Make microlearning videos from your training material
Microlearning works when each video teaches one skill that a learner can use right away. Storyvalo turns a section of your training material into a short vertical video: why the skill matters, how to do it, and one quick check the learner can answer afterwards.
Opens the studio with an editable microlearning video brief. Sign in or create a free account first; nothing is generated or charged until you continue.
A good fit when
- You run training for a team or customers.
- Your material can be split into single skills.
- Learners watch on phones between other work.
The closest real example
This short lesson on checking evidence teaches one skill with a recap, the core pattern of microlearning.
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.
Microlearning video, step by step
Upload one section
Add the training material for one skill as PDF, text or Markdown.
Name the skill
The starter teaches a single skill. Name it in the brief and the learner’s role.
Write the check
Edit the closing question so it tests the skill, not trivia.
Render and schedule
Render 9:16 and publish it in your learning platform or messaging tool on a regular schedule.
Series, not epics
Ten one-minute videos are easier to finish and update than one ten-minute video. Name them consistently so learners can find the next one.
Pair with practice
A short video introduces a skill; practice builds it. Link each video to a task, checklist or quiz in your learning platform.
Write the check before the lesson
Decide what the learner should be able to answer at the end, then cut anything in the draft that does not lead to it. If a scene does not help with the closing question, it belongs in another video in the series or in the written material.
The starter brief
“Use this starter” fills in this brief in the studio. Edit any of it before you generate a storyboard.
Turn one section of the uploaded training material into a vertical microlearning video. Teach a single skill: why it matters, how to do it, and one quick check the learner can answer afterwards. 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
Can I use landscape instead?
Yes. Choose 16:9 for desktop learning platforms; copy the project to portrait for phones.
Can I upload to our LMS?
Download the MP4 and subtitle file and upload them to your learning platform.
How long is a microlearning video?
Most are one to three minutes. Storyvalo renders whole-minute lengths.
