Video Length and Format

The duration of any paper presentation video is 15 minutes.
Tool: ACM ICN 2021 will not recommend a specific video capture tool. Presenters can use various video conferencing tools or dedicated video recording software.
Video Resolution: the preferred resolution is 1080p/HD if possible but 720P is also acceptable. We do not require a specific bitrate, but we expect videos be of good quality (3000-10,000kb/s rate is good). Depending on the software you are using to record/edit the video, file size can vary, 150 MB - 1.5 GB per 15-minute presentation is good.
Presenter’s headshot: the presentation should show slide contents in the main area, with the presenter video in a smaller window (either picture-in-picture or other equivalent composition). Use head/shoulder composition for the presentation rather than larger view areas. Transitions from slides to speaker and back are acceptable when appropriate.
Background: use a plain static background for the presenter, either the speaker’s normal office setting, a solid color, or a static virtual background if a green screen is available. Do not use virtual backgrounds without a green screen, nor animated backgrounds due to the video artifacts that can be introduced.
Clothing: plain clothing in solid color (no prints, logos, graphics etc.) tend to give better quality results.
Videos in slide shows: do not include videos or fast-moving animations in the slide show material. If video is required please send it separately and will be shown after the slide presentation.
Language/images: please use care not to have any stereotypical or potentially offensive wording, images, or animations. These will be flagged during review and videos will have to be redone.
Subtitles: as the videos will be uploaded to the ACM YouTube Channel there is no need to worry about subtitles.
Video file name: before uploading your video file, please name it using the following naming convention:

{SID}-{presentation-order}-{presenter-last-name}.mp4

where

{SID} is your session ID (you can look for it in the program in the website) {presentation-order} is the order of your presentation in the session. {presenter-last-name} is the last name of the presenter. For instance, if you are the second (2) presenter in the third (3) session, the name of your file would be: 4-3-PresenterLastName.mp4.
Slides: The presentation slides file should be in PDF format using a similar naming convention:

{SID}-{presentation-order}-{presenter-last-name}.pdf
