So, at this point I'm inclined to continue making the longer, more comprehensive overviews, but perhaps somehow including some key time references that would allow users to jump to the "chapters" in which they are particularly interested, while still managing to keeping all the relevant materials under one roof. If you are familiar with the topic at hand, a quick reference is probably what you're looking for, but if you are new to the FP platform, you probably want some way to make sense out of the bewildering array of tools and applications that are possible. So the whole thing ends up being presented more as "paint splatters on the wall" rather than any sort of connected treatise on a given topic. Additionally, each of those separate videos now require some sort of linkage back to the others, explaining all over again the why and what that has already been covered. I've thought about breaking each segment up into separate "modules," each contained in a separate video, but then those individual chapters tend to get separated from one another in YouTube. Once you make an intro and cover some basic reasons why one might want to investigate, say formatting, then introduce the basic tools (e.g., property panel, styles, conditional triggers and attributes (which can be used as triggers)), the video has quickly run out to 30 minutes again. I find that there is a great deal about the subject that I don't know as much as I thought I did.īut again, I'm running into the same old problem of how to limit length to something more traditional (i.e., 10 minutes or less). ![]() I'm currently working on a video about formatting, since questions have come up about the why and how. ![]() I'm really just a hack with this stuff, but I find that the old truth about "attempting to teach something teaches you more than when you're merely a student" is especially true for me.
