Recommended Steps
for Creating Instructional Videos
Be concise - Avoid creating a long video. Chunk your videos into 5 minute-segments.
Create a conversational script
Start with an introduction and objectives.
Make it fun. Boring videos are likely to turn your viewers off.
When recording, use YouTube-friendly video size:
Regular SD 720p: 1280x720 or HD
1080p: 1920x1080
If possible, use an external microphone and sit in a calm place.
If you are recording your face, look into the camera, and adjust
the position of the camera and the lighting conditions. Use a laptop stand or a
stack of books if possible.
Don’t worry about making mistakes, just pause, repeat, and edit
later before sharing.
Prepare your final production and
test it on several computers and pilot it.
Publish your video to YouTube and give it a clear description
including objectives.
Publishing Videos on YouTube and Google Drive
Using a Google Account, YouTube allows you to publish videos according to these three ways:
1- Public (Video fully available to all the world wide web)
2- Private (Video is only showing to you in your private collection)
3- Unlisted (Video is only available to people with a link that you can provide to your viewers)
You can also share your videos directly from your Google Drive or OneDrive in the same way you share any file.
