Please read the following instructions carefully and ensure all requirements are met.
1. Planning your video:
A video presentation is expected to be a stand-alone contribution, encompassing all typical aspects of a written scientific work in a video format. Please follow these guidelines:
- Focus on your own research.
- Introduce the background of the presented research and explain the research objectives.
- Describe the methodology, resources, and main outcomes.
- Make your presentation clear, compelling, and creative to capture community interest and encourage discussion.
2. Recording your video:
- Use visual support (text, images, infographics…) to accompany your presentation.
- There isn’t a template for presentations. If you wish to use the WCQR2025 banner in your layout, please download it here;
- Important: if you resize the banner, maintain the width and height proportions to avoid warping the image.
- Present in the English language. Presentations in other languages will not be considered.
- List of suggestions for recording presentations:
- Avoid using special codecs (encoders/decoders) for cross-platform portability.
- If using PowerPoint (recommended), learn how to export the recording to video here.
- Use MPEG-1 or MPEG-4 video formats.
- Maximum length of videos: between 3 and 5 minutes.
3. Sending your video:
- Send your video by December 18th, 2024.
- Do not send your video by email, files sent as an email attachment will not be considered.
- Please use a file-sharing platform like Wetransfer, Dropbox, Google Drive, etc. Share the link with conference@wcqr.info, and we will confirm receipt.
Confirm that your video meets all requirements to avoid delays in the online posting process. The maximum video length is 5 minutes; longer videos will be requested to reduce the time.
Videos will be available on the WCQR2025 Playlist on our YouTube channel, where the community can leave comments and questions for the authors. Additionally, videos will be displayed during a dedicated session of the WCQR2025 online program.
