1 1 What s Up with Kaltura? 2 Using Kaltura to Demonstrate Your Graphics Project Kaltura is a web-based screen-recording application. OSU owns a site license to it, which means that all students and staff can use it for free. We will use it so that you can show off your great project without you and I having to be sitting together. You don t need to use this video as a way to explain your report. I will read the report to get that information. Use this video as a way to show what it looks like when it runs. Show off all the required features. Show off anything you have done that is extra and cool. Mike Bailey mjb@cs.oregonstate.edu If you have a microphone, use it! It is easier for me to figure out what your features do if you are telling me. This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International License To finish grading each project, I will watch a lot of these videos. Have mercy on me and keep your video short. Show me all your different program features, but once you have demonstrated a feature, move on to the next one.

I like hearing you talk about your own stuff. If you have a webcam, feel free to include your talking-head as well. If you pick Full Screen, a Record button will be there. Select Record, and a countdown will start. When it gets to zero, you are now recording. If you pick Select Area, Kaltura will allow you to drag a region of the screen to record and then will launch into the countdown. 4

Other Things You Should Know: You can link and embed your video in your own web pages. Click on your video to play it. Underneath the video, there's a "Share" button. Clicking this button gives you options for: "Link to Media Page", "Embed", and "oembed". 28 Copy and paste this text into your HTML After you leave OSU, your material stays right here on OSU s MediaSpace. Apparently we don t have any retention rules for now. However, that could always change, so you should be sure to save a copy of your best videos somewhere else. 7

8 Other Things You Should Know: 29 You can download your MediaSpace video as an MP4 file by clicking the "Edit" button for the corresponding video in "My Media". This is helpful if you want to let people download it and play it locally. On this page, the "Edit" page, you will find a variant of the regular player, called the Edit Player". This player has a download button on it. Pressing this button will bring up a dialog box which will let you save the video as an MP4 file. 8
