A seminar titled "Effective Video Manual Creation Methods and Key Points (with Exercises)" will be held on January 27, 2015, hosted by Japan Tech Center Co., Ltd.
This is a special course for creating video manuals that clearly convey skills and know-how that cannot be easily communicated through text alone.
Let's learn effective expression methods and precautions unique to videos, and apply them to create easy-to-understand manuals.
This content can be applied not only to videos but also to presentations.
Active writers will explain the characteristics of video manuals, production considerations, key points, and techniques for scenario writing.
