We've collected the most frequently asked questions and answers from various creators when making classes.
Recording・Screen Recording
Creating a class with only screen recording without showing your face is definitely possible. However, since all content must be delivered through screen materials and audio, voice delivery and sound quality are particularly important.
You can reduce echo while improving sound quality using audio correction programs. If you're an Adobe paid subscriber, we recommend 'Adobe Podcast', and please also refer to the usage guide.
The first method is to improve quality by increasing the bitrate in OBS Studio. For details, please refer to the [Screen Recording with OBS] guide in the Production Support Center. The second method addresses issues that may arise from color representation differences between sRGB and Rec.709, so check if the color value in Settings > Advanced tab is set to Rec.709, and change it to that value if not. Also, when capturing PPT screens, use [Screen Capture] instead of [Window Capture], and set [Method-Window Capture] / [Window-Corresponding PPT] in the settings window. The third method addresses potential monitor setting issues - if HDR is set to ON, please change it to OFF.


Q I'm using a 13-inch MacBook Air and the display size isn't 16:9. Can this be resolved with OBS Studio (screen recording program)?
A There are two ways to achieve 16:9 ratio. The first is connecting a 16:9 ratio external monitor to your MacBook and recording the dual monitor screen, which is the most convenient way to achieve the desired ratio. The second is using editing software (e.g., Adobe Premiere Pro) to add design elements to the margins or Picture in Picture (PIP) features to edit the screen like a design.


Q I'm creating a PPT (Microsoft PowerPoint) and wondering if it's okay to change PPT colors for each chapter?
A As long as you can maintain consistency for each chapter, you're free to change colors.
Editing
The reason we discourage using background music in chapters other than Welcome and Outro is to reduce copyright infringement risks and prevent interference with viewing. Additionally, when modifying videos for future overseas services with automatic dubbing or marketing purposes, having background music inserted often makes the work difficult, so we have a policy of not using it. Finally, since many people repeatedly take educational videos, repeating the same BGM can interfere with concentration or cause fatigue, acting as a source of complaints, and there have actually been cases where this led to customer deletion requests, so we recommend minimizing the use of background music.
Music from YouTube Studio with licenses that allow commercial use can be used, so please check the license before using, and share the music you used with your assigned manager.
As long as the output format is correct, you can use free video editing programs like DaVinci Resolve or CapCut instead of paid programs like Adobe Premiere Pro.
Copyright
Due to copyright issues, it's difficult to show original works directly, but mentioning them is possible. Also, if you want to use images drawn after original works, copies with low similarity to the original can be used as examples, but if it's clearly at a level where anyone can see it's copied directly from the original work, it could be considered copyright infringement, so caution is needed.
When using other copyrighted works in your lectures, citing sources is essential. Please refer to the [Ethics and Legal Guidelines for Production] guide in the Production Support Center for proper citation methods.
For AI-generated content (images, audio, etc.), if you directly generated it by inputting prompts, the copyright belongs to you as the creator. However, to prevent student confusion, please clearly indicate that the content was generated by AI.
Video Submission
Q I don't know how to submit videos in the curriculum.
A Please refer to the [Submission] guide in the Production Support Center to upload your video, then contact the person in charge through email reply or similar methods.
