If you want to teach alignment, I'd recommend writing a series of lessons as web pages. Very few parts of that discussion require moving pictures (or even benefit slightly from them). Take setup, for instance. A learner gains little by watching a shaky movie of someone clipping an oscilloscope probe somewhere under a dark chassis. In print, you can show them that part of the schematic with the test point clearly marked, followed by a clear close-up photo of the probe clipped onto pin 3 of tube V21 or whatever. They already know that you hold the probe in your hand and move it toward the chassis before fastening it, so a movie showing that act is an annoying waste of their time.
In a spot where it's important to show something dynamic, you can embed a short video clip in the web page. For instance, I can imagine a short video of a scope screen showing how waveform A changes shape as you turn adjuster B.

i agree ,i would like to see one section at a time [ in detail ] like I.F. from schematic to equitment like 415 to chassie hook up to all the effects of adjustments ,and the person to stay on topic while he showing not to wonder off on somthing unrelated ,is there any factory training videos that they used when they were sent to one or two day factory training school ,or did the tv industry do that ,G.M. used to send us to training school for new product or more certifaction ,maybe the larger comp. like zenith or rca might had some program like that.i know all the car / truck industry did i always like the free schooling GM encourged everyone to atend the enginners / and instructors love to talk after class about there product.
