A training video creator to better share your knowledge

Within companies, creating videos for training is essential as learning is increasingly happening remotely. Videos combine visuals and auditory elements to facilitate learning and better memorisation of the topic. Moreover, companies provide video tutorials (for example, mini online courses) allowing learners to train in a few minutes on a subject.

Thanks to Pitchy, one of the best sofware solutions, users can create professional training videos easily with their own video clips and pimp them with customised animations at a competitive cost.

To begin with, you need to think about the objectives of the video and the content of the course. Is it to be a relatively short course (more of a video tutorial type), or a slightly longer course (micro-learning or e-learning type)?

Based on this, you will determine a storyboard for your video and then edit the various scenes. With Pitchy, if you wish, you can skip this step by choosing a predefined video template directly on the platform.

To make the message as clear as possible, you can use screen recordings to guide your learners step by step.

It is important to add visual elements with annotations to make the content clearer and more explicit, such as text, icons or pictograms that will draw learners' attention to a specific area of your video.

If you want your training video to be truly effective, add a voice-over (from the trainer, for example, or a text-to-speech synthesis to create a vocal content from text). You can also add subtitles to capture the attention of your learners.

All these features are available on Pitchy's software; you only need a few clicks to create an effective training video!

To create a good video tutorial, it's recommended to follow the steps below:

1. Prepare the script, storyboard and sequencing: define the objective(s) of your video, what should people learn and retain from it?
2. If, for example, your video tutorial requires screen recording, be sure to close all your tabs and windows that are not relevant to your video. The idea is to record an environment without unnecessary information.
3. If you need to use video capture, set the scene for your speaker. To start with, opt for quality equipment: a smartphone with a camera with a good sensor and lens, or a professional camera. Also, take the time to set up a nice backdrop, preferably with a plain background if you want to insert interactive elements in the editing such as keywords.
4. Record a voice-over and incorporate it into your video. It's always a good idea to provide your audience with audio advice to help them understand and remember your message.
5. You now have everything you need to edit your video. Cut out any unnecessary moments (repetitions, long screen loading times, stuttering...). Dress up your video with subtitles, text, pictograms, icons, etc. Then synchronise the voice-over you've recorded. If you like, you can also add background music.
6. Your tutorial is now ready to be broadcast!

Pitchy's video software can help you with all these key stages in making a good video tutorial, thanks to its intuitive platform and advanced training features.
