- Let's talk employee training videos.
It's cost effective to create them in-house
with the team you have,
it's gonna save you time and resources.
You get better engagement.
73% of people said, when it comes to learning material,
that they would choose to watch a video.
You can make it interactive, you can add a quiz at the end
and also it's fair to everybody.
Everybody gets the same level of enthusiasm
and the same standard of training
which is why, in this video, I'm gonna give you my template
for creating a script.
I'll teach you how to record, edit, download,
and share your employee training video.
By the end of this video,
you'll have created a training video
that looks something like this.
And best of all, it is all done using one tool, VEED.
So let's get straight into the video.
Here's how to create an employee training video.
This is how you should structure each segment
of your training video.
Introduction.
Tell the viewer what they're watching
and what they'll be learning in the video itself.
Why it's important.
If the viewers don't see value in your video,
then why would they watch it?
Demonstration.
This is where you either demonstrate or explain
how to do the task.
Finished result.
You're gonna show what the end result
is supposed to look like,
just to give everybody a clear overview of the goal
and what they're going to be working towards.
Benefit and step recap.
You're gonna list all the benefits
of knowing how to do the task
and give a super quick overview of the steps.
Call to action, tell them what they need to do next.
You can add in a quiz
or you can tell them where to click on screen
to move over to the next segment.
Now just a few extra tips when it comes to your script.
You're gonna use a conversational tone.
Make sure to keep it short and sweet.
You don't want people to lose focus
and you're gonna use simple, clear language
that's easy to follow.
For recording our video,
we're gonna be using VEED's built in recorder
because with VEED,
we can record both ourselves and a screen or slides
at the same time.
Now this is perfect
for talking employees through the training
while showing them how it's done on screen.
And the other reason we're gonna be using this
is because we can record each topic separately as a scene
and then VEED's gonna compile all of our segments
into one video automatically.
So to get started, just click the first link
down in the description.
Now we're in VEED, click Record
and you can choose whichever layout's
going to work best for you.
For this, I'm gonna choose Slides & Camera.
Next, upload your slides and you can choose to upload a PDF
or if you've used Google Slides, choose that option.
And then once they're loaded, you can click on settings
to choose your preferred camera and mic option.
Now we can style and customize our video lecture
by clicking on Themes.
And in here we have a couple of different choices.
So you can just click on them to test them out.
And if you don't like the colors or the patterns,
we can change them by clicking on Background.
You can then choose an ombre color
or if you don't like that
you can click on the search bar and type in any word
and it's gonna show you potential photos.
Another option is the Color tab.
You're gonna click on it and choose a block color.
Or if you have your own company branding,
you can click on the Upload tab and import that.
The choice is yours
so just take your time here
until you're happy with how it looks.
Now the next tool that we're gonna use to our advantage
is the prompter.
You can paste your script in here
or you can even type out bullet points
that you wanna cover in this video.
And the beauty of it is, is that when we record it
and then we watch it back,
you're not gonna see that teleprompter on screen.
Once you've entered the text,
you can adjust the settings
by changing the speed at which it appears on screen.
You can also change the color of the text,
the size of the text,
and you can make the background light or dark.
And then you're just gonna drag that over
to the corner of the screen
so you can see which slide you're on.
Now we're ready to record our training video,
we're gonna hit Record.
You'll get a three second countdown
and the recording will begin.
Then you can hit the Play button on your teleprompter
and you can also use the arrows down here
to move over to the next slide.
And then once you're finished, hit Stop.
You'll then be taken to this page
where you have one last chance
to change the background and theme.
And then you can click New Scene to record the next segment.
Down at the bottom here,
you'll see the option to replace slides.
You're gonna click that
and then upload your next set of slides
for the next segment of the training video.
And then once that's loaded,
just repeat the same steps as before
to set up your teleprompter and hit Record.
Now, once you're finished recording that segment, hit Stop.
And if you need to add more scenes,
you're just gonna keep repeating this
until you have the video finished.
Now we can edit our training video.
So just click Edit Video up the top.
The first thing we can do is trim the footage.
So if you've made any mistakes, we can correct that now.
You're gonna play the video
then pause it at the start of the mistake, then click Split.
Now play the video again, pause it at the end of the mistake
and click Split.
And then you're just gonna right click
on the portion that you wanna remove and hit Delete.
You can now hover your mouse
between the two clips and click on the bin to close the gap.
Now let's add some transitions between our scenes
just so that there's a very clear cut ending and beginning.
So to do that,
we're just gonna click transitions in the left toolbar.
And in here, we've got lots of choices.
You can just hover your mouse over each one
to see how they work.
Then click on the box between the clips
and choose your favorite transition.
And you can just repeat this for each scene and segment.
Now, another thing that you can do
to style your video
is you can change the shape of the video itself.
So we're just gonna click on our face recording.
And where you see it says here, Round Corners,
you're gonna turn that all the way up to 100
to make it circular.
And then you can just click, hold, and drag your video
to another part of the screen.
Now, another thing we can do
to make our video a little bit more interesting
is to add a moving element such as a GIF.
So to do that, you're just gonna move your playhead
over to the point in the video
that you want your GIF to appear.
And then you're gonna click Elements in the toolbar.
Scroll down and you'll see here
we have GIFs and animated stickers.
So I'm gonna click Search next to GIFs.
We're just gonna search for the one that we want
and then choose our favorite option.
And then once that's loaded, we can then resize it
and we can move it anywhere on screen.
Now the next thing we're gonna do is add subtitles
so that our employees can easily follow along
with the training video.
So to do that, we're just gonna click Subtitles
in the left tool bar.
Click Auto Subtitle, choose your language,
and click Create Subtitles.
Now that's gonna work away
and that's gonna magically transcribe all of that audio
so you don't have to.
And then once it's finished,
you're just gonna watch it all the way through
just to make sure it hasn't misheard
or misinterpreted any of the words that you've said.
And if that has happened, it is a very, very simple fix.
All you're gonna do is click on the word that's wrong,
delete it, and type out the correct word.
Now, once all the mistakes have been corrected
you're just gonna click on the Styles tab
and you can choose any of these pre-made animated templates.
Or we can customize our own by
choosing our own font, size, text color, effect color.
We can add an animation and we can also add an effect.
Now the last thing that I wanna add
is background music.
So just make make sure your playhead
is at the very beginning of your video.
Then you're just gonna click Audio in the toolbar.
Next to Stock Audio, click Search.
And in here, it's all filtered by genre
so you can just take your time,
find the one that's going to be right for you
and then once you have it, select it.
And if it's longer than your video
you're just gonna push it over in the timeline
so that it ends in sync with your video.
Now click on it
and we're just gonna turn that audio down to under 10%.
And if you like, you can turn on the fade in and fade out
for your music.
Now, that's all ready to go,
we can go ahead and export our employee training video.
Click Export in the top right hand corner,
choose your render settings,
make sure Burn Subtitles is marked as on
and then click Export Video.
Now you're gonna give that a moment here to render
and then you can watch it all the way through
just to make sure you're happy with it.
And then click Download and Download MP4.
You can also send the video link directly to employees
by typing in their email
or you can copy the link and share it that way.
There's also the option to embed it on your website
which is perfect
if you have an internal HR site to track training.
And if your employees have any questions,
they can open up the chat tab, type in a question
and add a timestamp
which then allows you to click on that timestamp
to see what they're referring to.
And then you can answer that question directly on VEED.
It's a really helpful tool while training employees.
And that's it.
That's how to make employee training videos.
I really hope you found this video helpful, guys,
and I will see you in the next one. Bye.
