This is why I like to watch YouTube tutorials sometimes, especially when I’m new to a certain topic. They show every step clearly. The author can’t forget to mention a piece of information because he’s doing it in real time. Too often with written tutorials there’s one or more steps missing, that are obvious to the author but not necessarily to someone new to the subject.

Yes although this requires the author to assess what they are showing to see if it makes sense from a teaching / learning perspective.

I remember watching a tutorial about a new feature in Photoshop. The author

* showed some results

* showed how the older version of the feature worked (assuming we were all familiar with it)

* did 'undo' multiple times to get back to the original image

* started showing the sequence of steps to use the new feature

* realised they had made a mistake and undid some of the steps

* restarted from the point where they had made the mistake.

I had to watch this about five times to work out the actual minimal sequence of steps involved. Some editing or a retake would really have helped here.
