27th ACM User Interface Software and Technology Symposium

UIST 2014 Video Previews

Video previews are mandatory accompanying material for all papers that will be presented at the conference.

Please carefully read the following instructions and submit your Video Preview in the dedicated "Video Preview" field of your final submission at http://www.precisionconference.com/~sighchi by July 14, 17:00 PDT.

Video Previews Submission

UIST 2014 will, for the first time, integrate Video Previews of all papers presented at the conference. Video Previews are 30 second videos that can be thought of as an elevator pitch to give a glimpse of your work, and are here to help connect your work with the community at the conference and beyond. They will be integrated in the ACM Digital Library as well as the UIST YouTube channel prior to the conference, and will be broadcast on large screens during conference. This provides the authors a great opportunity to publicize their work to a wider audience and to attract more readers to their paper (*). For the first time, UIST 2014 will have multiple sessions, so the Video Previews will also help conference attendees decide which presentations to attend.

For inspiration, you can watch the Video Previews of CHI 2013, CHI 2014 and VIS 2013, which adopted the same format. We also refer you to the UIST 2014 Video Guide for tips on how to create a good video.

Requirements and checklist

Your Video Preview must comply with all the points in the following checklists. If not, make the necessary changes, re-consult the checklist, and then submit your video.

Format

• Duration: 30 seconds at most
• Maximum file size: 20MB
• Resolution: 1280 x 720 px, at 24 to 30 frames/s
• Format: mp4 using H.264 encoding

Before submitting, we invite you to check the compliance of your file using the UIST Video Previews Checker.

Content

• The first 3 seconds of the video must include the title of your paper, authors list, affiliations and contact information
• The rest of the video should communicate the topic and the message of your work (like an elevator pitch)
• The video must be appropriate in terms of rights, use of language, viewpoints or imagery, and should not offend any individuals or groups at the conference or elsewhere (we reserve the right to reject videos whose content is inappropriate)
• Subtitles should be included to improve accessibility to your video (recommended)
• No advertisement for the conference talk. Video Previews will be archived on the abstract page of the ACM Digital Library as a short video figure to overview your work. Their diffusion therefore goes beyond the conference and should not be seen as a teaser to the presentation. Instead, Video Previews should be thought of as a video abstract to attract more readers to the paper.

(*) CHI 2013 Video Previews have a record of 250,000 views since April 2013, and CHI 2014 Video Previews have about 17,000 views since April 2014 (aggregated data from the CHI website and the ACM YouTube Channel).
