2. Let’s review
Write down as many video tutorial best practices as you can remember
Write down as many principles from the CTML as you can remember
These principles refer to the final video…but we still need to get there

3. Let’s watch some examples (pay attention to production)

4. Raw footage
Raw footage is all of the unedited video content that you’ve shot
Raw footage is important for obvious reasons
More is better usually

5. Getting to the final product
Sequencing your content
Inserting or cleaning audio if necessary
Cutting or removing unnecessary or distracting content
Inserting title slides

6. Sequencing: Editing environment
Preview
Raw video
Video

Audio
sequence

7. Sequencing basics
Put all relevant video files in the timeline of your video editor
Separate the audio from the video
Split video where you want to introduce segues
Zoom in and out of the timeline as necessary

8. audio Add voice over audio track if necessary
Use auto-enhance features in the software
Use background music in your introduction and conclusion
Introduce music during parts of the video that require video but no audio

9. Cutting Content
Watch the video and decide places where deleting content would be helpful
Long pauses
Um’s and other filler words
Speed up content to 2x or more when you want to show the process but the details don’t matter much or are repetitive (e.g., lifting car using a jack)

10. Introducing title slides
Nearly all editing software allows you to add text slides
Insert text slides in the introduction and conclusion
Insert text slides between split sections
Use CRAP principles on textual elements and be consistent
