Skills Booster Webinar – Creating Instructional Videos

Posted November 2020

The Transportation Learning Center hosted its second Skills Booster learning event for its consortium and committee members on November 10, 2020. Skills Booster webinars are opportunities for transit trainers and others to gain knowledge and explore new skills on trending technologies.

Last week’s event showcased Filmora, a video editing software that is easy to use for people who are new to video editing and do not need high-end capabilities and features. Transit trainers often need to create instructional video “on the fly” to enhance classroom content or to deploy instant or “just-in-time” learning.

Brandon Liu, one of the Center’s Instructional Systems Designers, demonstrated basic features of Filmora including importing, editing video, recording/editing audio, text and captioning, and exporting to various formats.
