Make Professional Looking Video to Show off Your Website

tdomf_0763d — Sun, 09 Jan 2011 01:39:52 +0000

Making a demo video to show off the Website seems to be a popular current. Haven’t you notice that there are boatloads of recruitments asking for ideal person to produce product video tutorials and sales presentations of a website on freelance discussion board? Is it really a huge gap to hire other people instead of making a professional looking video by yourself? Hope you will get the positive answer when you finish reading this article.

Why people don’t create demo video themselves?

- Tell me how to do it

There are many well-known screen recording programs like Camtasia and Captivate which allows you to create product demo or instruction video by capturing screen video. However, it is a big embarrassment that many webmasters and bloggers consider they would have to spend much time to master the software so they would rather ask others for help. Now here is another screen recorder to solve this problem that they are concerned about. DemoCreator 3.0 with Office 2007 GUI which is friendly and easy to use, if you know how to use PowerPoint, then you will get familiar with DemoCreator in minutes.

- I want to create a professional looking demo

For people who want to make their demo videos professional with amazing visual effects, they might even use video editing software which is costly and “professional-to-use”. Think over the content of your demo video and list possible special effects that can be used, nothing more than the following such as subtitles, zooming in on specific area of screen, highlight on screen, drawing a text balloon or inserting Flash animation. All these can be done easily with DemoCreator. Imagine how easy to add a text box or insert a picture in PowerPoint, DemoCreator does the same thing with little difficulty as a demo video maker.

- Voice over is the point, then?

You can make a voice-over product demonstration video with screen recorder if you have a good microphone, and DemoCreator does it as well. You might hesitate that your voice is not mature or persuasive enough to touch your audience. It is better to make a convinced script to seize them beforehand. Besides recording narration while recording, DemoCreator also allows you to record, modify the sound track and even import the sound file as narration or back ground music. In that case, you don’t have to be afraid to make mistake while recording because you can correct the mistake anytime you like.

Other advantages if create demo video on my own?

- No one knows better of your product than you

That’s the most important thing that nobody can take you place. Since you are the developer of the software or the owner of the online service, it is clear that you know the key points which should be emphasized and introduced to your audience, so you can judge when to use highlight effect, explain in details or add additional object to make your audience get better understanding of your product or service. Hiring someone and having him trained to learn the product often cost more.

- You know what demo people want to watch

Many companies like to hire a part-time employee to create demo video for them. They can be very good at making screencast video but know a little about your software or service. It often takes more time and energy to contact with him/her what your customers doubt and how to solve the problem with a screen recording video, let alone the revision many a time. In that case, it is better to make a video which is quick, simple but good to customer by yourself.

- Consider the cost

Supposing there are three demos you plan to create, then how much will you cost to pay if you hire people to make it? And how about more videos in the future? If you decide to get screen recording software which allows you to create, edit and publish professional looking demo or presentation of your product on Website, DemoCreator is a good choice since it costs only 1/3 or even less than other screen recorders, and it offers the main features that are useful and impressive. Furthermore, now you have the chance to get it for free by taking part in the official Let’s review DemoCreator event. (http://www.sameshow.com/democreator/review.html)

Hiring professional staff to create professional product demo or presentation of Website with professional screen recorder is a great idea to enhance and drive more traffic to your Website. The only thing that should be mentioned is that you can also be the ideal “professional staff” with professional yet easy-to-use screen recorder DemoCreator. All things can be simple, customized and at low cost.

The Rise of Interactive Kiosks

d.richards — Sun, 09 Jan 2011 01:39:00 +0000

Interactive kiosks have been in use since a long time, but they have become famous only recently. Although you may have come across it at many places, you may be wondering what exactly is an interactive kiosk. Simply put, they are computer terminals found in busy areas where a large number of people are expected to notice it and use it to receive public information. In western countries, it is also used to conduct financial transactions and complete self-initiated tasks like filling fuel, buying tickets, surfing the internet and the likes. There are kiosks where an individual is stationed to help out the users and provide assistance in case of need. Usually such arrangements are made at highly technological interactive kiosks where security is of prime importance.

Interactive kiosks, although in a small way, are changing the way people buy products and / or access information. The places where interactive kiosks have grown at a great speed are the self-service check-out points like the self-check in at airports, self-payment counters at malls and departments stores, etc. Interactive kiosks are mainly used by industries like retail, transportation, education, banking and other service related industries. They help companies in these industries provide better service to their customers without any interference with complete privacy. It has to be noted that ATMs, vending machines, slot machines are also part of the interactive kiosks set up.

It is hard to find a convenient system such as the interactive kiosk that reduces the human resources cost and improves the general efficiency of regular tasks as one kiosk can handle the work of a few employees easily. Besides, there is no need for training, no leave of absences and salaries or pay hikes involved with interactive kiosks.

The design of an interactive kiosk is a judicious mix of attractive design, seamless ergonomics and ease of use. To engage the customer for the first famous ‘Seven Seconds’, you need an alluring design to catch the attention and draw them closer. Thereafter, a well-thought out and well-planned design enhances the appeal even more. The kiosk are also expected to have an intuitive flow in the user interface design. The imagery and visual elements on the screen should be easy to read, understand and use. The comforts of users cannot be compromised. User-friendliness is the key factor in engrossing the user. After taking care of the kiosks’ functionality, other important area of concern involves the privacy of the information sought. Ensuring private information stays private becomes easy if the kiosk is designed properly.

These kiosks are used as a counterpart in various high-profile places such as luxury hotels, art galleries, international plazas and other locations that require much more dynamic visual appeal.

We can safely conclude that interactive kiosks are getting popular by each passing day as also new features are added to them. They often come with touch screens, keyboards, internet connectivity, card readers, scanners, printers, etc. So, they can do pretty much everything that the computers can do, and more with a much better aesthetic appeal.
