Turn your notes into an explainer video
When a topic resists you, having it explained on video changes everything. Voice and image together help you understand difficult processes and concepts before you start memorising. Discover when to use video and how Study Salad generates it from your material.
Does watching a video help you study?
Yes, especially for understanding difficult or abstract topics. A video explanation combines voice and image, which makes it easier to follow processes, relationships and examples that feel like an uphill climb in a text. It's the best format for your first contact with a new subject.
When to use the video format
- When you struggle to get started with a topic.
- When the content is very visual (processes, diagrams, experiments).
- When you'd rather have it explained before reading it.
- As an easy-going review when you get tired of studying by reading.
That said: watching a video is passive review. For it to stick, afterwards you have to test yourself with quizzes, flashcards or open answers.
