Video Capture

If you (or a third-party vendor) are capturing video, it is important that you follow these basic guidelines to ensure that not only PTC’s brand reputation is maintained but also so that your footage adheres to the production standards of our in-house agency, allowing for better integration with existing assets.

Filming

All video needs to be captured in an NTSC Frame rate (23.98fps / 29.97fps / 59.94fps)

Productions should be filmed in 4K when available (3840×2160 Ultra-HD 4K or higher) We would accept 2K (2560x1440) and no resolution smaller than 1920x1080 (1080p Full HD) will be accepted for interviews or B-roll projects.

For audio, we need a combination of both Lav (hidden) and Boom to have flexibility in post-production. When shooting an interview, always record 15-20 seconds of un-interrupted room tone at the end of your interview for post-production work.

Screen Capture

When capturing software screens, it is imperative to do so at the highest quality possible to best represent our technology. Our recommended capture software is Camtasia 2021 or higher.
