Quick video

• Capture an entire performance (5 to 10 minutes)
• Break at the end of each performance and start another clip
• Nothing removed by editing.
• The ends are clipped to show only the performance

But what about a presentation that lasts an hour?

• Don't waste time posting an hour of video.
• The presenter is probably speaking from a set of bullet points. 
• Break at each bullet point and post each point separately.
• Common estimates of attention span range from 10 to 20 minutes.
• Tell presenters you get better video if they stop for questions after each bullet point.

Resources

Do most of the editing while recording

• Break at the end of a presentation, restart just before the next presentation.
• You rarely want to edit the middle of a presentation
• And you already have performance clips.
• You will want to adjust the start and stop of the clip:  
• Shotcut makes that easy.
