Hi fellow instructors.
I thought we could share the way we create our lessons here. Maybe we can find the most time efficiant way to do it...
I'll start.
Here's how I do it:

1. Create a track over whick to do my lesson. I usually use premade loops, add a bass loop and additional keys if needed.

2. I save 3 or 4 versions of the track at different tempos that I'll upload for students.

3. I write a lead over the track according to the subject I'm covering.

4. I record the Main video along with the wav file on my computer.

5. I record all the parts, same as above.. Wave files recorded on my computer.

6. Match all videos and Waves in video editing software, and save them in appropriate video format.

7. Create GP file and scales in .jpg

8 Export GP file as .txt

9. Open .txt tab and write explanation paragraphs for each segment. Save .txt as new file.

10 upload all vids and files.

11. Go back to each video in GMC lesson maker and copy and paste all my explanations.



That's how I do it.
How do you do it?
I'm trying to be more efficiant...

Once I know the parts, all the process takes me about 2 hours and a half...

How long does it take you?

This is an awesome and very helpful topic - thanks! smile.gif

Regarding the uploads - the upcoming lesson maker will be a completely new interface. Henrik's plan is to offer an extra ftp application which will allow you to upload a whole folder containing all the files for a lesson (zipped or unzipped).

This won't speed up the actual bytes/s but it will allow you to do something else while uploading.

If you can't wait - then I suggest you go for Lavendell's suggestion which does the same thing...

Hehe thanks for asking Muris! biggrin.gif

We have got a lot of things planned - we can of course say for sure all of this will be in it, but:

students view:

*new layout
*custom chat inside each lesson
*notpad for students
*more lessons from instructor
*metronome
*recorder
+ lots of small extra video features

The instructor view will more look like a module based interface where you move things around in the same view as the student!

I look forward to show something as we get going - it will of course take a long time before we can show you anything... smile.gif
