Create employee onboarding videos from your onboarding docs
New employees get a lot of documents in their first week. A short welcome video that explains what happens first, who to ask for what, and which steps to complete makes the documents easier to use. Storyvalo drafts it from your onboarding material, and HR or the team lead reviews it before it is shared.
Opens the studio with an editable employee onboarding video brief. Sign in or create a free account first; nothing is generated or charged until you continue.
A good fit when
- You onboard new people regularly.
- Your onboarding is written down in a doc, handbook or checklist.
- You want every new starter to get the same clear introduction.
The closest real example
This training video came from a fictional internal process document, the kind of internal material onboarding videos draw on.
Fictional demonstration: the brand, source and scenario were invented for this example. It is not a customer testimonial or evidence of business results. Watch it with its source and script.
Employee onboarding video, step by step
Upload the onboarding doc
Add the onboarding plan, checklist or handbook section as PDF, text or Markdown.
Personalise the welcome
Name the team and the tone in the brief. Keep personal details of colleagues out unless they agreed to appear.
Use your own visuals
Upload office or team photos with permission, or use neutral illustrations; avoid stock people presented as your colleagues.
Share it privately
Render and share through your intranet, or send an expiring viewing link with the welcome email.
Keep it evergreen
Names, dates and room numbers change. Put changing details in the written checklist and keep the video about how onboarding works, so it stays accurate longer.
Make a short series
Separate videos for the first day, tools and policies are easier to update than one long video, and each can link to the right document.
Ask new starters what was missing
After a few weeks, ask recent hires what the video should have covered. Their answers are the best brief for the next version.
The starter brief
“Use this starter” fills in this brief in the studio. Edit any of it before you generate a storyboard.
Turn the uploaded onboarding document into a welcome video for new employees. Explain what happens in the first week, who to contact for what, and the tools or steps the document asks them to complete. Use only facts from my source. Do not invent statistics, prices, quotes, customer names or results.
Review before you publish
Storyvalo drafts the script and assembles the video; you decide what is accurate. Read every scene against its source, check names, numbers and claims, and only use material you have permission to use. Stock footage and AI illustrations are illustrative, and narration is AI-generated.
What it costs
One 60-second, watermarked 720p export per verified account each calendar month. It ends with a short “Made with Storyvalo” card over its last two seconds. Standard voices and still or stock media. No payment card, no automatic subscription. Paid exports stay 1080p without the Storyvalo watermark. A free account includes five minutes of AI script attempts each calendar month, an editable storyboard and an interactive preview, with no card. Rendering a narrated video uses video minutes: export one minute for $2.99 or three minutes for $7.99, plus applicable tax, without a subscription. Monthly plans suit regular production and longer videos. Compare plans and packs.
Questions
Is the video private?
Videos stay in your workspace until you share them. Viewing links are unlisted and expire after 7, 30 or 90 days; anyone with the link can watch it.
Can managers approve the script first?
Yes. Download the script and publishing notes for review, make their edits in the storyboard, then render.
Can we make it in several languages?
Create a version per narration language: English, Spanish, French, German or Portuguese.
