Data were collected through interview guideline instruments and questionnaire sheets—data analysis of the validation questionnaire sheet and student response assessment with quantitative and qualitative analysis. The results of the research developing sexual education videos for adolescents are very good or feasible to be tested because based on the results of the validity test by media experts getting a score of 4.7, tarbiyah jinisiyah material experts with a score of 4.77, reproductive health material experts with a score of 4.58, linguists with a score of 4.3, and student response assessment with a score of 4.65.
