Producing a video presentation
Creating a highlights video presentation is a great way to share your event online. Edited from existing media, it can turn a PowerPoint lecture into a video that showcases the event’s highlights. As a BBC-trained freelance video producer, I shoot and edit high-quality films and short videos myself. In this case study, I explain how I created a popular video presentation commissioned by the NHS.
Systems leadership presentation
I was asked to deliver this second video after producing a separate video from this NHS workshop and learning day event. It had to feature a PowerPoint presentation on the Systems Leadership workshop Myron Rogers delivered. It was one of several training sessions which I had filmed during this NHS event at the Oval Conference Venue.
Editing with photographs and slides
Myron Rogers’s original Systems Leadership presentation ran over 15 minutes. To make this edit work, I asked Myron for a copy of the original PowerPoint presentation. I exported each slide as a graphic and imported it into Avid Media Composer.
Editing the PowerPoint presentation speech
To keep the final video as concise as possible, I edited down the available audio and video I had filmed. Over time, I reduced the presentation to just under eight minutes without losing any essential messages. With the main body of the edit in order, I then placed the PowerPoint slides. I painted in any remaining gaps with additional shots of the attendees I had filmed. After playing through the edit several times, I fine-tuned it and shortened it.
Feedback for the edit
When I was satisfied with the edit, I exported this second video and uploaded it to Vimeo. I sent a private link to both Myron and my client for their feedback. After some minor changes, the video was signed off and uploaded to YouTube.
Event organised by the Health Innovation Network together with the NHS London Leadership Academy and NHS Kent, Surrey and Sussex Leadership Collaborative.
