Author Video Instructions
In view of the COVID-19 pandemic, ISAF-ISIF-PFM 2021 has been moved to a fully virtual conference. We have opted for a format where each contributed presentation will take the form of a pre-recorded video, available during the original dates of the conference and on-demand before and after the conference concludes.
We request a prerecorded version of your presentation be submitted. Presentations will either be posted On-demand OR played back during a live session via Zoom will be scheduled with a live introduction by a Session Chair and a live Q&A following the presentation. Each author will be receiving an individual email specifying their format on March 7th, 2021.
We request you to prepare and upload a video of your presentation, comprised of a brief introduction with webcam, if desired, followed by voice over slides for your presentation. This will be posted within your presentation time slot on the ISAF 2021 on-demand virtual platform. Please note that the file must be a video file in MP4 format (more details below). Please do not try to upload PowerPoint or PDF files.
Our recommended approach to record a compatible video from content displayed on your computer screen and voice recorded via the computer microphone, is to record the presentation using Zoom, available to users on most platforms and in most countries:
Instructions for recording your presentation with Zoom:

For Authors located in China who are unable to access Zoom for free, use of the free software OBS, which allows also to capture simultaneously yourself while speaking and your slides:

In order for videos to be verified by the technical program committee, there is considerable urgency in preparing and uploading your video. Accordingly, we ask you that you please finalize your video no later than April 7, 2021. This is a HARD DEADLINE. Presentations will not be accepted after this date.
Guidelines for preparing your video:
- Duration: Each author will be receiving an individual email specifying their talk’s duration on March 7th, 2021.
- File size: 250MB max

Please note the final specifications will be checked at the time of submission and files not compliant may not be uploaded.
