Make sure it’s not too complicated and something you feel confident implementing. For example, do you have a process for creating videos? At what points do you get stuck? See how you can simplify things. Don’t be afraid to try different tools. How can we improve video workflow using live or prerecorded video? Break it down into steps. What do you want the viewer to do when watching your video? For example, look at the overall picture. Write out what you need for a video workflow to simplify the process. Do one stage at a time.
