Posted announcement about video tutorials making at RSDN.ru and received some questions. Here are the answers:
The price depends on video's time. Requirements specification is also important. If there is no requirements specification, it is created for additional pay. Requirements specification is an exact consequence of actions in video tutorial and comments for each step (the format of the comments and callouts: font, size, color, background, etc.). The more specific the requirements specification is, the quicker the video will be made, and the less difficulties there will be, when the work is approved by the client.
The first minute of video tour costs $30 USD, each following minute costs $10 USD. Each minute of the next video costs $10 USD.
Help files, or Helps. Why are they called "files"? Because the are files in CHM format. As a rule. Formats may vary, however, this is the most popular format on PC. Why are they called Helps? Because sometimes they really help. :)
As I don't only write texts of Helps, but also create the structure and format the files to CHM, I write that I create Help files.
I can not give exact prices for making Help files as this is a unique piece of work for each application and has different requirements and amount.
So the price is agreed. As an example of the price I can say that Help files for Visio costs about $3000 USD. Without animated tutorials, publishing to PDF or compilation of Help to Macintosh. Just a CHM file. However the size of this file can be up to 15 MB. Can you imagine how much text and how many screenshots are there in it? That's why the price is quite reasonable.
