How-to Record, Edit, and Share a Lightboard Video (9:38)

Now that you've booked the Lightboard Studio, there are a few things you should do to prepare for your visit.

Get familiar with the Lightboard Studio guidance attached to this article.
Clothing Guidance:
- Don't wear lettering – it will appear backward.
- Do wear solid, darker colors - This makes the writing display more clearly in front of presenters.
- Don’t wear all black - you’ll look like a floating head. : )
If using PowerPoint:
- Set all backgrounds to BLACK.
- Place any graphics to the side of your dominant hand for easier annotation.
- Want help formatting your slide deck? Submit a DesignPro ticket here: http://cis.cmich.edu/designpro and the CIS Graphic Designer will format your slides for you! Be sure to clarify if you're right or left handed.

Write on the side of your dominant hand, then step to the side to instruct. Don't stand directly behind your writing while instructing if possible.
Don't press the markers too hard, it will make a sqeaky sound. Learn to write gently for a quiet presentation.
Look at the camera’s red light while instructing. This will help your viewers feel like you're talking directly to them.
If you make a mistake, DON'T STOP RECORDING. Just pause for a few seconds, take a breath, and start the segment again. Then afterward, use Panopto's web-based editor to remove/edit the mistake. It's easy and can be helpful for longer presentations. For shorter presentations, you may find it's just easier to do another take.
If using PPT, slides may be advanced during recording using the keypad next to the marker tray.
