About Tutorials & How-to video templates

Tutorial and how-to video templates teach one task in fifteen seconds: a recipe, a repair, a craft, an exercise or a software trick. Each layout breaks the job into numbered steps with one line of instruction per scene, and adds what a learner needs beside the footage — the tools, the quantities, the time, what to do and what to avoid.

The designs keep the learner's hands in view and the instruction beside them. Layouts combine process footage with numbered steps, lists of tools or ingredients, quantities, timers and gauges, do and do-not lines, and guides drawn onto the footage — arrows, rings, lines and outlines that show exactly where to look. Everything is timed to the scene, so each step appears as it happens and progress markers show how far along the task is. Styles range from recipe cards and workshop guides to sporty, botanical and software looks. Widescreen suits YouTube and websites, square and portrait suit the feed and Pinterest, and vertical suits Reels, TikTok and Shorts.

In the Deus Video editor, replace the footage with your own process, rename the steps and rewrite the instructions, move the arrows, rings and drawn guides onto your targets and set the quantities, temperatures and times — they are counters, so they animate to whatever number you enter. Keep one action per scene, and end on a save or follow step so the tutorial is easy to find again.
