Online trainign videos (production and preproduction)

Created by yenerich on June 25, 2009

 

In this example. I was developing some videos for Mp3Gain PRO & Mp3Doctor PRO

The "difficult part" was trying to show the benefit and concepts of something a little complicated, for the average people that has no knowledge on the area.

The other "problem" was trying to make videos that where visualy nice. We try to avoid a low video with just one off voice.

So, in first place we need to get a lot of images and videos and make a plan on how to use them to make a good looking video.

We download videos from youtube, and found some freeware flv to avi converters, also we make a research looking for modern images.

Also, we use a video editor (honestech) to add some effects to the videos, to edit and cut them.

Finally we use the title editor mentione before, to create our videos.

This is one of the videos:

One of the more complicated thing to do is develope a well produced online video.

Most people thing they need a professional video trained staff to do it, but there is a way to do it without having a big budget.

In my case, my plan was to create some short video in fist place, that could be used as a presentacion-leading to all the videos.

I want it to be modern, with many movements, not static.

I found BluffTitler. Its not free, but i does it job very well.

2 things make me recommend this tools, no matter is not free.

1.- Its VERY powerfull and let the creator develope complex and stunning videos.

2.- The use and interface is REALLY very simple. You do not need to learn a 300 pages manual (like Adobe products). In a few hours playing with this tool, you will be doing pretty amazing stuff.

Look at some screenshots:

The challenge we faced was to convey information to a diverse group of people.
We wanted to use the opportunity offered by online videos, to make a more effective communication.
Knew you would not normally read technical manuals, and also knew that the level of awareness of

different users is not uniform. Some people even are not handled very well using computers.
Most individuals are reluctant to read technical manuals. Even the level of knowledge on the subject
