CCM Digital Recording Services

Video recording is needed for various purposes. At CCM Digital, we offer five services with five purposes and turnaround times.

CCM Digital Recording Services are available ONLY for CCM faculty, staff and students.

Projects Not for Public Release

Internal Use Projects

Internal use projects capture material that is not licensed for external use, but desired for classroom use, teaching and learning, personal portfolios, reels, and auditions.

INTERNAL USE VIDEOS cannot be used in full online.

They cannot be used online when:

  • The material is not licensed for streaming.
  • The videos are not closed captioned, which is a requirement by the federal government (ADA and FCC) for all media created by public institutions. All videos released on public platforms must have closed captions in order to meet federally required accessibility guidelines.
  • Compliance is the sole responsibility of the person who requests and receives the content. Once a video is delivered, the material needs to be handled responsibly.

Self-record

Turnaround time – immediate.

Available in Corbett Auditorium, Patricia Corbett Theater, Werner Recital Hall, 1630 Corbett, DVAC 100. No need to fill out Digital Services Recording Request Form, although you must still follow CCM's procedures for scheduling a performance space.
