Video

A title card with Concordia's web address must be included at the end of the video. Several options are available and can be shared. Contact your communications advisor for more details.

Using the end title card/animation

Do NOT cross-dissolve from the end of your video to the closing animation; use a straight cut. The closing animation should NOT fade out at the end. The last frame of the video should be the last frame of the closing animation (no fade out).

Video elements

A Concordia look has been created for use in video titles. The bug appears as a watermark at bottom right to identify productions as belonging to Concordia.

Text sizes

Text should be legible when viewed at a resolution of 640 x 360. Spell out the entire department or Faculty names, preceded by the Concordia name. (e.g. The Concordia John Molson School of Business; … presented by the Concordia Department of Biology)
