Welcome to Penn State Scranton's One Button Studio!
Located in Dawson 120 and available for use by faculty, students, and staff, the One Button Studio is a simplified video recording setup that can be used without any previous video production experience. The design of the studio allows you to create high quality, polished video projects without having any previous experience or specialized knowledge.
When you plug in your flash drive, the One Button Studio activates: the camera and microphone are turned on and three-point lighting is engaged, all on your choice of backgrounds.
Video recording is automatic, and the final video file is automatically saved to your flash drive.
You Can Go Anywhere in the One Button Studio!
