● An exception to the above is to capture your video in 256 colors unless there is a compelling reason not to.  If we receive a file in millions of colors, and then reduce it to 256 colors, the product will be of poorer quality than if the file were captured in 256 colors to begin with.

  ● Before you write your outline, master your subject.  Don't guess.

  ● The video capture resolution should be 640 x480 - no higher.  If you have problems doing this, please contact technical support

   ●  Don't gloss over critical points.  Nothing is more frustrating than having a teacher explain something like a computer program, and then fail to clearly explain where to put a mouse pointer in order to perform an operation.

  ● The clips will be organized on our web site in an outline with three levels:

    
   ● Begin by dividing your subject into segments that conform to the above outline.  Each clip should have a title, and should be  focused on a very narrow segment of information.
 
   ● Assume no prior knowledge of the subject unless you or someone else has covered the subject previously.  Imagine that you are talking to a ten-year-old student.

   ● Explain your subject completely.  Leave nothing to the imagination.  If you can't do that in less than four minutes, divide your topic further.

   ● Give us feedback.  Tell us how we can make this easier for you and give you a greater incentive to participate.
