How to write a VIDEO SCRIPT for your online course (sound more natural)

[@PodiaTV]

What kind of experience have you had delivering on camera? What's your favorite way to write?

[@maxtobias6034]

i guess im asking randomly but does anyone know of a trick to get back into an instagram account..? I was stupid forgot the account password. I love any tips you can give me

[@ianetatuia2464]

Not much experience except I can only record and upload video/music we're making on KZbin. My favorite way to write is paper and pen.

[@johnriordan3537]

Are use voice to text capture - I do exactly what you described - but I just speak freely and don’t even have to worry about typing! I capture it all into text, then I go back and clean it up, rewrite, etc. The free flow is really easy when I’m just speaking out loud as if I’m speaking to an audience. Everything gets captured and I can clean it all up later.

Very good content Ben. Have been watching your videos only for the past week or so and I find it to be very useful. The content is well broken down for consumption by someone who is trying to get the first online course shipped. Thanks

[@Healthception]

I can totally agree`!

[@lewislindsey1946]

Very well thought out, structured and presented.

These have been great, Ben! Excited to see Podia double-down on video since that's what so many of us are doing with the platform. I've definitely found scripting the on-camera portions to be really helpful, then screencast/presentation sections can be more improvisational because it's easier to edit. I still don't feel completely comfortable on camera, but having the script actually makes it feel more natural/authentic because I don't have to think about what I'm saying while recording.

[@PodiaTV]

Bryan Zavestoski Thank you, Bryan! It’s really interesting how different people approach speaking on camera. I have a friend who essentially writes the script in his head and delivers it from memory. I actually really enjoy going off the cuff, but if I didn’t use a script, I would have a ridiculous amount of footage to edit 😆. What kind of material do you teach?

[@bryanzavestoski4741]

@@PodiaTV Yeah, love hear about different processes. It definitely takes some time to figure out what works for you. I like the unscripted stuff if the goal is more entertainment, but prefer something more concise and scripted when it's more educational. My main course right now is about user interface animation (meaningfulmotionui.com/course). Currently working on a podcast and some other projects around productivity and consistently doing creative work, but will probably come back to the design stuff next year (Webflow + After Effects probably).

Excellent video Ben! A lot of my videos are software training so most times I do not show my face but I have experimented with my face in the corner, I mostly use Camtasia for screen recording. For scripts, I always used to script everything out word for word, but to save time, now I just script out the highlights, practice several times and then record. It’s more natural and faster except I usually have to edit out my rambling. 😁

[@lpodcastnsophia]

and how could you describe your experience using Camtasia ? Is it good and practical ?

[@nickcsuki8123]

Started writing my script. Thanks for creating such amazing content!

[@TheeMelindaJones]

Thanks, easy to understand.

Thanks for the hybrid voice hint, very essential

[@EnglishWithDinela]

THIS WAS SO HELPFUL, THANK YOU!

[@marcelrodeka]

Thanks for that. Sitting at a computer is definitely my approach to writing

[@Angell_Lee]

WOW, thank you sooo much! ❤

[@lpodcastnsophia]

Very helpful and clear ! Thanks

[@simplissimeweb]

Yeah !! Do more videos like this !! It's great

[@LifeinGlow]

Is there a way to update a lesson after launching the course? To make it better or more up-to-date, however without losing comments to the lesson? 🤔 Or at least to add a 2nd video in the same lesson, perhaps it can be better than substituting in some cases. Same about pdf and any supplementary materials.

[@ThampiShalini]

Thanks so much. Was very helpful! Well I love to type my ideas out. I also love to have just a pencil and book and sketch my ideas out.

[@nourishingrowth]

Great! Very helpful thanks!

Very helpful. Thank you.

Nice lessons I like that

[@Eduforall_]

unfortunately since it's my first time I don't understand what a script is because I have never seen one. Do you have an example?

[@mamadib.camara8683]

Hi international Professional that on your explanations. Yea- may almighty help us succeeded with our advantages.

[@motleyassortment5512]

I ❤ Descript, but it doesn't integrate with other the different online website or other app, just a handful of them.

[@unnikmenon3495]

I am better at writing than dictating. Sometimes I dictate from a script. But for all that I am a confident speaker. I am just afraid of the permanence of recording.

[@PodiaTV]

That's definitely a common fear. One thing I do to make myself feel better is to look back at earlier videos from creators I admire (or even my own earlier videos). It reminds me that everyone starts somewhere and encourages me because I can see how my videos have improved over time 😊

[@unnikmenon3495]

@@PodiaTV Yes, that is what I am going to do. Start recording my presentations on video.

when I click on links in the menu on the website, the pages are blank white?

[@waterrockwellness6484]

What program can I use to edit a ZOOM recorded webinar? What's the best way to record a course?

[@americoveloz]

Hello WaterRockWellness, you can use OBS, its very easy to use. Here is a video explaining how to use it kzbin.info/www/bejne/qWGknYN3eNxmo7M
