Some “Secrets” for Creating Demo Video

Thursday, November 12th, 2009

Nowadays, 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.

To make demo video smoother and easier in the shortest possible time, try these tips. If you have suggestion, share with us by posting comment.

How to choose a better screen capture tool?

Wednesday, October 7th, 2009

In this fast-developing society, we have no more time and energy to read the text descriptions. Many documents, if you just use words to introduce, it is estimated that few people have the patience to read the end. At this time, we often need a point to attract people’s attention. Perhaps you will need a tool with which you can not only capture anything you need, but also you can handle the images.             

Well, I am now here to introduce some knowledge to select this kind of tools.

Firstly, the capture tool should be easy to use, you don’t choose a very professional and complex one, because this kind of tool will waste you a lot of time to learn how to use it. In my opinion, only the high efficiency work can bring us more benefits. So if you really need such a tool while working, I suggest you to choose an easy to operate and easy to use one.

Secondly, the function should be relatively complete. Select one that not only can capture, but also can enhance the images. There are many free softwares, which provide some modes of capture, but do you want to attract people’s more attention? So select a fully functional capture tool, such as PCHand Screen Capture. Mostly, the problem is not the number of images, but the quality of the pictures. Such as how you deal with the pictures.

Thirdly, it should be practical. The practical that I am talking about not only includes an affordable price, but also has its own value. People are reluctant to spend too much money to buy such a small software, so the one which can fulfill your need with suitable price could be the first choice.

Screen capture tool plays an important role in our daily work. It makes our original work become more attractive and more interesting. So, choose a right capture tool and perfect your job now!
