Here’s a step-by-step checklist to guide you through the process:

1. Define Your Objective:
   Clearly express the main purpose of your video. What do you want your viewers to learn or understand after watching it?
2. Choose a Niche:
   Select a specific topic or concept that can be appropriately explained in one to two minutes. Keep it focused and concise.

3. Scripting:
• Write a script that outlines the key points you want to cover. Be concise and avoid unnecessary details.
• Use clear and simple language to make the content easily understandable.
• Aim for a brief introduction, concise explanation, and a memorable conclusion.

4. Visual Sketch:
Create a visual sketch or outline to plan the sequence of visuals and text that will accompany your narration. This helps ensure a smooth flow.

5. Gather Visual Media:
Collect images, graphics, animations, or video clips that support your explanation. Ensure they are relevant and enhance comprehension.

   • Arrange the visuals to match your script and narration.
   • Add text overlays or captions as needed to reinforce key points.
   • Keep transitions simple and smooth.

8. Timing:
   Ensure that your video does not exceed the one- to two-minute timeframe. Edit and trim as necessary to meet this goal.
9. Background Music:
   If you choose to include background music, ensure it complements the content and does not overpower your narration.

10. Review and Revise:
    • Watch the video multiple times to check for clarity, pacing, and overall effectiveness.
    • Make any necessary revisions to improve the video’s impact.

11. Final Export:
    Export your video in a suitable format and resolution for the platform where you plan to share it (e.g., YouTube, Vimeo, social media).
12. Thumbnail and Title:
    Create an engaging thumbnail image and choose a clear, descriptive title that encourages viewers to click on your video.

13. Upload and Share:
    Upload your video to your chosen platform. Also, share it on relevant social media channels or websites to reach your target audience.
14. Monitor Engagement:
    Keep an eye on viewer engagement metrics, such as views, likes, comments, and shares. Also, respond to comments and engage with your audience to foster a sense of community.

15. Evaluate and Iterate:
    • Analyze the performance of your video and gather feedback.
    • Use this information to improve your future explanation or teaching videos.

By following this checklist and refining your process over time, you can create effective and engaging one- to two-minute teaching videos that effectively convey your message.
