Final Thoughts
What You Will Learn?
- As the author of over a dozen books, both fiction and nonfiction, I've found that book videos can be useful at every stage of the publishing process, including:.
- Fortunately, the technology is so easy that anyone with an iPad or other tablet or smartphone can shoot a high-quality video, add photos or video footage, make simple edits, and publish to online platforms..
- This class walks through every step of the process that I use to make videos to promote my books. I'll show you all the equipment and free software I use, and walk you through every step of the process I use..
- For those of you who have different equipment and software, I'll suggest alternatives. The basic concepts are the same no matter what you use to make your video. .
- I've also added a new guide to writing a 60-90 second script, where we will work line-by-line to tell the story behind the story. And I've added a few new tips for video editing..
- This class will also work for anyone who wants to make a talking head-style video interspersed with photos and video clips on any subject at all, but my examples are all going to be specific to book videos..
