Create a training video in minutes
Last week we posted a blog about our new feature which enables you to share your KeyStone OnDemand created content on your blog or website. This post is going to be an overview on how you can initially create screencasts within our platform.
When our developers were creating KeyStone OnDemand, enabling administrators the ability to create, crop, and post screencasts within our platform was one of our main priorities. You see, our administrators can create training videos, catered to specific learners, and these videos can be published within minutes of creation.
That’s right, as an administrator, from the time you press the record button, to the time your end-users can view your created video, it will take less than 10 minutes, depending on the length of your tutorial.
Well, here is an overview on how it is done:
1. On the home page, scroll over Add New, and click Screencast;
2. A frame of the video will load and you will see a menu bar below the frame. You can resize the frame to fit your needs. Make sure your screen is ready for your recording and hit the red button;
3. There will be a countdown, then your recording begins;
4. Once recording, you have the ability to click “cancel,” “redo” or done” at any time. You can also pause the recording (pause button appears where the record button is). Once you are happy with your recording, click done;
5. Title the video and give it a description;
6. Click publish as long as you are ready for the selected category to view the video;
7. Be sure to assign it to a category. Note: if you do not assign it to a category you belong to, you will not be able to view it.
8. Trim the video to your preference, dragging the yellow sides;
9. At the bottom of the screen, click save and view or save and return to list to save your video.
You have just created a screencast, edited it and published it all within the same platform. Our goal is to make training easier for you, and we believe this feature is key.
