# Creating Video Tutorials

A video is worth a thousand words or maybe a few more. At Signify we create short tutorial videos to impart knowledge regarding general questions and the functionality of our system and tools. The following list will serve as a guide on how to create videos

- **Time Limit:** Video nuggets must be shorter than 10 min and to the point
- **Naming Convention:** {Description regarding Topic}\_{Version of System}
- **Language:** English
- **Recording Tool: [Loom, ](https://www.loom.com/)[ShareX](https://getsharex.com/), [Apowersoft ](https://www.apowersoft.com/free-online-screen-recorder)**
    - Any video recorder is allowed, as long as it does not leave a watermark in the background of the video after recording
- **Theme**: Record videos with neutral Signify theme and Signify logo. Do not record video on client’s system.
- **Data**: Use proper real-life data in your videos. Avoid using “test” data (e.g. random names like “Frankie's first pathway test”

**Where to upload your videos?**

Signify has a YouTube channel for the purpose of storing your hard work in creating them. While uploading select the correct playlist, there is a playlist per module . All videos either fall under one of the following categories**:**

**Technical:** Videos of a more technical nature or that is not for public distributions. Videos of these type are unlisted and placed in unlisted playlist
