MacVideo

• Supporting Unit: MacPherson Institute
• Support Resource: MacVideo Knowledge Base

In order to facilitate video creation and streaming for instructors, the MacPherson Institute hosts a service called MacVideo. This service can be accessed by anyone using their MacID and allows instructors to record, edit and post video content for their courses on a platform that is similar to YouTube but for the McMaster community. The MacVideo Knowledge Base has been created to answer any video creating questions or general inquiries. If you are using videos that you have created in your teaching, MacVideo is the best way to host and share them with your students. MacVideo has been integrated into Avenue to make it even easier to post your videos into your course content. Of course, as a legislative requirement, all media utilized in courses must comply with accessibility guidelines which includes captioning for video posted in courses. MacVideo contains an auto-captioning tool that will generate captions. Once the system has generated these captions, you can edit them to ensure 100% accuracy and accessibility compliance from within MacVideo. Find our more about MacVideo in the Getting Started with MacVideo tutorial.
