What are some good tips?
Tip #1
If you choose to use your voice to narrate your video use and external mike and do so after you have recorded the screen. This allows you to make fewer mistakes and will give the audio better quality in the final cut.
Tip # 2
Adding subtitles to your video will help the viewer understand what you are showing them to do.
Tip # 3
Make your titles look great. Change the font the background color; this will make your video look a lot better and more much better
Tip # 3.A
Use a photo as your title. Using a photo as your title can make it look better and more creative.
Tip # 3.B
When making your title be sure to make the text easy to read and understand, if they can’t read it they won’t learn anything form it.
Tip # 4
When recording your screen be sure that all unnecessary programs are closed, this is to avoid having window popup in the middle of your recording.
Tip # 5
Keep it simple, a mistake that a lot of amateurs do is they try and make them seem really smart by using complicated words. When narrating your video be sure to keep the vocabulary simple and if you have to use a complicated word explain what it means.
Tip # 6
Explain everything the people viewing your video may not be as literate as you so be sure to explain exactly what you are doing at all times, doing so will make the viewer understand what they are to do while teaching them a skill. Think of explaining it to a 7 year old
