Video/Audio Editing

Production Services provide VHS and digital editing for faculty, staff and student projects. Student productions must have faculty approval prior to scheduling the editing facilities. Please email itsmultimedia@siue.edu with faculty approval. Editing projects are time consuming and take multiple editing appointments. Please consult Production Services for a consultation and an estimated time to complete the project. See guidelines for details. Production Services will provide you with tips and advice on how to make your editing sessions more successful. Please plan your editing schedule well in advance. We will not begin an editing project the day before it is due. Production Services will adhere to copyright laws when using copyrighted materials. Students must provide the recording media (VHS tape, CDs, DVD-R, MiniDV, etc) and additional media for final production. Faculty are provided with one copy of the production. Faculty must provide additional media for additional copies. Top

Streaming Video/Audio

Yuja will serve as the primary platform for storing media content across campus, giving faculty, students, and staff the ability to create, upload, and share videos from one location. In addition to its storing and sharing capabilities, Yuja allows users to do basic video editing, integrate quizzing and other video interactivity, and bring in external videos for enhancements. Yuja also has the capability to add automatic closed captioning, helping to meet University accessibility goals and achieve ADA compliance.

One of the greatest features for faculty and staff includes integration with Blackboard that also includes quizzing within the video content which can optionally report back to the grade center. This interactive quizzing will ideally help increase student engagement within flipped, blended, or online courses. Analytics allow users to see how much time is spent on the videos as well as the quiz results.

Yuja allows users to create recordings using the Yuja Software Capture Tool.  Zoom can still be used as the user's primary choice for making videos, which automatically save in a Zoom folder in the user's account.   Most video formats and videos from YouTube can be uploaded into Yuja.

Access Yuja at siue.yuja.com. You can find log in instructions and additional articles in the ITS Knowledge Base (keyword: Yuja). When working with videos, be sure to follow this workflow for best results.

For more information contact ITS at itsmultimedia@siue.edu or by calling 650-5500.  If you need some instruction with Yuja schedule an appointment with one of our instructional designers by completing the consultation request form.
