Video Guidelines
Videos must be no longer than 90 seconds.
Backgrounds should be neutral, and you may not use a virtual background or green screen to record your video.
Use a phone, laptop, or a similar device to record your video – avoid using professional recording equipment. Your video can be vertical or horizontal.
Videos should only feature the PNM (no other people, pets, props, etc. may be present).
Do not edit your video. It should be a genuine and unaltered representation of you.
A professional or third-party video/service provider should not be used to create or edit your video.
Video Quality Recommendations
Be sure that your video is stable. Avoid shaking or moving the camera while recording. We recommend recording on a computer if able.
Make sure that you are fully in view of the camera. You do not want to cut off part of your face.
Test the lighting before recording. We recommend keeping the light in front of your face and using natural lighting or lamps.
Record in a quiet setting, preferably inside, for the best audio quality. Make sure to always face the camera during the recording and turn off any excess or background noise such as a fan or TV to ensure that your voice is heard in the recording.
A simple background with minimal distractions is ideal. Your background does not need to be a single color but avoid a cluttered/messy background and a background that is too bright.
