We welcome your video submissions! You can do it anonymously or you can have your name attached to the videos. CataractCoach.com and Dr. Devgan will publish a brief article about your video and we will do a review and voice-over of the footage. There is a lot to learn from having others give input on your technique.
We receive 50 to 60 videos per week and can only feature about 10% of those. To increase the likelihood of your video being featured, follow these important rules:
- submit a maximum of one video per two months (6 per year maximum)
- complication videos are far more likely to be featured instead of routine cases
- turn off your video text overlay because it is distracting
- edit your video to about 4 to 6 minutes
- videos must start off being recorded in actual high definition (do not up-convert to HD)
- video must be in focus and eye centered throughout the case
- put your name in the file name of your video otherwise it will be treated as anonymous
- if your case is primarily retina, then submit it to our sister channel RetinaRounds.com
If you would like to submit a video (you can be anonymous if you wish), please use devgan.wetransfer.com which will put devgan@gmail.com as the recipient. Note that submission of a video grants CataractCoach.com and Dr Devgan indefinite, unrestricted, and free use of the video without requiring further permission or payment.
Important: If you would like your name mentioned in the article and review of your video then please include your name in the file-name, such as “Dr John Smith tough PXF cataract case.mp4”
All videos submitted without a surgeon name in the file-name will be treated as anonymous submissions.
Videos must be in High Definition. 1920×1080 (1080p) is ideal; minimum is 1280×720 (720p). note that your video camera source must output in HD. “up-converting” a non HD video from 480p to 1080p will still result in a low resolution 480p video which is not acceptable.
In addition, if your video is out of focus, then we cannot accept it. We receive many video submissions per week, often 10 in a single day, so understand that we cannot feature all of them on CataractCoach. thank you.
