The One Button Video Studio is a simplified, automated video recording solution for recording short studio style lectures, practicing or pre-recording conference presentations or speeches, recording in front of a green screen, or recording an in-person interview. The studio is designed to run with minimal staff support and minimal configuration, and requires no prior experience with lighting, sound, or video production. With the One Button Video Studio, you can also integrate PowerPoint slides and a variety of custom or pre-defined graphic materials.
Bring two flash drives, one to store your recording and a separate flash drive containing your PowerPoint if you plan to use one.
Select the clothing that you will wear. If you are using anything that requires the green screen functionality (including backgrounds and PowerPoint presentation integration), choose solid colors over patterns and avoid green and gray. Practice your presentation before scheduling an appointment.
Most recommendations on video for learning include keeping videos short - between five and fifteen minutes - with multiple short videos as opposed to a single long video. Other than this recommendation, the One Button Video Studio allows you to record as long as you would like, within the capacity of your flash drive. On average, ten minutes of video requires 1 GB of storage.
In addition to this requirement, typical flash drives can only save individual files of up to 4 GB, which limits you to approx. fourty minutes of continuous recording. If you need a longer video, your flash drives will need to be formatted properly (exFAT).
One Button Video Studio provides out-of-the-box functionality. You are not required to edit your videos. If you do need to edit them, and you use a Mac, we recommend using iMovie.
If you use a PC, consult The best free video editing software in 2021 for options.
