Mathematics is a fundamental subject for all courses especially in engineering, business and economics. A good understanding of mathematics will help in daily activities and in many other situation either in simplified or complex forms. However, some students may have difficulties learning this subject and often felt that they need extra help from different resources. One of the learning methods that commonly used is through visualization where students view video in order to understand the topic. This study aimed to identify the technical criterion in producing an effective video to assist the process of teaching and learning. The main instrument implemented is by conducting a survey and follow-up by assessment questions with the respondents. The response and comments from the student’s perspective are taken as a guide to help educators to improve video making in learning mathematics.
