If you have a series of related videos that you want to present together, or a long video you want to cut into shorter pieces, creating a playlist may be a good solution. Today I’ll talk about setting up a series of related videos using a playlist.
So what is a playlist? It’s a series of videos that play one after another from start to finish. For example we use a playlist for our blogs, but they’re also great for training videos, frequently asked questions, client testimonials… any series of related videos.
Outdoor lighting produces a cool, blue tint, while incandescent light, like your basic house lamp give a warmer feel. Fluorescent lights fall in the middle of the color temperature spectrum. If you’ve never noticed this, stand near a window in your living room and look back and forth between the window (outside), and the inside of the room. You’ll notice a difference between the warmer color in the room (more yellow), and the bluer/cooler color outside the window.
When it comes to video you may not have thought about whether or not music makes a difference. But it actually is a pretty important factor to consider. Today I’ll talk about the some of the benefits and best uses of background music.

No matter how easy I may make it look, being on camera is not effortless. There are a few things everyone should do before recording.
The single most important part of preparing to be on camera is practice. Read your script out loud in front of a mirror several times. Keep practicing until it feels less like you’re reading a script and more like you’re having a conversation. You may also want to invite family, friends or co-workers to watch and critique.
