Dear Accepted Author,

Thank you for participating in the Conference and contributing to the Proceedings (and the ACM DL). This web page will acquaint you to the formatting and submission instructions for the optional acommpanying video.

Please read this whole page along with the preparation instructions for your paper and/or abstract. Submissions that do not conform to the ACM standards, specifications, guidelines, and formats will be returned to the author for corrections and/or alterations.

Guide to a Successful Video Submission

Introduction -- This guide provides information for preparing digital video for submissions to any of the venues where videos are accepted.

Size -- For your accompanying video to be included in the ACM Digital Library and associated with your paper, its final data size must be no more than 30 MB (megabytes). All video figures must be within this limit. Please test your final file before submission to ensure that it does not exceed this limit.

Format -- We highly recommend QuickTime (.mov) and QuickTime-compatible file formats for your digital video submission. Any video file that can be played with the latest version of QuickTime Player (available from the QuickTime web page) is acceptable. If you compress your video with unusual software or codecs you risk the distinct possibility that reviewers will not be able to watch your clip, or it will need to be reencoded for the conference disc. ACM does not accept or include analog (videotape) submissions, software applications (.exe files), or digital video clips requiring a specific computing platform or additional software to play.

Duration -- There are no specific guidelines for the time duration of video submissions. For video figures: If you plan to play the figure during your conference presentation, be sure that you allow enough time both for the video and the other portions of the presentation, including time at the end for questions.

Identification: Please remember to review the properties of your digital file and insert appropriate identifying comments. All material submitted bear a copyright or permission notice assigning appropriate copyright. The QuickTime format permits you to enter author, title, and copyright information. Please include this information in the properties of your digital video file.
