Hello!

I have just watched the video provided:

 
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2bbnyAjMeM&feature=youtu.be

I think this video is tidy. (I have not used CMIS.) The voice is nice.


I think I have kept my video as short as about two minutes. I think people will 
not have the patience. (Most people I know do not have patience.)

I also feel that "two minutes" is the key. If a video is longer than that, then 
the process must be very long. Very serious users will spend more than two 
minutes on watching such a long video.

If I need to use CMIS tomorrow (being very nervous), I will need to know how to 
do it as soon as possible. I suggest giving the audience the most important 
steps first. 


The link mentioned is for more advanced users, I believe.

Regards,
C. H. D.

Hi :)
Nicely done :)  Have you sent it to the documentation mailing list?  They might 
be interested in putting it on their page of video tutorials.  

Btw have you seen this one
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2bbnyAjMeM&feature=youtu.be
that uses an unusual sound-track and a minimalist voice to help keep people's 
attention?  

I've seen a lot of YouTube HowTos that have sound-tracks that quickly get very 
out-dated by choosing music that is very fashionable but that lacks class.  I 
don't like the particular piece of music in that link i just gave but i do like 
the way that it's unusual enough that people are unlikely to have heard it 
before and certainly not enough to get tired of it.  

Also a lot of times videos have constant chatter going on, often without really 
adding
 adding anything useful.  Lots of "umm" and "ahh" and "Here you can see that i 
am doing" or "As you can see".  The constant flow of words makes it difficult 
to translate and yet keep the timings good.  

What i really liked about the voice in the link i gave was that the speaking 
parts were short and distinct so that when it was translated from Danish into 
English the chap was able to chop up Pamela's voice and place the comments in 
exactly the right places.  So, Pamela only had to leave decent pauses between 
statements.  She didn't have to get the pauses exactly right because Leif was 
going to chop up the voice-audio and place the parts appropriately to fit the 
video and the music.  

I think the only thing missing is an srt file under the video so that people 
could download the srt and the video in order to see the  subtitles.  
Alternatively just some way people could get the script in some other text
 format.  Either way something for blind users to be able to get through their 
screen-readers.  

Anyway i really just wondered what you thought of the link.  Have you done a 
lot of these sorts of things?  Yours looked like you knew what you were doing.  
If you do write a script i might be able to get Pamela or another lady to read 
it for you as long as the script was quite short and if they could re-arrange 
it a bit to make it flow better when saying the words out loud.    

Regards from 
Tom :)
