Just a cautionary note - if you release video without audio or with very limited audio - make sure you communicate this very clearly to users. I once created some brief demos using callouts but no audio - ended up with calls asking why they couldn't hear anything. A lot of people do assume that every demo or video includes sound.

depends? I am debating as to whether to make it use callouts versus with
audio
