0:00:09in this tutorial i will show how to create an effective engaging in professional looking
0:00:13video abstract entirely with the smart
0:00:18let's start with preparation
0:00:21first identify your key finding or take a message something that can be stated in
0:00:26one or two sentences your video abstract will be designed around the score idea
0:00:31next decide how you will convey your message select a structure that will get the
0:00:36viewers attention or raise their curiosity generally overweight of a near rigid structure and instead
0:00:43tell a story here are few ideas
0:00:46you might simply begin with the description of an interesting aspect of your work such
0:00:51as the unique ecosystem or unusual organism
0:00:55or you could start with a question or puzzle
0:00:58and have the answer unfold like a mystery novel
0:01:01generate a sense of curiosity that makes the bureau want to know how it will
0:01:05turn out
0:01:07or create a gap in the viewers mind about the topic
0:01:10by describing what is noted what is not known in you can explain how your
0:01:14work felt that
0:01:17or you may take a human interest approach and describe what motivated you to conduct
0:01:22the research perhaps you were cancer research or and lost someone to the disease or
0:01:27your work may have been stimulated by catastrophic events such as a hurricane
0:01:32next prepare a storyboard in script a storyboard is a visual sequence of steps describing
0:01:38scenes
0:01:39that will comprise your idea
0:01:41you're storyboard can be created and powerpoint more somewhere application here you will decide what
0:01:46footage and review still images animations or by the media well we used to tell
0:01:51each aspect of your story
0:01:53strive to use at least two types of media to make your video with visually
0:01:57interesting
0:01:58also prepared transcript of your of the idea which is helpful for colleagues who may
0:02:02not speak your language or who have trouble understanding your accent
0:02:11you can should editor and publisher video entirely with the smart phone or tablet that
0:02:16has a camera and that can support movie editing apps for mobile devices and using
0:02:20my phone for and i'm the for this tutorial
0:02:24here are some accessories that will help you film with the smart phone
0:02:28make a role apart with holder attachment for your phone can be used for stationary
0:02:33filming in your office
0:02:34laboratory for signal
0:02:36for action footage of yourself and colleagues
0:02:39and extendible modified such as i stabiliser works well
0:02:43you want to use a lapel microphone but need one designed for use with smartphones
0:02:47along with the compatible extension cable
0:02:53with this setup you can then easily fill in yourself demonstrating something in the field
0:02:58or laboratory or film yourself in your co authors
0:03:02discussing the study findings in an appropriate setting
0:03:06next she your video
0:03:09they don't yourself and corridors explaining your work
0:03:13get footage showing methods instruments and organisms
0:03:17used in your study
0:03:26you may want to film activities in scenes from different perspectives to had variety to
0:03:31your video
0:03:35you can also you still images of plants animals swells landscapes
0:03:40and experiments in my entire sequence is in your vad a
0:03:44use animations to illustrate concepts and the findings of your study
0:03:53he receives film to
0:03:56first you want to avoid backlighting by not something you're subject in front of the
0:04:00one that alternatively block the window and introduce white from the side
0:04:06if outdoors of weight filming at midday winged channels are difficult to avoid instead
0:04:12so on an overcast day
0:04:15trying like to from your subject against a blank wall
0:04:18blackboard whiteboard
0:04:21instead selectively review location with a simple but interesting backdrop
0:04:25and where there are no distracting movements in the background
0:04:29use the role of third step composure shots
0:04:32position in your subject recording to thirds is more visually pleasing and this approach can
0:04:37provide room for a picture in picture
0:04:41you can speak directly to the audience by maintaining eye contact with the camera lens
0:04:45or you can use an interview style approach in which the subject looks off camera
0:04:50which can produce some more natural or spontaneous affect
0:04:53it helps to have someone standoff camera and asking questions
0:04:57this can be edited out later
0:05:01in this section we going to show how to edit video abstract
0:05:04with them with the editing
0:05:06for the smart phone call i and movie
0:05:09to demonstrate
0:05:10i'm going to create a video abstract of the paper i publish previously and the
0:05:14journal
0:05:15global change biology i've already got the media files own i found
0:05:20and i'm going to follow a storyboard in script
0:05:23that i've prepared ahead of two
0:05:26first you want to download i will be from napster or
0:05:30you can do a search for it
0:05:33that store
0:05:34and once you located
0:05:36then you can download it and it will
0:05:40appear on your phone screen
0:05:43and we tap on it
0:05:44you will be presented with
0:05:47a screen looks like this
0:05:49and all of your projects are listed below and you can scroll through the
0:05:54to create a new project tap on the plus some idea new project
0:05:58and you will be presented with a when the
0:06:00that looks like this
0:06:02the upper panel is the browser window
0:06:04and it's where you will pu you met a preview project
0:06:08the lower panel is the project timeline in this where you're media will be dropped
0:06:12to build your video and the tools you will use or in the smaller boxes
0:06:16along the sides
0:06:18pick the thing you want for your video by selecting the
0:06:22settings button and the first one is the default called modern
0:06:26and it is very clean simple
0:06:29if you change that the it what then modify the look at the text the
0:06:32theme music and they transitions
0:06:36it's step starting with the paper title and citation i think all start with the
