Getting Through Your First Video Alive - Video Survival Course
Matt Pierce spoke with video creators to help you learn key skills to survive creating your first or 30th video. Join guests with expertise in visual storytelling, video editing, getting feedback, and more.
Making that first video can feel like a struggle. It’s hard to know where to start and which of the skills, techniques, and concepts you need to know to be successful. However, it doesn’t have to be difficult and you’re DEFINITELY not alone! We’re here to help you survive your first video, and to do so, we’re hosted a free live event.
This course features multiple video experts that understand what’s needed to make a solid video. During the course, you’ll learn video basics like visual storytelling, basics of editing, the power of getting feedback, and more. Hear from host Matt Pierce, Learning & Video Ambassador (TechSmith) as he talks with Owen Video (Thevideospot.net), Buddy Scalera (Content Strategist), Jason Valade, Master Trainer (TechSmith), Danny Wittenborn, Product Strategtegy Manager (TechSmith), and Amanda Robinson (Social Savvy Society) as they share tips, techniques, and ideas for getting through your first video project (against all odds!).
The video was recorded September 20, 2018, and is now available on demand.
