Hey everyone, welcome to this special edition
video where I'll be sharing with you my current
process for how I make tutorial videos,
just like the ones you see on my channel.
I'll show you everything I use for this, including
all of the equipment and software. I'll also show
you how I'm using AI and custom automation to
generate all the slides you see in the video and
to automatically cut and label the raw footage.
All of this has helped me to optimize my video production
workflow, reducing a process that originally took two
months, for just one video down, to just under a week.
I know this is a little different to what I normally
do on this channel, but I thought it'd
be fun to document my current process as of
today, and then in the future it'd be interesting
to look back and see how that's changed.
So let's get started.
Here's a very high level overview of the entire
process. I break it up into three distinct phases,
which is writing, recording, and editing.
In the writing phase, I create all of the content, the
coding, the transcript, and the images. Pretty much
everything that you'll see in the video itself.
This is currently the longest part and usually
takes about three to four days. Next,
I'll record the whole video in one sitting.
This usually only takes a few hours, but it's
also the hardest part of the process because
I have to be really focused that entire time.
After that, I'll do all the editing and all the YouTube
metadata, like subtitles and chapter tags.
This used to be the longest part of the process, but now it only takes about a day.
I spend a lot of time thinking about how to use technology
to improve or automate this process because
I don't have a lot of spare time to spend on making
these videos, so I have to make the most of it.
So over time, I've created some custom tooling
in Python to help me with things that are time
consuming, like generating the slide images
or automatically cutting the video for me.
The steps I've highlighted in red are the ones
where I use some level of AI or custom automation
to help me with the heavy lifting.
Now let's go ahead and dive into each of these
phases one by one. The first and most important
phase, in my opinion, is the writing.
I want my viewers to walk away with the knowledge or the
solution that they want in as little time as possible.
This usually starts with the project or the topic idea for the video.
