Film and video production

When producing a new video or film, only use clips that are less than two years old if they include people. This is to ensure that the film doesn't look old.

Subtitles required

It is a requirement that all Uppsala University video productions must be subtitled and audio described.

The Uppsala University YouTube channel

Videos aimed at external audiences should be published on the University's Youtube channel. E.g. videos for student recruitment, public lectures and interviews with students, alumni or researchers. All published films must have subtitling in at least the language spoken in the film.

To request that your video be published on the Uppsala University Youtube channel, please do the following:

Write a title and short description for the video.
Add relevant links to the end of the description text.
Send the title and description together with the video file and subtitling file (SRT format) to kommunikation@uu.se.

Subtitling / captions

All Uppsala University video productions must be subtitled.

Uppsala University does not have its own agreement for subtitling. The framework agreement procured by the Legal, Financial and Administrative Services Agency (Kammarkollegiet) applies.

Visit the Kammarkollegiet website avropa.se (in Swedish)
Click on 'Ramavtal'
Scroll down to 'Språktjänster'
Select 'Språktjänster svenska'
Note that the framework agreement is ranked (contact no. 1 first. If no. 1 is not available, go to no. 2, etc.)

It is also possible to generate subtitles in the Canvas Studio tool.

Please note that in nearly all cases it is best to provide subtitling as closed captions ('SRT text'), i.e. text that is displayed on top of the video and not as part of the actual video image.
