Static - easier to dip into and do at my own pace. Though ideally a video overview then a text based tutorial is best I suppose for complicated stuff, so both

Learning from observing others is without discrimination.

Offering the opportunity to observe is less discriminating, learning has nothing to do with discrimination. If I was mandated to teach I'd use video, if appropriate, yes, but by choice I prefer to learn from text and still images.

John - I believe you have taken me out of context..
But this is not the place for a debate.

Text and graphics are best in my opinion. Video overviews are very nice but not easy to review specific step by step information.

I didn't vote because I like to have BOTH. I like watching the videos to see how something is done. But I also like the static tutorials when I am actually doing it.

I like both too. But I think that videos should be big clear, and mouse movements should be slow and easy to follow.
