Here’s a description of the presentation:
Curious about video documentation?
What is it really? What are some best practices?
We are pleased to have Alicia Avarch, who will discuss video documentation, including:
• What it takes to produce animation, screencam, and talking head videos.
• Building a great user experience when you have both video and text docs.
• Bootstrapping video production without a big team or a ton of money.
• Measuring the effectiveness of video.

About Tom Johnson
I'm an API technical writer based in the Seattle area. On this blog, I write about topics related to technical writing and communication — such as software documentation, API documentation, AI, information architecture, content strategy, writing processes, agent skills, tech comm careers, and more. Check out my AI courses for more on the latest in AI and tech comm. If you're looking for info about documenting APIs, see my API documentation course.
If you're a technical writer and want to keep on top of the latest trends in tech comm, be sure to subscribe to email updates below. You can also learn more about me or contact me.
Finally, I want to note a couple of things. I usually write the first drafts of my posts myself and then use AI to improve accuracy, clarity, and detail in places, so my writing is a mix of human and AI. (Hopefully that's not too off-putting.) Also, the opinions I express on my blog are my own perspectives, not those of my employer.
