// Fast Forward
The Fast Forward session will take place on Tuesday, June 4th. At least one author of each paper (full papers, short papers, STARs, and posters) will be presenting a 45-second (full-papers and STARs) or 35-second (shorts and posters) preview of the content.
We ask authors to prepare a single 45-seconds (full-papers and STARs) or 35-seconds (shorts and posters) movie with the following content:
- First 5 seconds: paper title, using the provided PowerPoint template. This slide will show the paper title, author names, and affiliations. Use of this template is mandatory. Please do not modify the layout.
- Next 30 or 40 seconds: a full-screen movie to advertise the paper. If this part of the video shows static content, we recommend using the PowerPoint template is recommended.
We encourage authors to make the movie as captivating as possible to attract the audience to their presentation. Be creative!
We will collect the movies for all the papers and assemble them into a single video. We will strictly enforce the guidelines below.
// Formatting Guidelines
The video file should be encoded in H264 and embedded in MP4 (do NOT use QuickTime .mov or other formats). We will be screening at 720p (1280×720 px, aspect ratio 16:9). Please optimize your video for these projector settings.
The first 5 seconds of the movie must show the title slide, using the provided PowerPoint template. Please add the title of your paper and the list of authors with their affiliation. Do not put day/session information. We will overlay the session information later on. During the Fast Forward session, we will use the 5 seconds showing the title slides will to switch speakers.
The next 30/40 seconds can show either still images or fully animated movies. Audio is welcome. If you use audio in your videos, please have it encoded in AAC format.
// Suggested Workflow
A simple option for creating the requested movie is to extend the provided PowerPoint template with the desired slides/animations. You can also embed your video. You can then set time intervals for the slides (5 seconds +30 seconds) and finally save as MP4 movie.
