Explain a policy update in a short video
Policy changes get emailed, filed and forgotten. A short video that explains what is changing, when it takes effect and what each person must do reaches people who never open the attachment. Storyvalo drafts it from the policy itself, and you keep rules and deadlines in the policy’s exact words.
Opens the studio with an editable policy update video brief. Sign in or create a free account first; nothing is generated or charged until you continue.
A good fit when
- A policy is changing and people need to act on it.
- The full document is long or formal.
- HR, legal or compliance can review the script before release.
The closest real example
This export explains a fictional internal policy change from its source document, keeping the message short and practical.
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.
Policy update video, step by step
Upload the policy
Add the policy as a PDF, text or Markdown file. Include the previous version only if the video should compare the two.
State the four essentials
The starter asks for what changes, when, who it applies to and what to do. Add any specific deadline or contact in the brief.
Get the script approved
Download the script and have the policy owner review it before rendering. Keep exact wording for obligations and dates.
Publish internally
Render with captions and share it through your intranet or LMS, with a link to the full policy.
The video supports the policy
The written policy remains the authority. Say so in the final scene and link to it. A summary will always leave out detail, so the video should send people to the document for anything beyond the essentials.
Keep tone neutral
Policy updates can be sensitive. Ask for a calm, factual tone in the brief and avoid stock footage that could suggest a specific team or situation.
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 policy document into a short video for employees. Explain what is changing, when it takes effect, who it applies to and what each person needs to do. Keep the policy's own wording for rules and deadlines and tell viewers where to read the full policy. 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 this legal or compliance advice?
No. Storyvalo helps produce the video; your policy owner and advisers decide what it must say. Review every scene before sharing.
Can employees watch it privately?
Share an unlisted, expiring viewing link, or download the MP4 and host it on your own intranet or learning platform.
Can the video be in several languages?
Narration supports English, Spanish, French, German and Portuguese. Make a draft per language and have each reviewed.
