I struggle with video, too. It seems to me that video requires a lot more pre-planning and post-production; probably even a script, or at least some idea about the sequence of shots. Shooting stills is challenging in a different way, but at least you can just grab the camera, compose, shoot, review, delete the crap, and edit the good ones.

I started a video podcast project last year and it took 10 takes of the first episode before I even started to feel comfortable filming myself. The podcast is still on my calendar, and now I have a long-term photo documentary project that might benefit from a few videos.

As for remedies, I can only suggest repetition. And don't put the camera down. Best of luck in your endeavors!
