What does it mean to produce video documentation, anyway? What makes it effective? There are a number of tools, methods, and production techniques that make up the answer to that question. Get started on the answers with STC's multiweek online course Producing Effective Video Documentation, presented by Matt Sullivan every Tuesday for six weeks, starting on 5 August, from 7:00-8:00 PM EDT (GMT-4).
Depending on who has requested the video documentation, how will it be used, and the timeframe and expense to accomplish the project, you might be “asked” to produce a video using:
- a video or webcam with QuickTime or other software
- a tool for enhancing PowerPoint presentations like Adobe/Articulate Presenter products
- screencasts or webinar recording software like Connect, WebEx, or GoToMeeting
- interactive simulation software like Captivate
- working with interactive 3D
This six-week course provides exposure to each of these methods, with best practices provided by Matt Sullivan, who teaches video techniques and technical communication online as a core part of his business. In addition to the topics listed above, you will learn proper techniques for audio recording and editing, video lighting, and publishing to a variety of servers and formats.
Join Matt and STC, and bring effective video documentation to company and your skill set!
