RAP Informational and Training Videos
As part of my outreach and data support role for the Rangeland Analysis Platform (RAP), I used videos to demonstrate key remote sensing and spatial data concepts to support rangeland practitioners in using the data.

ABOUT THE PROJECT
The Rangeland Analysis Platform (RAP) YouTube channel includes tutorial, informational and support videos that I have produced on a range of topics to support users of the RAP web applications. In general, I use Shotcut video editing software and OBS Studio video capture to record all videos and use Microsoft PowerPoint to produce the visual animations as seen in the videos (it's pretty amazing what you can accomplish with PowerPoint, in this regard!). All videos use music that is freely available through the YouTube Audio Library.
The YouTube content is then used in RAP in-person and online workshops (either directly or as pre-requisite content) and on our support site to compliment written articles. Below is a selection of the videos that I have produced for the Rangeland Analysis Platform.

In addition to producing video content, I also curate videos produced by third parties that have gainfully applied the RAP data in presentations or analyses.
