A pre-recorded webinar involves two discrete projects: recording the speakers and replaying the edited material for the audience. Rally Point Webinars takes a number of steps to ensure a quality recording:

• Timing – The recording session occurs weeks before the replay. Just like in a Hollywood movie, there are many post-production elements that must happen and contingencies to account for before a recording is ready for a live showing.

• Equipment – Speakers look their best during an event when provided with great lighting, cameras, and dress. The same holds true for audio. A great microphone will enhance the gravitas and appeal of any voice. Rally Point Webinars prepares your speakers with the tools to both look and sound great.

• Setup – Great equipment also needs the right setup. The wrong audio pattern setting on a mic or the improper placement of lighting can undermine the selection of first-rate equipment.

• Coaching – Most experts have a degree of comfort speaking in person. Presenting in an empty room, in front of a camera, poses a fresh challenge. A Rally Point Webinars producer will provide your speakers with best practices and live coaching so that they shine.

• Recording – The quality of a recording can vary greatly. Think of a.m. radio versus satellite radio. The Rally Point Webinars recording process eliminates the static, blips, and distortions that threaten the capture of any audio and video.

Errors at any of these stages can degrade a recording. By working with Rally Point Webinars, you will receive the highest quality material for your event.

At a minimum, every recording session has outtakes or crosstalk to remove. Doing so is a process:

• Initial Review – The audio, video, and content editors at Rally Point Webinars will review the recording session material. This process includes marking material for deletion and recommending changes.

• Editing – Editing audio and video pose complications that editing text does not. These include digital silences, volume mismatches, and visual distortions. Our experts will surgically edit your recording so that it appears unblemished during the replay.

• Final Review – The importance of this cannot be overstated because even a minor mistake can have a detrimental impact. For instance, a single repeated sentence can tip off an audience that a webinar is pre-recorded. Rally Point Webinars therefore rigorously reviews a recording after it is edited before declaring it ready for showtime.

• Additional Recording Time – Sometimes a single recording session is insufficient. A legal department may object to material. A partner company may want a section added. An in-house expert may have language to refine. In such circumstances, the Rally Point Webinars team can record additional material, then imperceptibly blend it with the original recording.

The  result is a professional, polished recording that discards all of the content you don’t want and captures all of the content you desire. 

Many pre-recorded webinars blend live elements with recorded ones. For instance, a live Q&A session might follow a recorded presentation. These steps for replaying a pre-recorded webinar will ensure it runs smoothly in any scenario:

• Production Timeline – Pre-recorded webinars do not replay well on autopilot. Rather, key actions must occur at specific times. The Rally Point Webinars team documents the timing of the entire process so that each action occurs at the scheduled time.

• Rehearsals – A pre-recorded webinar also requires practice. Our team prepares for your replay by conducting internal rehearsals. Your team can then relax while our team independently ensures everything is ready to go.

• Technology – Certain webinar platforms do not offer the features, quality, or reliability needed to professionally produce a pre-recorded webinar. Our production team has vetted the webinar platforms available in the marketplace and picked what works best. In addition, we blend different technologies to provide custom solutions for clients as well as provide our own proprietary technology to fill in holes within the industry. For example, Rally Point Webinars can weave in live, moderated polls during a pre-recorded webinar.

• Producers – During the replay of the pre-recorded webinar, the Rally Point Webinars producers will run each element of your event. 

• Live Chatting – Attendees of your event will have questions. It is imperative that the responses are engaging. Rally Point Webinars provides live interaction with attendees even though the event is a pre-recorded webinar.

• Redundancies – Servers can go down. Internet issues can strike, and more. Regardless, Rally Point Webinars is prepared for each contingency. Thus, when it is showtime, your event will always take place. And to your audience, the event will appear masterfully executed.

Rally Point Webinars has professionally run pre-recorded webinars since its founding in 2009. We take on the stress and work of delivering pre-recorded webinars so that your team can be at ease while it all happens.
