DD2HW5 Analyzing Example Instructions

Youtube Editing
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
First HyperLink  (http://www.htmlgoodies.com/beyond/video/how-to-edit-youtube-videos-and-add-video-annotations.html)

Strengths: Very easy to follow and broke edits and annotations up into sections which made it easy as a reader to follow the instructions easily. They had good use of words and pictures in each section to help the reader see first hand of what they are supposed to do.

Weaknesses: No steps whats so ever in the instructions, even though the wording was easy to follow it would have been much easier to follow step by step instructions. Some of the pictures in the instructions are just images and it seems as if they just expect you to know how to get there which is a poor way of showing beginners how to edit videos.

Second  Hyperlink (http://www.wikihow.com/Edit-Videos-for-YouTube)

Strengths: Incredibly easy to follow instructions with step by step slides with pictures. Each slide explains in great detail what to do and even use bullet points. Most of the pictures used are annotated and make it easy for the users to understand where to go.

Weaknesses: Most of the pictures used are old and don't look anything like the new platform Youtube uses now. That could be confusing for most users as the old pictures might not look anything like the new ones. The amount of text and bullet points could be cut down and be more direct. Most of the  bullet points and wording are lengthy and can leave the reader confused.

Third Hyperlink (https://www.entrepreneur.com/article/226771)

Strength: Gives really good knowledge of how to edit videos on Youtube and does an even better job of laying out the steps for the readers to easily follow. Breaking the process down into sections allows to reader to focus on each section individually make the process of understanding much easier.

Weakness: While the wording of each section is pretty good, without pictures it makes it much difficult the readers to understand. Each section is too long and it could be condensed with more words that cut to the chase.
