Premiere Pro CS6 for Beginners

No time to watch - I'll look later (I was curious why your company neeed internal training on PP. Now I understand.)

Quick "typo":

He came to us from a magical, far-away land known called New York,

Good luck!

Thanks for pointing out the typo, can't believe I never noticed that.

As for needing internal PPro training, it's more for our customers than for our employees (since I'm the only one who does video here.) The company I work for (day job) is a software reseller, and one of my job duties is to create software tutorials for the company youtube page.
 
Two things I'd recommend.

First, use a screen with a higher resolution. Yours is a bit 'stuffy'. 1920 x 1080 really should be considered the minimum for CS6.

Second, for a beginner tutorial on the user interface, you should probably use the default GUI. Yours has been adjusted, so what new users see on their version will be slightly different from what you show them in the tutorial.
 
I have two suggestion: talk a bit slower, for non-native English speakers you talk way too fast.
Pause for a moment when hitting a button or function.
 
Ann - You are not the first person to tell me that. In fact, even for some native English speakers, I talk way too fast.

Thanks for the feedback guys, I will definitely keep it in mind when I do my next tutorial.
 
It's a strange thing that a lot of Prem Pro tutorials I've found on Youtube (I'm just a beginner) feature a guy who seems to be in a hyper-active, quick-speaking, must-get-this-over-with quickly state of mind. They seem to forget that although THEY know the software inside out, the viewer does not. It makes me nervous just listening and doesn't help in the learning process. I got a copy of a Lynda.com tutorial off Ebay for a few quid and that's the best I've found so far. It's not as though the speaker talks slowly the whole time (he doesn't) but that he slows down when emphasising the important points and talks in a fairly relaxed way. Having said that, I think the video mentioned in this thread is well put together, it just needs a calmer voiceover.
 
David, I don't think that it's so much a "let's get this over quickly" mentality. I believe it has more to do with the fact that editors are used to working in a specific rhythm, and their mind is going faster than their mouth. Myself at least, I feel like if my voice doesn't keep up with my brain, I will wind up skipping a step or I will forget what I was doing, because my brain is three steps ahead of the tutorial that I'm recording.

Also, I'm a coffee junkie, so I talk fast to begin with.
