Creating high-quality online course videos is easier than you might think—and it doesn’t require a film crew or fancy studio setup! Whether you’re a teacher, coach, or expert in any field, you can absolutely produce professional-looking educational content from the comfort of your home.
Here’s how to do it step-by-step.
Step 1: Plan Your Course Content
Before you hit record, map out what your course will cover.
A clear structure helps your audience follow along and keeps you on track.
- Break your content into modules or chapters
- Write bullet-point scripts or outlines
- Choose a target audience and keep their level of knowledge in mind
Tip: Keep each video focused on one main idea or concept. Shorter, digestible lessons tend to perform better.

Once you’re happy with your video:
- Export in MP4 format (recommended)
- Choose HD resolution (at least 720p, preferably 1080p)
- Compress file size if needed (tools like HandBrake can help)
You can upload your videos to:
- Your course platform (Teachable, Thinkific, Kajabi)
- YouTube (Set as “Unlisted” if you only want to share with paying students)
