More than the Method

Readable Videos are created using a simple method that's similar to screencasting. You might wonder: If it's simple, why do I need a course? I'm so glad you asked!

It's not enough to record words on your screen. To be effective, you'll need best practices for designing, organizing, and animating words and visuals in your video.

Along with the production method, the course covers:

• Kinetic Typography: Learn best practices for animating words to relate meaning and emotion
• Accessibility: Account for visual impairments like blindness or color blindness
• Readable Design: Understand what fonts, formatting, layout, and colors work best
• Useful Animations: Discover what animations to use in specific situations
• DIY Visuals: Use drawing tools in presentation software to create your own visuals
• Clarity and Explanation: Learn lessons from The Art of Explanation and other Explainer Academy courses

You'll be surprised by how much there is to learn. These skills can be applied to other creative projects like presentations, normal videos, and more.

This spring, we rolled out a new online course on creating Readable Videos. Since then, we've heard great feedback and have now included a few additions to the course. Let's take a look:

The Readable Videos method doesn't depend on a specific tool or platform. We only need to display words and visuals on the screen. Google Slides is a free and very useful tool for creating Readable Videos, so we created a new chapter to show you how.

This new chapter provides a walk-through for every part of the process. You'll learn:

• How to use Google Slides for your video
• How to draw and manipulate shapes
• Two animation techniques
• How to record your screen
• How to turn your videos into animated GIFs

The instruction happens via short video walk-throughs:
