MarketScale offers a handy recording tool so you can record yourself or your screen right from your desk.
To use Record, first log in to MarketScale. Then click Record in the toolbar:
The platform will automatically open a recording module after a brief loading screen.
NOTE:
If you're using Record for the first time, make sure your browser is configured to allow for the use of your camera and microphone. MarketScale is designed to work in any browser, but Google Chrome works best. Here's how to adjust your site settings permissions in Chrome. Google Chrome will typically pop up a notification in the top left of your browser window if it needs your permission.
The command menu for the Record tool is at the bottom center of the module.
From left to right, it contains:
Microphone selector.
Camera selector.
Start recording.
Virtual background selector.
Screen selector.
Teleprompter.
Using the command menu, select the microphone and camera you want to use to record your media.
If you're recording your screen instead of your camera, use the screen selector to indicate which window or screen you want to record.
Now that you've selected your video and audio sources you can Start recording.
After a brief countdown, your recording will start. You can follow the length of your recording using the timer on the bottom left of the module. Once you finish your recording, click Stop recording to proceed to review.
NOTE: you cannot stop and start your recording, so record it in one long take! This is a best practice for video production. Don't worry about getting it perfect, while leaving the recording running you can (re)start and stop as much as you need to. Focus on saying everything you want to say the way you want to say it. With editing on MarketScale you'll be able to direct us to cut out the parts you don't like.
Now that you've finished your recording, the platform will give you the opportunity to watch it for review. Click Submit to complete your recording and automatically upload it to MarketScale for review.
NOTE: If you prefer, you can delete your video and start again by clicking X to the left of Submit. If you choose to delete the recording, you cannot recover it. Remember, you can always cut out the bad parts, so it's probably best to keep your recording unless there is a very compelling reason to delete it!
To confirm your record and save it, complete the quick form that pops up:
Name your recording.
Add a tag.
Select who should approve your recording - when in doubt, choose yourself.
Click Submit video at the bottom right of the modal.
Congratulations, you've successfully saved your recording! Once your media is saved, you'll receive a modal titled Record confirmation.
