Once that’s done, drag the blue trim indicator below it to match the scrubber. First grab the little circle and line-scrub cursor on the timeline on the bottom and drag it just past the black screens in the video. Windows will now open that individual file in the Trim mode, which lets you cut off sections you don’t want. Right-click on the video in the Storyboard and select Trim. To do that, right-click on the video you just dragged into the Storyboard and select Trim. Normally you’d string multiple videos together here in the Storyboard, adding music or effects, but all we need today is to trim the black frames. To trim the video, drag it from the Project library to the storyboard. Record yourself doing this for maybe a minute or two, then press Alt+R to end the recording, or use the Stop Record button.Īdd your video from the folder to Video Editor, then drag it into the Storyboard. Yes, just be yourself at any staff meeting where you’d rather be at lunch. Also don’t grimace, smile, or show any emotions that indicate you want to participate. Don’t make any sudden moves, or strong expressions of excitement or agreement, that might cause your boss to notice you and ask for your opinion. While you need to make those small, subtle motions to appear alert and present, this is not the time to overdo it. Make sure it’s the ‘I’m listening’ nod, not the ‘I agree we need to come in on Saturday’ nod. Blink your eyes, and slightly tilt or nod your head from time to time, to signal that you are indeed paying attention. Zoom will indicate that it is recording in the upper-left corner (don’t worry, this doesn’t show up in the video itself). While looking at the camera, press Alt+R to begin recording, or click the Record button at the bottom of the window.

Record your loopĬenter yourself in the frame. Use Zoom’s own recording feature to record yourself intently looking into the camera. From Zoom’s main screen, click the orange New Meeting button. We recommend that you always have the same background, so as not to tip off your boss, or simply use one of Zoom’s virtual background still images. To create our looped video we’ll use Zoom itself, which you can download for free from the Zoom Download Center.
