Recording in MediaSite Mosaic

by

MediaSite Mosaic replaces the older Desktop Recorder app as MediaSite’s lecture capture tool. The Mosaic app is streamlined and easier to use than the old Desktop Recorder. It can be used for capturing lecture video for online or hybrid courses. Some instructors take a ‘flipped classroom’ approach where lectures are assigned as homework and the synchronous course meetings are used for discussion and active learning. With MediaSite Mosaic, .mp4 video files can be automatically uploaded to the MediaSite video hosting system or edited with 3rd party video editing software.

Here is some information about adjusting settings before recording, recording your presentation, and renaming & editing presentations.

Adjusting settings before recording:

  • After launching MediaSite Mosaic choose which screen or window you want to record. As with recording in PowerPoint you can choose if you want to record your webcam or not.
  • Click the Microphone icon to select the mic that you want to use.
  • Click the Display Source icon under the Capture tab to choose which screen or window you want to record.
  • Click the Webcam icon in case you want to record your cam.

Recording your presentation:

  • To begin recording, click the red Record button at the bottom of the screen.
  • Click the Pause button if you want to take a break.
  • Click the Stop button when you are done.

Renaming and editing your presentations:

  • Go to the Presentations tab to find the presentations you have recorded.
  • By default, they are named ‘Untitled”. Click the three-dot menu beside a video and click ‘Rename’ to give it a different name. If you have connected your Mosaic app to Ohio State MediaSite your presentations will be automatically uploaded there. If one hasn’t uploaded yet, you can choose ‘Upload’ under the three-dot menu beside the video.
  • If you want to edit your presentation .mp4 video file locally with video editing software, you can find the .mp4 by selecting ‘Open in Explorer’ from the three-dot menu beside the video. You could create a copy of the file and move it into an Adobe Premiere Pro project to edit.
