After sending off the email, I realized that I didn't provide enough information. I was a bit frustrated. Anyway, we are using Camtasia to show step-by-step directions for using some software. I've only ever had to do that kind of thing for me. I just wanted to gather some ideas to create a standard.
We'll be distributing the content by a link to the video.
Is there a better term than training video for what I'm doing?

What is the scope of the script?
Dialog only? Dialog and blocking?
Who's going to be acting the script?
What is the final product?
As with any discipline, the tools do not make you proficient, but having the right tools can make tasks nicer to do.
