Best way to display help/hints without leaving page
I have a video clipping application which allows the user to clip, add visual effects and create a new file from uploaded video.
The user does all the clipping and editing on the same prompt where he/she uploads the video. For a new user, I want to display help/hints without the user leaving the upload prompt. What is the best way to achieve this?
- FAQ or Documentation (can be displayed in prompt)
- ToolTips or overlay
- Interactive JS or JQuery based tutorial
- Any other option...
Also is there any historical data that would help in deciding the best user experience in this scenario?
