Well done. Your well spoken, I heard just one heavy sigh before you add
the I. 14min seemed to go by quickly.
The demo is nice, maybe a Tach display and a angle display.
And better lighting, maybe you can shrink your self into a PIP and just
show the demo.

If you have (access to) a Mac, I can highly recommend "ScreenFlow".
It can record multiple screens, multiple cameras and audio at the same
time, and provides a really good post editor for mixing down the video,
with slo-mo replays, transitions and many other effects, PIP, etc.
All for $100. Excellent value, even just for the post facilities (i.e.
even if you never make a recording).

I'm using KdenLive for editing, and it's pretty good -- at least, its capabilities are well beyond mine. And at $0, its price is infinitely better.
The muy-expensivo camera is my cell phone. It was realizing that I had something ON HAND that would take adequate video that really pushed me
over the edge.
As for simple recording and editing mistakes, the points that will be different next time are:
1: I'm working off of (essentially) a bunch of slides, and you can see
me looking at them as I talk. I certainly don't like the looks of it.
2: There's a number of places where swear words, tongue-twists, and
nose- scratching was edited out on-the-fly, causing jumps in the video. Again, they detract from the video.
Instead of trying to do the whole video in one take (and failing), I'm
going to study _one_ slide, _hide it_, turn the camera on, do _that one slide's worth_ while _looking at the camera_, turn the camera off,
repeat until _that slide_ is good enough, turn to the next slide, and
repeat until done. Then I'll edit them together with suitable
transitions.
This presentation had ten slides, so if I do 90 seconds and flub it, I
can just stop the camera, take a few deep breaths, and try again.
3: The lighting could be improved. Just a few lamps off screen would
have made it better, but I was in "dammit, just get 'er done" mode --
which is why it got done.
Not really on the "immediate" list, but room for incremental
improvements:
4: The filming spot could be better. That's my very own desk and
workbench, just cleaned up for filming. I'll probably stay here for
now, possibly with incremental improvements, but if I should happen to
get a really strong response I'll make a better spot.
5: I'm doing this entirely on my own. If I can get a camera-wrangler
and general coach in here while I'm filming that would help.
Fortunately, I have under-employed family members.
6: Editing and closed-captioning, ditto. Unfortunately my general
attitude toward new things is "dive in and keep screwing up until you
get it right", while my wife and kids' attitude is "no, won't try unless
I'll get it perfect". Maybe I can get one or more of them to take
classes...

Nicely done.
May I suggest that future videos be done in something other than Flash,
such as HTML5:

<https://www.youtube.com/html5>
For now, there are some Flash to HTML5 converters available. I have no
idea which is best or how well they might work: <https://www.google.com/#q=flash+to+html5+converter>
Suggestion: Take a clue from Dave Jones and fill the background with an impressive collection of test equipment: <https://www.youtube.com/user/EEVblog>
That adds credibility to your video. (Perception is everything).

YouTube takes my mp4 files and does what it wills with them. I know it >reduces the resolution for most people -- at least I assume that you're

I have a pretty sparse set of test equipment, actually. A nice Agilent >mixed-signal scope and a Rigol spectrum analyzer are the highlights; it
goes downhill from there all the way to a 1950's-era Heathkit RF signal >generator complete with crinkle-coat paint.
Besides, the most important test equipment in the room is my brain -- the >rest is just for convenience.
One of the videos I plan will show the test equipment that's built into >nearly any closed-loop control project I build: there's a swept-sine
analyzer in that software that lets me analyze both the arm position loop
and the motor speed loop. I can take the resulting data and use it to
tune the system.

YouTube adjusts the video to correspond to what the internet
connection and computah can handle. I'm bandwidth limited by a
1.5Mbit/sec DSL connection which shows your video as 360p. I'll try
it again tomorrow on my office cable modem connection, which can do >25mbits/sec and should show at least 720p.

Thank you Tim, really nice to hear the fan working harder/softer - an inspired choice of actuator!
Good clear demonstration, I now can't wait to see a demo of the
effects of too much D or too much I and not enough D / I etc and then
an introduction on how to tune these or even explain how self-tuning
works.
