Short, curated videos that feature key pieces of participant feedback that can be easily shared with stakeholders and teams
Highlight reels communicate the analysis and synthesis of results from studies using think-aloud protocol.
Stakeholders can hear directly from participants and experience firsthand what it’s like to use the product.
Make the clips as clean and succinct as possible so that they don’t include extra words or words cut in half in the beginning or the end of a clip. At the same time, make sure there is enough context around the feedback so that people who are seeing it for the first time can understand what it’s about.
Good annotations will help you remember what each clip was about, which will save you time when you’re assembling the highlight reels.
The ideal length for a highlight reel is about 3 minutes. Pay attention to the ordering of the individual clips so that they tell a coherent story.
The short and to-the-point format of highlight reels is an effective way to share feedback from usability testing. Invite the entire team to have a productive discussion.
