A SciVee Postercast is created when you combine: a video with your poster.  After you upload your video and poster, you can select areas of your poster to appear as your video plays to create a compelling record of your poster presentation to share with your colleagues.

To learn more about creating a postercast, check out the tutorial or the postercast help section on the SciVee web site.  http://www.scivee.tv/help/view/157

Combining your video with your poster will allow viewers to really get a closer look at your findings/data.

Using SciVee’s synchronization tool, you can select parts of your poster to pop up on the screen at specific points as your video/audio plays. A postercast is an excellent way to document your presentation and quickly share with many other people the main points of your research.

Your postercast will be limited to 3 minutes (strictly enforced). This is enough time to cover the major highlights of your poster effectively. We think SciVee postercasts will help spread the word about your research.

Besides the SciVee postercast you are encouraged to use Multimedia in more inventive ways (a mini-documentary showcasing your research teams accomplishments). But this is not required.
