Video Tutorials

Video Tutorials are a relatively new addition to the world of User Assistance Content. As the name implies, they are videos designed to tutor users in a specific skill, feature, process, or concept. Video Tutorials are used in many different ways. They may be published to YouTube, embedded in Online Help, linked from a PDF, or even installed along with the software. The possibilities are endless and new innovations are coming out all the time.

I specialize in quick, focused, screen-recorded software demonstrations. Along with video, they can contain audio narration, captions, text, or any combination of the three. For really simple features and functions, a 3-second .GIF might do the trick. For deeper concepts, you may need 3 full minutes with lots of visual aids and explanations.

Let us help you better support your users with video tutorials.

Here are some examples of how Video Tutorials can be presented via your browser. These methods can be used in your Online Help or your website (via Web Design and Web Hosting services).
