Dear @pdenisowski
I frequently watch the videos on the R&S YouTube channel.
I think they are excellent THEORETICAL videos.
In my opinion, they need to be completed with practical videos, with real instruments, and without cuts and editing in the videos. It's you connecting the cables, the attenuators, pressing the buttons on the signal generators and the DSO/MSO, and showing the results “On Screen” from the DSO/MSO.
The idea is: if @pdnisowski does it, the user can also reproduce the tests step by step. It is in this condition that a “newbie” learns and keeps something in his mind.
About half of the 200+ videos I've made are about how to do things on our instruments. I spent the first 20 years of my career in T&M demonstrating things on real instruments using real DUTs in real labs with real customers, so I like to think I'm pretty comfortable doing that
That said, I use the "narrated PowerPoint" method even for the practical videos for a number of reasons, one of which being that the "slides" can be used for in-person, classroom training and reference, whereas a video typically has to stand alone.
Who watches your theoretical videos?
Maybe the “newbies” like me. Perhaps an “expert” does not have the patience to watch these videos considered “boring and long” and with lots of details. But “newbies” will really appreciate it. And the R&S concept will become much more popular, beyond the professional market.
The "theoretical" videos (I call them "technology" videos) are literally ten times more popular in terms of views, likes, and comments compared to the "product videos" And as of last week, the "theoretical" videos had over 3 million total views. So somebody is watching them
And again, from my experience working with thousands of T&M customers: even people who are experts in one field often want a brief (~10-15 mins) explanation of a technology or measurement they may be unfamiliar with. And they want it without chit-chat, advertising, jokes, a flashy intro/outro, etc. That's my target audience.
This is not a personal criticism of you or R&S, it is a suggestion for consideration.
Not at all! I very much appreciate any and all feedback. Although my "formula" seems to work, I'm always looking for ways to improve and expand, so your post is very helpful. Thanks!
