File Sizes, Naming, Types, and Storage

Recording Size

Use 1280 x 720 if capturing on a desktop monitor. Use 1278 x 720 if capturing on a laptop.

Resolution

Exported videos should be at least 720 HD quality.

File Naming Conventions

  • Use the following format for naming completed videos: CAS/Product_Topic_Month Year_Version (i.e., draft, final, etc.).
    • If updating a video, add _Updated Month Year after the Version (e.g., AAPI_CAS 3.X Overview_June 2020_FINAL_Updated July 2020).
  • If a video is not final, DRAFT should be included as part of the file name.
  • If a video is final, FINAL should be included as part of the file name.
  • Use underscores instead of spaces.
  • Limit topic description in the file name to 3–5 words when possible (e.g., AAPI_CAS 3.X Overview_June 2020_FINAL_Updated July 2020).
  • Date should correspond to the expected deadline release date.

Storage Best Practices

  • Camtasia projects must be compressed and uploaded to the Videos folder on SharePoint. To compress the project files:
    • On a Windows PC, use the Export Zipped Project feature.
    • On a Mac, use the Save As feature.
    • To transfer across platforms, use the Export Project for Windows/Mac feature.
  • All final edited MP4 videos must be uploaded to the Videos folder on SharePoint.
  • Create an Archive folder in the SharePoint folder where the video lives to store older versions of the video.
