🧵 How to make a perfect tutorial?

I'll be working on some video tutorials and would like to know what do you think a good tutorial should and shouldn't have. If you have some good examples, please share them here.
Also, do you think having a tutorial without a voiceover would be problematic, even if the explanation is still cleanly explained with text? I'm leaning towards a text based approach personally because I think I can design it well and partially because... Well, I don't like speaking in a video and hearing my voice lol.
Besides things like being straight to the point, well rehearsed / edited video without unnecessary pauses, good video and audio quality, what else do I have to keep in mind?

Can a written tutorial fully replace a video tutorial? In other words, if I write a breakdown, do you think I could provide extra value if I also uploaded a recorded and narrated workflow of the same topic? Think having a chance to write an article for a magazine, but still wanting sell a video version of the workflow by yourself and I’m afraid an already existing article may significantly reduce an interest for the video. Because all the theory and explanied workflow is in the article, the video is just showing it in practice, right?

Clear non ESL voice
High quality recording, 1080p minimum
Screencast your keys
Establish at the start what kind of experience is required for the tutorial, if it's actually targeting for beginners then you shouldn't be skipping anything, like literally show which tab you click to x menu to change y setting
Rather than say "go here and find a texture of x" just provide the one you are using in your tutorial, people can experiment after. Make sure the dl link works.

Unless the tutorial is incredibly short like sub 2mins for a simple procedure, you better be speaking not using text
