With increased access to affordable equipment and tools that allow everyone to make high-quality video, L&D professionals often find they're being asked to do more video creation, but aren't video experts. To build your video creation skills, you need to know more than just how your equipment works and what makes good instructional video---you'll also want to uncover what problems and issues commonly arise and what you can do about them. This session will explore seven 'deadly sins' of video creation. While they won't actually kill you, they can make your production more frustrating and your final video less effective. Take a closer look at these common video creation mistakes and find out what you can do to avoid or overcome them. This session was recorded at the ATD 2019 TechKnowledge conference in West Palm Beach, Florida.
