| Abstract | In this paper, we present our experiences using our image processing toolkit
ChalkBoard and other video processing tools to post-process a pre-recorded
conference talk. With inexpensive video cameras, video services like youtube.com
and vimeo.com, and widely available and inexpensive video editing software, we
expect this new media to be increasingly used as a mechanism to both promote
research agendas and deliver technical content. In order to explore the use of
such media in more detail, the Functional Programming group at KU recorded a
technical talk and experimented with various post-processing tricks to enhance
the value of the talk. Specifically, we fixed a common lensing issue in software,
added small animations and pictures which matched the gestures of the actors,
improved the visual quality of the slides being talked to,
and experimented with a post-hoc zoom. Overall, the post-processing
stage took considerably longer than anticipated, but did add perceivable
value and impact to the final video.
