Turn help-center articles into how-to videos
Your most-visited help articles answer the questions customers ask most. A short video of the same steps helps people who prefer to watch, and it can sit at the top of the article. Storyvalo follows the article’s steps in order, keeps its warnings, and links each scene to the passage it came from.
Opens the studio with an editable help article to video brief. Sign in or create a free account first; nothing is generated or charged until you continue.
A good fit when
- The article describes a task with clear steps.
- Customers keep asking about this task.
- The steps are stable enough that the video will not go out of date next week.
The closest real example
This onboarding video came from a fictional help-center article and walks through five steps calmly, as most help videos should.
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.
Help article to video, step by step
Link the article
Paste the public help-center URL. Private knowledge bases can be exported as text, Markdown or PDF and uploaded instead.
Keep the article’s order
The starter follows the article’s steps and its most important warning. Edit the brief if the video should cover only part of a long article.
Add screenshots
Upload screenshots of the screens the steps refer to and place them in the matching scenes, so viewers see the real interface.
Embed it in the article
Render a landscape video with captions and add it to the top of the article. The subtitle file helps with accessibility on your platform.
Match labels exactly
If the article says “Settings → Billing”, the narration must say the same. Customers follow words they hear and see, so a paraphrased menu name sends them looking for something that does not exist.
Plan for updates
When the interface changes, update the article first, then open the project, regenerate the affected scenes and render again. Saved versions let you return to the previous script if needed.
The starter brief
“Use this starter” fills in this brief in the studio. Edit any of it before you generate a storyboard.
Turn my help-center article into a calm step-by-step video for a customer who is stuck. Name the task, walk through the steps in the article's order, mention the most common mistake the article warns about, and end by pointing to the full article. 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
Does it work with Zendesk, Intercom or Help Scout articles?
Public article pages that load their text without a login usually work. If your help center is private, export the article and upload it.
Can it record my screen?
No. Storyvalo does not record screens. Upload screenshots, and use them as the visuals for the relevant scenes.
Can viewers read along?
Yes. Captions are optional in the video, and paid exports include a subtitle file you can upload to your video host.
