Creating Video Articles is a fantastic way to increase your
reach, make information more accessible to your readers and create
interactive content for your students, consultants or employees.
Creating Video Articles is a fast, easy and affordable way to provide
multimedia content. Here's a "super-easy-tip" to get you started.
1. Write an article and print off the page so that you have it in front of you.
2. Next, open up PowerPoint or Word and create a single page or slide. Take care not to clutter your slide with too many words. It is most effective to either have a single comment or a captivating title and one brief comment. If you like, you can add an image, or if you prefer, simply use plain text. For the purpose of this "super-easy-tip" our video will show a single slide for the duration of the video.
3. For this Video Article use JingProject, a free Screen Capture Video Program that allows you to record up to five minutes of video for free! (See "Video Tips" below for detailed ideas and instructions on using Jing.)
OK - Open up Jing and capture your PowerPoint or Word Document while reading your article aloud. You can record up to five minutes worth of video with Jing. You may need to start over a few times but not to worry. Once you've done this a few times you'll become more comfortable with the process.
4. Now that you have your video, you can take the embedded code and post your video on your website or blog.
5. Congratulations - you just created your first Video Article!
There is a whole world of possibilities as to things you can do with video and with your video articles.
