Today 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:

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
