Each tutorial will show you step by step how to do a particular task and you will see the cursor going around the screen doing the task. Depending on your internet connection's download speed, it should take between 1 and 3 minutes to download each tutorial.

Link : Personal Ancestral File (PAF) Tutorials. This is a series of tutorials on how to use PAF. There are a large number of tutorials which are broken into the following sections : Introduction (4); Installing PAF (2); Setting Up Preferences (2); Create/Edit Individual (6); Create/Edit Marriage (2); PAF Views (3); Printing (3); Backups (2); Help (2); GEDCOMs (2); Filters (2); Export to Temple/Ready (2); Match/Merge (2); Focus List (2); Advanced Features (5); Additional Preferences (7) and Pedigree Resource File Submission (1). They appear to be quite good although the navigation buttons (Play. Pause, Stop, etc) are a bit difficult to operate consistently.
