FreeCAD on Video

Introduction

There are a lot of Videos about FreeCAD, to many to list here. Even the number of "channels" is high. I think that many channels are under subscribed, you may want to help change this. Also encourage creators by liking the videos. Based on considerable time watching videos here is a list of some of FreeCAD on Video channels. If you are a creator and wish to be included you can edit the wiki or contact one of the authors of this page ( see View History ) to have your channel included. You may also want to check out the discussion page.

If the video is not in your language of choice, this may help:

Let us know if you find other or better references to this topic.

So far just YouTube but other outlets are welcome.

See Also

I believe this is the most comprehensive page on videos, but is not the only Wiki page or the most detailed one:

Support FreeCAD

FreeCAD is free, but you might consider supporting in not just going for a free ride ( but if you do that is ok too ). There are a variety of ways. We mention this briefly here because without documentation software is useless so:

  • Consider supporting channel content creators.

But there are other routes as well:

  • Support the developers in a quite direct way, see: Donate
  • Help with documentation, this wiki for example.
  • Help develop the code see: ( coming soon )

Lots of this covered in Help FreeCAD

Video Channels

So far, for convenience of editing the links on this page are broken into separate sections, and so far, ordering is arbitrary.

Discussion tab has some info. on source of column contents and meaning of column headers.

Quality of Content

The videos here are not judged by quality of content, version of FreeCad, or even continued existence of the channel ( but known dead links will be removed ). The list may not even be maintained to keep it really up to date. But here are some ways to judge these things for yourself.

  • Quality of Content

    • It is quite a chore to create a channel. With that effort involved, most channels seem to make a corresponding effort to know what they are talking about. But view the content, make your own jucgegement and if you have a comment: this is a wiki, so you can make a comment in the table below.
  • Version of FreeCad

    • YouTube dates the videos, compare to time now, and to releases of FreeCAD. In my experience videos use the official release of FreeCAD or the next one in process. Some videos show what may be coming in branches of FreeCAD
  • Timeliness of this page

    • Check out the tab "View History" and the column "Last Tracked Video"
    • You could of course do some work on updating the page yourself.

Let's not think as consumers 'this is not good', 'I don't like it', 'forget it', 'GVCS is not enough', but let's think more like creators! 'How can we do it?', 'I want to do it like that!', 'I want to change this', 'I want to create this' and do it. Creating and producing is much more powerful than consuming. Nothing is fixed and stable, we are changing it and creating it." ~Nikolay Georgiev "...But there is one other very important lesson the CEB machine development process has taught me. I wanted a perfect, out of the box, plug and play, machine that was both cheap and beautiful. We've come to expect that with our cars and computers. It's a kind of magic that deceives us by its packaging and presentation when behind it, and without fail, is misery, abuse and a huge pile of pollution..." ~Propagelle Project (propagelleprojects.blogspot.com) | Dec 2020 - 1 year ( for a FreeCAD Video ) | English audio | | na | +++++++ | SamovarXL - YouTube | na | Dec 2020 - 6 months | No audio -- clear mouse movements | include other topics than FreeCAD | na | +++++++ | John T - YouTube | na | Dec 2020 - 1 year for FreeCAD | No audio -- clear mouse movements | Lots of other topics other than FreeCAD | na | +++++++ | (64) Petr Švejda - YouTube | FreeCAD from Beginner to Professional - Drawing tutorials not only for 3D print.

Issues for Video Creators

Consider: (This content is mostly from the Forum)

  • Include FreeCAD information from the About box, including especially the version of FreeCAD
  • Consider sticking to, at most, a lightly customized version of the FreeCAD interface unless part of the point of the video is the interface.
  • I've seen a number of tutorial videos for other software packages where the tutor/demonstrator has a webcam image of themselves on the screen during the tutorial/demo. A lot of the time it just shows them looking at the screen and talking, but at other times they are looking straight into the webcam when they are trying to introduce a new topic, explain something, or just adding commentary. Do you think that this sort of thing would be useful or appropriate in a FreeCAD tutorial?
  • Videos should never auto-start.
  • After starting there should be a way to quit/pause.
  • I would suggest calling out all hotkeys used, at least the first few times if they are used multiple times. (key-mon [1] or other tool showing keys/mouse buttons pressed are really handy for that.)
  • Briefly describe expected level of FreeCAD understanding at the beginning. If for example tutorial is for FEM user should know how to model the solid to be analyzed.
  • Clarity of voice and directions of Cursor that is being clicked or any other combo of keys eg. +ctrl or using shift with FreeCAD buttons.
  • it is best to use the default toolbars. If for some reason this is not the case, then it should at least be stated very clearly to avoid confusion.
  • Link to "source code" for the model.
  • Captions or subtitles can be useful, especially if available in multiple languages. You might pass this on to your viewers: *How to Translate a Foreign Language Video on YouTube • Jenni Wiltz and you might want to look up translation features that YouTube (or other platform) can support.
  • Some users like to know where a model is going at the beginning of a video. Should you show the end product or something similar at the beginning of the video?
