In practice, we start by putting in the title scene and the end scene. When planning the video, be clear about what you want to demonstrate and how this might best be achieved. This gives you a target to work to and a finite length for the video timeline (see below). “Be methodical and well organised when creating a surgical video.” At the outset, create a plan for the video (Figure 2) and know approximately how long the finished product needs to be. If the video is demonstrating theatre layout or set up of a nurse’s trolley it might be more practical to get these images when theatre is empty or at the weekend when you are less likely to interfere with normal workings of theatre. If the video is demonstrating a certain surgical approach, draping of patient or surgical incision, plan to get still images the next time such a case comes to theatre. Material for a video may include operative or surgical footage, still images of a surgical specimen or x-ray images. Also, material for a video may have been collected over many months, so from the outset, try to keep all the digital material together in clearly labelled folders, subdirectories and files (Figure 1). When creating a video, it is important to be well organised and methodical in your preparation as there will often be several repetitive steps in the process.

In this second article we describe how to take raw video footage and media from various sources, edit and subsequently narrate it to produce a finished product suitable for teaching or publication.įigure 1: Organisation of source material (operation video, CT images, ultrasound images, specimen pictures and histology images), which may have been collected over many months, and video workings into files within clearly labelled directories and sub-directories.

In our first paper in this series we described some technical considerations for recording surgical video. In this second and last paper in our series (Part 1 available here), we describe how to edit and produce a fully narrated surgical video. With the extensive computing power presently available to us, it is well within the capability of any department to produce its own video. Having to resort to an external commercial source to produce a video can be prohibitively expensive. A well-made and informative video can be one of the most valuable promotional tools for a department of urology.
