Broadcast-Quality Video Now Available to AAPD Members

We're excited to share with you the availability of a commercial video touting the importance of our profession. The AAPD has produced a video at the request of members that can be used in your practice and local media markets. The video can also be personalized as a television spot to promote your practice. A preview of this video was shown during the Opening Keynote session during the recent AAPD Annual Session in Boston.

For those of you that are interested in personalizing the video with your practice's information practice for a TV spot in your local markets, you will need to take the Uncompressed Quicktime broadcast video file to any local post-production house and request a custom five-second end tag created to replace the existing five seconds of the video, but NOT replacing the existing audio. These high-quality video files are designed for broadcast use only and will take a long time to download. There are several options available for the production of a custom end tag. Most local TV stations also have production departments that could easily do this end-tag work for a small hourly fee.

Broadcast Quality Videos:

• 30-Second Spot
• 60-Second Spot

If you are interested in downloading and playing a version on your computers or hosting on your website and social media, please use the much smaller web version. A YouTube of the 60-second video with the AAPD sign-off, can be found at:http://www.youtube.com/embed/sJBb13LxEmA.

Finally, please keep us informed should you place this video in your local media market! Please e-mail AAPD Public Relations Senior Manager Erika Hoeft at erika@aapd.org.
