The story worth telling

Internal videos often assume the viewer knows which account, role or dataset to use. State those preconditions before the first click. Then follow the task through to the point where the next person can take over.

Three things to capture

  1. The correct starting workspace
  2. The task and required choices
  3. The saved result or handover state

Let the camera run a little before and after each action. Those extra seconds give you room to find a better cut.
