How to create a training video

Training videos are mainly produced in the following three steps.

Consider the configuration

First, you need to consider the structure of your video. Here, it is important to clarify the purpose of producing the video (training newcomers, dropping manuals, etc.) and come up with a structure plan that matches it. In addition, when planning the structure, it is necessary to carefully consider the ease of understanding and the viewing of the video itself.

Preparation of materials

Once the composition is decided, the material is prepared based on it. Specifically, this applies to materials, images, and music used in videos, and it is effective to use free materials to reduce costs.

edit

Once the material is gathered, it is time to edit it. Since you will be using video editing software here, it is also very important to know how to operate it.

What do I need to do after my video is complete?

Once your video is complete, upload it and make it available for viewing. However, training using video does not end there, and you must also make sure that:

notice

Once the video is available for viewing, we will announce it to employees participating in the training. Regarding viewing, it is necessary to consider whether it will be done only within the company or whether it will be possible to watch it anywhere on a personal smartphone, etc., and it is necessary to announce the detailed viewing method.

Checking the effect

Once you've conducted training using the videos you've produced, it's also important to check the effectiveness of the training. For example, if the purpose of the training is to incorporate the manual, it is necessary to check whether the participants fully understood the content of the video by conducting tests.

Rethinking the video itself

The videos used in training need to be reviewed regularly. In particular, it is very important to make a habit of regularly reviewing videos, as it may be necessary to revise videos when the content of work or manuals changes.

Tips for creating an effective training video

In order to create an effective training video, don't forget to keep the following points in mind.

Make good use of diagrams, images, etc.

It's important to be specific in your training videos. In order to do so, it is necessary to think carefully from the stage of considering the composition so that the content is enriched by making good use of diagrams and images.

The length should be about 10 minutes.

Videos that are too long can distract viewers. For this reason, it is effective to aim for a training video of about 10 minutes. If you have a lot of content to cover in your training, it is recommended that you make multiple short videos divided into themes instead of making one long video that covers everything.

Be ready to fix it

As mentioned above, it's not uncommon for training videos to need to be modified as the work changes. That's why it's also important to make sure your videos are modifiable, especially when it comes to composition.
