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

• A video clip by the denomination designed for sharing, such as Mission Spotlight, is acceptable.
  
  
• Otherwise, contact the ministry that produced the video for permission. They are usually very willing to give it, but it is your responsibility to obtain it.
  
  
• Here are the guidelines for YouTube videos:
  
  
  • We are not allowed to reproduce/broadcast from YouTube unless we have written consent from the content owner. 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.  Without written permission, we will not legally be allowed to use YouTube.
    
    
• The presenters are responsible for obtaining permission and sending 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 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 to use them.
  
  
• Manipulating pictures is not recommended.  But you still must credit the source.
  
  

• To avoid copyright infringement, all sources of graphics or videos should be explicitly acknowledged and with enough screen time to be recognized.
