Camera

Any HD camera makes good enough pictures

And then there is sound!

Built in microphones are not good enough

Camera MUST have microphone jack

Longer Life Batterythe battery that comes with your camera will probably only run about one hour. Be sure that longer running batteries are available before you buy.

Camera Cards A 32G card will record about 5 hours of High definition video

Class 4 is supposed to work, but class 10 will be much faster to transfer to your computer

The Hardest PartGetting Good Sound

Camera mics just don't cut it

Listen to a few Youtube videos

Options – Best to Worst1. Feed from the sound system Except when presenter decides to NOT use the microphone. Some rooms

have audio for the press on the back wall or in floor boxes.

2. Microphone on the presenter Problems: several presenters require several mics or they have to swap

them. Audience questions are missed or poor quality

3. Microphone Near the presenter Works well if you are allowed to place the mic near the presenters.

3. Shotgun microphone on cameraFrequently pointing at speaker, not presenter, works best

Use wireless feed from microphone on tripod in front of speaker. If close to speaker use standard mic

LAST RESORT!

EDITING

Add a title at the start Fade in Choose logical start and end pointsStart recording before the event start then trim the unwanted portion

before. Same for after the end of the event

Produce final versionVideo editors don't really change your original recording, instead they

accumulate a list of your edits, fades and their location.

Making a new copy of you video WITH those changes applied is called rendering and produces the final output video format.
