@TrevorI hope it meets with your approval Martin.
but on balance it seemed to be a bit off-putting for beginners, making a lot of faff about some things which are actually very much simpler.
Hi MartinBut then someone says this:
"But YouTube only needs one video to be priceless. In my case it has just been released as part of a Society Virtual Show. The video? Templot for the Totally Confused. It’s not perfect but it just made everything click and now I’m away! I can use it. I would have paid good money for the video and that’s a Yorkshireman saying that! And if a proportion of my EMGS subscription paid for any part of it then bravo."

What would they say if we actually had some videos which explained Templot properly for beginners? And why is it that after all these years I still seem unable to make such a video?

I have come to the conclusion that the big obstacle is my way of answering questions -- I'm in the habit of writing the answer down. In the program itself, on web pages, in numerous videos, here on Templot Club.
But there appears to be a whole group of users who just can't assimilate information from a written text. They are much happier to be shown and told.

Maybe we went to the same school ...Hi Martin
I’m old school and much prefer to read things rather than watch them. Generally I don’t get on with YouTube videos because the presenter rattles through them at such a pace that by the time I’ve paused it, I’ve missed a chunk of the next bit. They’re ok for general presentation, but not step by step instructions.
Your videos though, with the automatic pause at suitable points, are excellent! Where I have watched them, I find them very easy to use. That format is ideal for step by step instructions, although there isn’t the same level of general background information as your written replies tend to include. Maybe people don’t want that these days though, there seems to be a general reluctance to learn things, I think.
Cheers,
Paul
Maybe some of us are so old we can't take in much more?
My problem is preventing what was already in from leaking out.
