Adam,
Great job with your tutorial. This is a very useful topic, corporate users always forget how to export their outlook data for backup purposes, or to export to another computer.
Pacing was good, and I like how you used different graphics at the beginning during your introduction.
One suggestion. The ending section on opening the backup at first felt more like importing the data to a new computer. Maybe add something to indicate that part is to verify the export. Or you may want to split your video into two separate parts: 1. Exporting from Outlook, 2. Verify outlook data/Importing data to outlook.
This could be helpful for your novice users, since your sceencaps would show outlook (without any existing folders, if you do this on a system with a new outlook install). Then they would see the folders actually import into outlook. Also this would shorten the number of steps needed to complete the tutorial. That itself can be beneficial for allowing the novice users feel successful. When working with my teachers, I've found that small digestible chunks work way better than the entire appetizer all at once. :-)

Hi Adam,
Exporting Outlook data is a relevant topic for many people. As you mentioned in your video, particularly for those who want .pst files on a corporate server exported to a local computer. As Ross mentions, it is also a great way to back up Outlook data.
One thing that caught my attention was your use of different graphics during the introduction. This emphasized the purpose and benefits of your video by using a multi-modal approach. Your voice was clear and confident.
Overall a great instructional video. The only suggestion I have is to consider removing the text from the slide which includes the "Company Mail Server, Personal Data File, and Local Computer." This would make it consistent with the rest of the video by using your mouse to point out the images instead. However, I don't think it diminishes the quality of your video in any way.
Thank you for a great and helpful instruction.

Hi Laureen,
Thank you so much for your feedback! It's funny that you suggested removing the text from the slide. I was on the fence with that one. Didn't know which would prove better. I like your justification for continuity throughout the video. Excellent point! This nugget of insight will definitely go into my next instructional video. Now that I've done one and have gleaned some great ideas from our classmates, I'm kinda hooked on the process. ;)
Aloha Kaua!

Hey Boy!
You have a very thorough video on how to export and back-up MS Outlook data. I like how you emphasize the importance of backing up one's information. There's far too many of us that don't practice this habit, myself included!
I liked how when you clicked on an area in your video that your mouse created this circled to bring the learner's attention to that particular point. How did you do that? It's really neat and handy to include that in all instructional videos!
The only suggestion I have for you is to perhaps use a headset with a built-in mic so that your voice comes in more defined and stronger. There was a very slight echo/feedback from the room you were recording in. It could just be me though!
Overall, a good video for folks using Outlook and need to export their data! You sounded very professional and confident about the content. Cheers!

Hi Macy,
Thank you for your thoughtful and constructive feedback! Talk about a simple solution to something that bugged the heck out of me. Even though I noticed the reverb in my audio, I never once thought, "Hey, why don't you try using your headset microphone?" Thank you for pointing that out. I feel like a putz but much wiser for it! ;)
To answer your question about the cursor effect, you can enable this feature within your control panel. If you're running Windows 7, right-click on your desktop and select 'personalize' from the drop down menu. In the dialog window that pops up, click on the 'change mouse pointers' link on the left hand side. In the mouse properties window, the pointer options tab at the top. At the bottom of that window you will see 'show location of pointer when I press the CTRL key'.
That's it! I wish there were other visual effects to this section but I'm not about to complain. ;)
