I'm in the process of doing this exact thing myself. I'm creating on average 5 training videos a day since my business is pretty much all web and information based.
I've already started being a lot more productive. One thing that I hadn't thought of was having them create the training themselves.
The first draft of these videos are fairly crude as it's mostly a brain dump and I'm figuring out the best way to explain what is in my head. This means sometimes I spend 15-20 mins to create a 5 minute video or 2 hrs to create a 22 min one (example from yesterday) when you take into account retakes and editing.
I could just create a crude one and just have them create the clean version after they learn it. It would save me at least an hour a day. Not too shabby. Thanks for that.
First draft is always free roll. For 2nd (and usually final draft), I create an outline which I use as a visual inside the video itself. This part is just inside Textmate with the font size increased to like 20px or something gigantic. The narration is always on the roll but I usually remember the phrasing from the first draft and only tweak what needs changing.
