🎬 From Zero to 130+ Tutorial Videos in 4 Months: My Journey with Eduman Software

When I first joined the Eduman Software team, I never imagined I would end up creating over 130 short tutorial videos within just 4 months—especially with zero prior experience in video editing.

But that’s exactly what happened.


đź’ˇ The Mission

Our goal was clear: create a complete set of short tutorial videos for each module and submodule of the Eduman School Management Software. These videos would be used to help school administrators, teachers, and support staff understand how to operate each part of the software effectively.

The platform had:

  • 15 Main Modules
  • 140+ Submodules

My task? Break them down and create short, effective, and visually clear tutorial videos for each.


🎥 The Challenge

Here’s what made this project especially demanding:

  1. Condensing 10-Minute Videos into 1-2 Minutes
    Each module had a lot of functionality. I had to capture the essence of each in under 2 minutes, without losing clarity. It was like compressing a textbook into a sticky note.

  2. Learning on the Fly
    I started this journey with no real experience in video editing. But within 1 month, I learned tools like:

  • CapCut
  • Adobe Photoshop
  • Screen recording tools

And began editing like a pro.

  1. Full Ownership of the Video Lifecycle I managed everything:
  • Script writing (in my head and on the fly)
  • Recording
  • Editing
  • Thumbnail design
  • YouTube description & uploading
  1. Multiple Remakes & Real Data Issues
    Often, after uploading a video to YouTube, we discovered that real data was visible (like names or financial info). This meant re-recording and re-editing the entire video. I had to redo many videos multiple times to get them just right.

  2. Unique Approach for Every Module
    Each module worked differently. There was no one-size-fits-all. This made the project even more challenging—and exciting.


🔍 Major Modules Covered

Here are a few of the core modules I worked on (with links to the YouTube playlists):

  1. Core Settings – Watch Playlist
  2. Student Information – Watch Playlist
  3. Teacher Information – Watch Playlist
  4. Fees Management – Watch Playlist
  5. Account Management – Watch Playlist
  6. Semester Exam – Watch Playlist

...and 9+ other modules, each with multiple submodules.


đź§  What I Learned

  • How to simplify complex software workflows into short, understandable tutorials.
  • Fast, efficient video editing workflows under pressure.
  • The importance of accuracy, user privacy, and visual clarity.
  • How to work under strict deadlines without compromising quality.

🔚 Final Thoughts

This project was one of the most challenging—and rewarding—experiences of my career. It pushed me out of my comfort zone, taught me new skills, and most importantly, helped thousands of users understand a complex software tool with ease.

If you’re someone looking to grow, my advice is simple: accept the challenge first—skills will follow.
