In my experience, videos about how to cut wood or use tools are infinitely better than reading the equivalent text. Videos about writing software are infinitely worse than text. The difference is that wood and tools are 3D objects, software is text.
- runevault 3y agoI'd say it depends on the software. If you are just writing code that manipulates text, I completely agree. If you're dealing with 3d rendering such as Blender or game engines, if you're dealing with audio like DAWs, etc that have components beyond the raw text, video can have value because just staring at the code or similar doesn't tell you what watching/hearing it in motion will.