0:06:40film clip are recorded in which i talk about the plant community we study
0:06:45it was set the stage for the project
0:06:48to select media you tap the media browser button
0:06:52which opens you met your browser
0:06:54then selected at all on the bottom
0:06:56e and we'll the n c all the video clips stored in my image library
0:07:02and we can scroll through done to find the correct one
0:07:07and so on here it is at the top chapel to highlighted in yellow e
0:07:13and we can review it first by tapping on the button on the left
0:07:17and then we might want to add it i tap on the blue arrow and
0:07:21it drops into the time
0:07:24i contribute that's that the gain by tapping the play button and able play in
0:07:29the time
0:07:33i can expand or contract
0:07:35the clip with the pitch so gesture giving me a wider view of the number
0:07:40of frames in each class
0:07:42if i want to trend the clip them attempt to highlight then drag one of
0:07:46the handles at the end to the point where i want the clip to store
0:07:52and so now you can see that we've got a shorter segment of that initial
0:07:56plan
0:07:59next i want to add the title of the paper
0:08:01i'll tapped the media button
0:08:03then select photos
0:08:04this opens my photo library
0:08:06scroll and select the image intact but
0:08:09it drops right into the time
0:08:12i'm gonna at another photo
0:08:19once in the timeline i can change the timing of the photo by tapping
0:08:23and dragging the handles
0:08:25the same as for a video clip
0:08:28and so you can see the duration of the clip is increasing from
0:08:32four point nine seconds to twelve point one seconds
0:08:36i can't pitch just a or drag to a new position or at a can
0:08:40burns affected by setting different positions at the beginning and end of the clip
0:08:46and so the sets motion to the fatter
0:08:49to read text double tap the clip and the dialogue box opens so like title
0:08:54than opening title
0:08:56tap and the text box and the keyboard appears
0:08:59and all type in the title of the paper
0:09:12so like done in play to preview
0:09:18i think all at the location of this study to the opening footage but i
0:09:22don't want the text to appear over the entire clip
0:09:25so level split that the first to do this i select the clip
0:09:29and that's why my finger in the downward motion across the play head
0:09:34this is the p protocol on
0:09:39the clip is split and i can type in the location text
0:09:42on the first segment
0:09:44also like the middle text option and then tap the text box to open a
0:09:49keyboard
0:09:57and all type in
0:09:59mississippi river delta
0:10:04note here that i can change the volume of the audio on the slope
0:10:07with the scroll more
0:10:09or needed altogether by tapping this but
0:10:12some let's review
0:10:19you'll notice that there are these funny boxes between clips these are transitions
0:10:24and the icon show that the default transition is across does all
0:10:28double tap and information box opens
0:10:32we see that these transitions are one second in
0:10:35the length by default
0:10:36but we can change the duration
0:10:38or we can eliminate it by selecting no
0:10:42now the icon will show a vertical line
0:10:45indicating that it is now converted to occur transition
0:10:51now i want to explain a little bit more about these vegetation types and how
0:10:55this relates to air and c two picture so i'm going to use an animation
0:10:59so we're to go back to my
0:11:02video file
0:11:03and select an animation that i've uploaded
0:11:08and it drops into my time
0:11:11you can find such media in the public domain
0:11:15for example government sites such as nasa or you can create them yourself
0:11:22i need to do a voiceover for this but
0:11:25after first practising at the microphone button and then tap record
0:11:35it's important to be sure the play it is situated where you want the recording
0:11:39to begin
0:11:40there's a three second candidate
0:11:42then the recording starts
0:11:45we finished at the record button again
0:11:48we then have the opportunity to review
0:11:51retake
0:11:51except where discard the recording
0:11:54if excepted the audio file
0:11:57drops into the timeline it shows up as a problem bore
0:12:00we can double tap it to adjust the volume
0:12:11i will continue to add images the experiment and data and then record additional voice
0:12:17overs
0:12:22i created these images in powerpoint
0:12:24save them as photographs and then export it them to my that a library
0:12:31you can move clips of the timeline by pressing on them with your finger
0:12:34and dragged into a new position
0:12:37to remember clip
0:12:38drag it out of the timeline and released
0:12:43in the action can be undone by tapping the undo button
0:12:51a final i don't that might be at it is music i really provides a
0:12:55few jingles
0:12:56you can also applied other music but you must have a license for the video
0:13:00is to be polished
0:13:02tap on your selection and it will drop into the time one
0:13:06and it will show up as a green more
0:13:17now that my video abstract is finished
0:13:19let's export
0:13:21we go back to the marquee screen and
0:13:23tap the share button from here it can be exported directly to youtube or to
0:13:29other sites
0:13:33by sending the file t
0:13:35i teens you can then be transferred to my computer
0:13:39with the information i just presented you should be able to create a pretty good
0:13:44video abstract
0:13:45for a journal article
0:13:46by yourself is involving a smart phone or a tablet you should strive to keep
0:13:51it under five minutes in length
0:13:53but be sure to follow your journals guidelines in this
0:13:57it's that's to plan for video abstract
0:14:00while you're search is underway so that you can get useful video footage
0:14:04another necessary media
0:14:06but as my example shows
0:14:07you can still make a decent video abstract of a paper after the fact using
0:14:12photo montage as power point slides
0:14:15or media from the public domain
0:14:18to see the entire video abstract are used for the demonstration just click on the
0:14:22one
0:14:24i hope you will find this video tutorial helpful this is karen mickey this i
