There is an associated problem we've seen in screencasting
For every minute of screentime, there is time requirement for writing, practicing, filming, editing, fixing bad takes, etc.
While I can whip up a presentation quickly, videos take quite a bit more.
The pros make it look easy, but it isn't
- hn_throwaway_99 3y agoI feel the opposite though for lots of internal communication. I often see so much time that (to me) feels wasted when employees do tons of "polish" for slide decks for internal teams. Like you're just communicating to other employees, the goal is just to get the information across, not make it a work of art. With a video I can quickly just say what needs to be communicated, but then with some highlighted bullets (which I'm assuming Vids will make it easy to timestamp) to make it easier to reference. Again, I think it really depends on the audience and purpose, but if used efficiently I think lots of time wasted on slide deck prep could be regained.
- azinman2 3y agoAll communications should be ideally polished. That’s you taking the time to refine your ideas and package it so those who listen to you can focus on the message and story you want to tell them, and not be distracted by irrelevant details, guesses, or just sloppy work.
- baby 3y agoI hear you but I polish my loom videos so they can be as short and concise as possible. And by polish I mean I rerecord myself like 5 times
- baby 3y agoThat’s why I got excited here. If I could just record short videos and then easily create something that stitch all of that then it would simplify the flow greatly.
