Congratulations, @SierraTR. This is an excellent video tutorial with a well-written script. You explain things very clearly and methodically.

A few suggestions:

• It will be helpful to use red arrows or boxes to help guide the reader's eye and highlight what is being spoken about. For example, 3:38 to 4:33.
• 1:58 - 2:41 Use 5 different slides to help the reader stay on track and follow what is being said. The slide has too much text/info, and I lost track of what was being said as I tried to read and listen.
• 5:16 - 5:40 Any chance you can add a screen recording of you actually doing it / dummy example?
• 5:41 - 6:17 Could you add one or two extra slides for variation?

Once again, well done!!

Thanks Wes, those are good suggestions. I'll begin working on them.

Hey @SierraTR

• 2:18 - 2:45 This part was a bit confusing to me. It is important for a learner to only see the words you are saying or an image /graphic, as it is tough to focus if you hear one thing and read something different.
• 4:13 - 4:41 Same as the comment above 😉
• 5:41 - 6:17 Still think adding one or two extra slides for variation would help Will DM you with an idea.

Almost there Check: 2:04 - 2:11, that slide must not be there - was correct on previous version. 😃

Thank you for all the work that has gone into this, @SierraTR

[SierraTR]
