Capturing Content in the Field - Step 4 - Fast in the Field

1. Capture Content Using Your Preferred Camera

• Use your phone’s native camera app or another camera of your choice
• Record the content you need using standard field practices

Benefits

• Faster capture in the field
• No need to wait for processing on your phone
• Flexibility to shoot multiple clips quickly

2. Follow Field Recording Best Practices

When capturing content:

• Shoot in landscape mode
• Use a microphone whenever possible
• Tap the screen to set focus on your subject
• Avoid digital zoom
  • Move closer physically instead
• Capture clear close-ups when needed

These steps ensure your content is usable for learning and easy to process later.

3. Keep Only the Best Takes

• Review your footage
• Delete unwanted clips
• Keep only clean, usable takes

This reduces editing time and improves overall quality.

4. Transfer and Organize Files

At the end of your shoot:

• Transfer files to your computer
• Save them in clearly named folders

Organizing your content makes uploading and managing modules easier later.

5. Upload to Content Connect

Once your files are on your computer:

• Upload them into On3 Content Connect
• Create modules and generate learning content as needed

You can upload content at any time when you are ready to process it.

6. Keep Your Content Simple and Effective

For faster, more effective shoots:

• Use bullet points to guide your content
• Avoid trying to be perfect
• Focus on sharing what you know clearly

7. Focus on Show-and-Tell

• Point the camera at what you are explaining
• Provide clear, close-up views when needed
• Being on camera is optional

In many cases, content is more effective when the focus stays on the subject rather than the speaker.

Key Takeaways

• Use your phone or camera app for faster field capture
• Follow basic recording best practices
• Keep only your best footage
• Organize files before uploading
• Upload and process content later in Content Connect
• Focus on clarity, not perfection
