Camtasia Video TipsToday I have an excellent video for you. Bill Myers has created a video covering 7 tips for “how-to-do” videos.

Billy cover areas like transitions, text, background, music and more in 2:25 minutes.

For your convenience I have included a summary of the video below.

OK Billy, take it away…

Create Better Tips Videos Summary

1) Choose a video background

You can find video (moving) backgrounds at for example movietools.

2) Choose a music backing track

Create the right ambiance with the right background music. Here you find a great collection of Royalty free music suitable for videos here.

3) Use easy to read fonts

4) To enhance readability – use shadow on your text.

In Camtasia you find the Shadow function for text here:

Camtasia Text Drop Shadow

5) Use simple transitions between your scenes

And finally, keep your tips brief and don’t include too many tips.

And a bonus tip from me, narrate your video reading your tips out to your viewers.

I hope you enjoyed the video. Until next time ;-)
