In this video we look at how to make high quality instructional content on youtube and other platforms. We specifically look at a workflow to plan out, record, and then edit picture-in-picture tutorial videos. In addition, we overview some camera equipment that you can use as well as the screen recording & video editing software tools that I recommend.

Thank you to Kylie Ying for providing some useful input for this video! :)

General strategy to record video:
1. Write out an outline you will follow for your tutorial
2. Implement reference code for project
3. Record tutorial in ~10 minute segments
4. Sync video/screen recording, cut out pauses, fix volume, add effects
5. Make professional thumbnail
6. Give video descriptive title that includes keywords users are looking for
7. Upload!
