Hey everybody. Here's my first video: http://www.screencast.com/t/2oHrVlkpkF
I have been tasked with creating tutorial videos for the software program our company sells. It is a retail management program for the independent retail jeweler, so forgive the dry subject matter.
Let me know your thoughts. I welcome criticism as I am new and am looking to get the most out of this.

I'm not a jeweler and enjoyed your video.
Well thought out. Great table of contents.
Minor points:
I would get rid of the green zooming box and possibly use callout arrows to highlight choices.
Great video!

Great first video. I am still in the process of producing my first and I hope to be able to come up with half the quality as yours. I'm producing a tutorial on the use of a timekeeping program.
Thanks for sharing.

Hello DMastri.
Great first video... Your voice is clear and you modulate your phrases well (vs. being monotone). That goes a long way towards keeping your viewers interested.
Really nice first effort. Overall, quite interesting and well presented.

Well done. The information was well organized and presented. Really liked the summary at the end. As others have said, your audio was well done.
Two tiny things I'd consider - one, I always like to do a "fade" in on my items in ppt lists. I use the "very fast" speed. I don't know why, but I find the plain "appear" to be a bit harsh, but that might just be me. Second, on the summary page, you initially had the mouse on the screen. It was a slip I'm sure, but I find that distracting. I remember doing the same thing on my first video. I finished producing it, and went to watch it and realized I had my mouse floating on the title screen!!!
Excellent effort for your first one - congrats!!

On the first and last slide of the presentation, I noticed that you basically read the slide to the audience. This is generally a big no-no in the world of training with presentations.
You might consider imagery or shorter phases which supplement or highlight what you are reading.
On the presentation itself - Was there a second mouse arrow on the screen ? There was one that you were moving and another "bigger" one that was on the screen also.
Audio was generally clean and clear.
