Storyboarding & Scripting Screen Recordings That Actually Teach

Great screen recordings don’t start with the record button—they start with a solid plan. Whether you’re creating a quick system walkthrough or a full library of software tutorials, effective storyboarding and scripting can help you produce videos that are clear, engaging, and easy to maintain. In this session, Tim Slade will share his practical process for planning, scripting, and producing instructional screen recordings. You’ll learn how to structure your videos so each one stands on its own and contributes to a cohesive, on-demand learning library. Write scripts that sound conversational while still providing clear, step-by-step guidance. Script the click-by-click actions that keep your narration and visuals perfectly aligned—and make recording and editing easier. Plan your workflow to record audio and on-screen actions separately, then combine them efficiently during post-production. You’ll leave with a repeatable framework to storyboard, script, and produce screen recordings that not only show what to do—but teach why it matters.
