Formatting

• On-screen size:  16:9  (located under File > Page Setup)

• Fonts: text is easiest read when the font is 70 or above.                

• If there is a lot of text, it should be spread over multiple slides to make reading easier.

• Beware of cluttered backgrounds that make reading the text difficult.  

• The background should be non-distracting and consistent throughout the presentation. 

• Slides will be on the live stream and must be easy to read on that medium.  

• The screen should never be black.  Use a colored blank or background as a spacer.

Videos

• Using a video clip by the denomination that is designed for sharing, such as Mission Spotlight, is acceptable.

• Otherwise, contact the ministry that produced the video for permission.  They are usually very willing.  Obtaining permission is your responsibility.

• Here are the guidelines for YouTube videos:

  • We are not allowed to reproduce/broadcast from YouTube unless we have written consent from the owner of the content. The written documentation, if acquired, needs to be sent to Media@SpringtownChurch.org with the link for the video and start/stop time before use.  If we do not have written permission we will not legally be allowed to use YouTube.

• It is the presenters' responsibility to obtain permission and send it to the church.

• You can use 30 seconds of a video interspersed with your content.  You may use only 5 minutes total from a source in your presentation.  You must clearly credit the source of the video.

Graphics

• Copyright laws are stricter when live-streaming.  

• Photos or graphics taken from Google often infringe on copyright laws.  

• It is recommended to use personal or purchased photos or graphics for projection that will be live-streamed. 

• Pictures with watermarks are copyrighted.  They must be purchased in order to use them.

• Manipulating pictures is not recommended.  But you still must clearly credit the original source.

Acknowledge the Source

• In order to avoid copyright infringement, all original sources of graphics or videos should be acknowledged specifically and with enough screen time to be recognized.
