Thursday, November 12th, 2009Nowadays, as the high-speed development of Technology, more and more how-to demos jump into people’s eye. Internet possesses much energetic teamwork that is willing to create video tutorials to help others. However, how to create a helpful, effective and demo video is a big problem lying before the video authors.
Want to make your explanation clearer and easier to understand? Now, I want to share some tips to make your videos more popular.
Firstly, make preparation
Before making demo video, you should spend some time to think over. I think this is a necessity for creating videos. For example, should I explain the video step by step or directly show it in words? How to name the video? How long it will take? What component it consists of and which part should I take more attention? Etc. Once these preparations are ready, you will find recording becomes so easy since you’ve already known what to do next.
Secondly, Show key-part in detail
You need to know which part is the most important of your demo video, and then you should show this part in detail. It’s not far enough to create a satisfactory demo video only by directly recording. Try to put some effects into your recording to emphasize the key-point. Such as the highlight cursor, the different color between the right and left mouse-clicks. Only in this way, can you make your video more attractive.
Thirdly, avoid unnecessary
Make sure that you don’t move the mouse back and forth or say something irrelevant while recording, because these unnecessary behaviors will bother the users and distract their attentions to the video.
Lastly, do some narration
In many cases, explain in voice brings some incredible effect in video. Now, majority of screen recording software could do this now, such as our PCHand Screen Recorder. Record audio – from the PC or microphone, you can remind people to take more attention to some useful info.
