Show the outcome first

02 / Follow these steps
Follow these steps
Record the finished result, materials and individual steps separately.
Arrange a result preview, preparation, steps and finish on the timeline.
Use PIP when a close detail or supporting image clarifies the action.
Add short step titles and keep music below the speaking voice.
Watch with sound off and check that the main steps are still understandable.
03 / Try this sequence
Try this sequence
