Options – Best to Worst 1. Feed from the sound system Except when presenter decides to NOT use the microphone. Some rooms have audio for the press on the back wall or in floor boxes. 2. Microphone on the presenter Problems: several presenters require several mics or they have to swap them. Audience questions are missed or poor quality 3. Microphone Near the presenter Works well if you are allowed to place the mic near the presenters. 3. Shotgun microphone on camera Frequently pointing at speaker, not presenter, works best Use wireless feed from microphone on tripod in front of speaker. If close to speaker use standard mic 4. Camera's built in microphone.

EDITING Add a title at the start Fade in Choose logical start and end points Start recording before the event start then trim the unwanted portion before. Same for after the end of the event Produce final version Video editors don't really change your original recording, instead they accumulate a list of your edits, fades and their location. Making a new copy of you video WITH those changes applied is called rendering and produces the final output video format.
