Description Mathieu Bridon 2014-03-14 10:31:16 UTC 
I've shown the getting started videos to some people, and they all found it very hard to follow and understand what was happening.

One reason they mentioned was that the pace is quite fast, so they didn't always have time to read the subtitles, especially given that they were supposed to look at three things at the same time:
- the actions happening, following the mouse pointer movement
- the keys being pressed
- the subtitles
Comment 1 Mathieu Bridon 2014-03-14 10:32:31 UTC 
A few things we just discussed in #gnome-design:

<jimmac> yea, maybe shortcuts are better presented with a table, not a video
<jimmac> perhaps we might drop the keyboard navigation section from the videos

<aday> jimmac, maybe the subtitles could be shown while the video is static - explain, then demonstrate
<bochecha> aday: or pause after an action, to let the user the time to read the subtitles
<aday> rather than demonstrate and explain simultaneously
Comment 2 Jakub Steiner 2014-04-17 16:16:16 UTC 
I've created separate shortcut sections that should make the section easier to follow: https://people.gnome.org/~jimmac/gnome-getting-started-docs/C/figures/gnome-windows-and-workspaces.webm

Do you think there are other areas that need similar slowdown/focus treatment?
