So what’s this all
about?
In this chapter, we will provide information on:

- The Video Manual as a learning tool and how to use it

- The story of the YouTrain project

- The team behind YouTrain
Welcome to our video manual on “How to produce video tutorials for non-
formal education: step-by-step from scripting to filming and editing” This is
a video manual with the approach of combining text, pictures and videos in
order to reach different ways of learning and different target groups.
So, if you really enjoy reading and understanding things in a logical and
coherent way, the written part will please you. If you are more into videos and
being able to pause, go back and re-watch, than the videos included in this
manual will be up in your alley.
To complement all the content, we included pictures of behind the scenes, the
production, the team, and others that will enrich this story and this learning
tool.
This video manual is based on our experience of filming video tutorials on non-
formal education methods during the Method Lab Training Course that took
place from the 28th of October to the 3rd of November 2019, in Payerbach,
Austria. During that time we were preparing and filming 15 methods, and for
each one recorded additionally 15 separate interviews with trainers (or more if
you ‘lose’ some footage - yep, that is a spoiler …)
