This training video was created in Damstra Learning. Notice the highlighted Menu button on the bottom left, which you can click on to display a list of Chapter titles for easy navigation. After familiarising yourself with the process of adding different types of content layers to your slides, feel free to adapt it for your own purposes.

Please note that the video is designed to allow you to click back to the start of any Chapter for repeated viewing, but not let you click on the horizontal timeline below the video to restart it at just any point. You may, however, pause at any time, then unpause to play it forward.

You may notice that the screens in the video look different from your current screens, which were updated in recent weeks. Please bear with us as we are always keen to release the latest improvements for your use, and shall update the video in due course. Thank you for your patience and understanding. Meanwhile, there is no change in what you can do in Velpic to create professional training videos in-house quickly and easily.

Now, let’s return to the left toolbar and add each type of content layer to your slide in the recommended order of images, transition, words, voiceover, and URL hotlink.
