Presenter Video Express offers some simple yet powerful options to enable you to customize the appearance of your module.

Here are some of the editing options that are available to you:

  • Branding - You can edit the theme of the video to accurately reflect your personal or corporate brand.
  • Pan and zoom - Add pan and zoom effects to highlight sections of the presentation that you want to emphasize.
  • Trim - Trim your videos to make them more concise and to remove sections of the presentation that are not required.
  • Annotations - Add annotations to your video. They can be in the form of text or shapes.
  • Quiz - Add quiz questions to your video to add some interaction and to gauge the learner's understanding. The results of the quiz questions can also be recorded and reported through SCORM (if you are using an LMS).

Timeline shows you the entire video clip in the form of a (colored) rectangular bar. If you have used multiple layouts in the project, this rectangle is divided into many rectangles with different colors. The layouts are color-coded to help you instantly identify the allocation of the layouts in the video.

The Timeline also shows the audio waveform of the audio clip recorded with the video.

The rectangular bar (video clip) is prefixed and suffixed with the default branding videos. You can remove these videos or choose different videos using the Branding panel. For more information, see Edit video theme.


A. Default branding video at the beginning of the video B. Light blue timeline indicating presenter and presentation mode C. Green timeline indicating Presentation only mode D. Yellow timeline indicating presenter only mode

Note:

An external video added to the timeline is indicated by a darker shade. If you add an external video in presentation only mode, then the timeline is a dark green. If you add an external video in presenter and presentation only mode, then the timeline is a dark blue. And if you add an external video in presenter only mode, the timeline turns dark yellow in color.

In different modes, the timeline contains different indicators showing the different locations where edits are made.

For example, if you are in pan and zoom mode, you can see all the locations on the timeline where you have added pan and zoom effects. And if you are in annotations mode, you can see on the timeline all the annotations you have added. However, you cannot see the other type of effects you have added.

Additionally, the right of the timeline has a zoom slider that allows you to magnify the timeline allowing you to edit the video at very granular levels.

For example, while choosing the Trim region, you can drag the playhead from 5 seconds to 6 seconds at a lower zoom level. You can drag it from 5 seconds to 5.5 seconds at a higher zoom level.

Scrollbar and markers on the Timeline help you navigate to specific portions of the video.

Scrollbar, at the bottom of the Timeline, contains a miniature form of the rectangular bar and reflects the color scheme displayed in the Timeline.

When you magnify the Timeline, the entire video clip does not fit into the Timeline. While you can make fine edits using the magnified view of the Timeline, you can use the scrollbar to quickly navigate to a specific portion of the video.

Markers are tiny heads in the Timeline as shown in the following screenshot, that indicate a lower third text.

You can now customize the backgrounds in the videos that you shoot. Click here for more information on enhancing your videos.

By default, the projects are named as untitled <n>. To name your project, click the project name at the top of the Adobe Presenter Video Express screen, and type the required name.

You can add pan and zoom effects to your project to highlight or emphasize parts of the screen.

Note:

Another way you can highlight sections of the screen is through the use of annotations.

  1. Click Play () and pause the video (click the Play button again) at the point where you want to add a pan and zoom effect.

  2. Click the Pan & Zoom icon in the Toolbar pane to open up the Pan & Zoom panel adjacent to it. The panel displays thumbnails according to each recording mode such as Webcam, Screen, or Both.

  3. Click and drag the handles (highlighted area in red) in the pan and zoom panel to define the pan and zoom region. A pan and zoom icon appears in the Timeline.

    Move the mouse over the thumbnail in the Pan & Zoom panel to view a rectangle with circular handles at the corners. Drag the rectangle to select an area you want to zoom into.

    The video is played at the specified pan and zoom level until the next pan and zoom point. This means, if you have zoomed into the video, you have to zoom out again to display the video in the original size.

    Double-click anywhere in the pan and zoom region of the Webcam or the Screen to display the video in the original size.

    Note:

    Each starting point of a Pan and Zoom area of the video will be represented by the icons in the timeline. When you move mouse over these icons, they appear like this icon. To re-position the Pan and Zoom starting points in the timeline, you can click and drag the existing icons.

Error: Your camera doesn't support the minimum FPS required for Adobe Presenter Video Express...

This error occurs because your camera supports a frame rate lesser than 10 FPS. Adobe Presenter Video Express produces best quality videos when your camera is High Definition (1280 x 720) and supports at least 10 FPS (frame rate). Use of cameras that support lesser FPS results in choppy videos (similar to slide-show)

Solution:

Adobe For Mac Video Player

Replace your camera with one of the recommended ones. See Recommended cameras and microphones for more information.

Also, ensure that you have installed the native driver for the camera provided by the manufacturer.

Adobe Presenter Video Express requires much processing power to record the screen and webcam videos simultaneously. The presenter video in particular is a lot more difficult to record. When the processing power is not sufficient, the Presenter video quality will be low. The quality drop can be seen in the drop in the frame rate of the video. Also, the audio and video may go out of synchronization.

Solution:

Close unnecessary applications and free up system resources. If you experience a problem with the quality of your Presenter video, please check the following:

  • Are you capturing an SD video instead of an HD video?

  • Are all unnecessary applications closed?

  • Do you have sufficient free space on your hard disk? At least 5 GB is needed, but around 15 GB is recommended.

  • Are you using a good quality webcam? Check out the webcams recommended by Adobe.

  • Are your webcam drivers up to date?

  • Are you capturing your video in a well-lit environment? Most webcams perform poorly in bad lighting.

  • Are you running Adobe Presenter Video Express in Diagnostic Mode? Use Diagnostic Mode only to report issues to Adobe.
