- Use OBS (Open Broadcaster Software) Studio for recording your screen and/or camera.
- Use FlowBlade for cuts/editing (which you will need for anything longer than a couple of minutes)
- Use either FFmpeg (CLI) or handbrake (GUI for ffmpeg) to compress/re-encode videos if needed (not needed if you only upload the videos to YouTube).
- Contact Hyperledger Staff about publishing videos to the Hyperledger YouTube channel., they are very helpful!
- Rehearse it once or twice: You'll most likely not going to get it right on the first take.
- Timestamp/date & specify the versions of software you are using/demonstrating in the video.
- The content will still be outdated after some time, but it won't become incorrect (as opposed to if you said "the latest version of X")
- Could even help with legacy projects years later.
- Do not assume that the things you do every single day are easy for everyone.
- Try to look for ideas in daily chores/tasks that feel simple (to you) but could be difficult initially to others

- Getting started videos for contributors per specific projects
- Environment setup videos - even if there are docs about it some people prefer video so it's worth the extra effort to produce the video covering the same topics
- Film someone going through the tutorial from A to Z. Sometimes you see something written but you are not sure how to interpret what is written or the output.
- User community / developer community / operator community => focus on these different areas with specific intent
- John Carpenter First time contributors do not understand a lot of times what the DCO means or what it is for.
- List of reasons to contribute, how to become a contributor and showcasing the process elements of it
- Short(er) video on the mentorship program (there is a longer one, but people don't necessarily watch it)
- Orientation to Hyperledger as a starting point. People see the list of projects and their head just spins. Succinct videos about how to get started with each project.
- How to convince your management team to contribute. Developers who'd want to be contributors to a project or maintainers: how should they approach the conversation.
