Before creating a recording, make sure you have /wiki/spaces/54/pages/590217396 EchoSystem Personal Capture and configured the /wiki/spaces/54/pages/590217426.
Now you can prepare and distribute a Personal Capture recording in three to six phases. The first four are these:
At this point, you have captured a learning moment, but you may want to /wiki/spaces/54/pages/590217398 the capture. You will certainly want to /wiki/spaces/54/pages/590217399 to the EchoSystem Server (ESS). Once it is published, the media will be processed and prepared for student viewing.
During the capture, we recommend that you use the keyboard shortcuts for pause, resume, and stop. Using shortcuts to pause/resume the capture allows you to hide your on-screen actions (that you will, most likely, want to cut out in the editor). The shortcuts are provided below.
Action | Keyboard Shortcuts |
---|---|
Pause the recording | Command + 6 |
Resume the recording | Command + 6 |
Stop the recording | Command + 8 |
Before beginning a recording, we recommend that you close (or at least minimize) all applications and windows except for Personal Capture and any applications you will use during the recording. The recording will be less cluttered and more professional looking. |
Enter a title for the recording.
We recommend entering a descriptive title that will help you remember the content when you see it in the My Recordings list. You can change the title when you publish the recording. |
Although the audio device check box is grayed, it is selected by default. Your voice will be recorded. |
With everything set, we'll now start capturing your learning moment.
The Recording screen minimizes and a countdown timer appears.
If you are using two high definition cameras, the recording may abort at this point. This means that your computer may not have enough power to process the flood of data from both cameras. You have these alternatives:
|
The Pause Capture and Resume Capture buttons allow you to stop a capture at any time, turn your attention elsewhere, and then resume the capture. You might use these buttons when any of the following situations occurs:
You can pause a capture for up to 15 minutes. After that, you are prompted to either continue or stop the capture.
We strongly recommend that you use the keyboard shortcuts for pause, resume, and stop. If you do not use the shortcuts, your capture will include screen actions that you will have to cut out in the editor. Memorize the keyboard shortcuts. |
Certain actions will terminate your recording. These include shutting your laptop, logging out of your computer, and changing USB devices. If any of these events occur, your capture will be saved but not published.
When you are finished with your recording use the keyboard shortcuts (recommended) or the Personal Capture user interface to stop the capture.
To use the user interface commands, click on the Echo360 icon and select Stop Recording, as shown in the figure below.
