Why do I need help editing my course videos?

8/30/2018

You need help because you want your videos to look good (to other people)! Often course creators are so excited to finally get a video recorded that they just want to publish it and move on to the next video. However, if you're asking students to stare at your face for even 5 minutes, you should do your best to make sure the experience is as painless as possible.

​Take a look at the 2 screen shots below - can you see a difference between them? Which one would you rather watch during an online course?

Can you tell what changes I made to get the top video looking like the bottom one? 
  • I zoomed in so there aren't giant black bars on all sides.
  • I positioned the lady & her table in the center (there is equal amount of wall on both sides).
  • I straightened the image.
  • I brightened it.
  • I reduced the highlights a bit.
  • I adjusted the color so it's not so pink.

I did all these things using Adobe Premiere, before I started breaking the video into clips and adding text and images to make the content easier to follow.


So, the first thing you do when you record a new video? Make sure it looks good! Ask people what they think or what they'd change. And if you don't know how to fix it, learn how on YouTube or ask someone for help!
