Onboarding and Training Video Production
Scripted, produced, and edited to give your people the clarity they need in their first week, not their tenth.
Why video works for onboarding
A document can describe a process. A video can show it, explain it, and make it feel like part of working somewhere real. For new hires especially, the difference between a wall of text and a well-produced three-minute video is the difference between information they absorb and information they ignore.
But most onboarding video content is generic, overlong, or visually dated. We build videos that are role-specific, direct, and produced to a standard that reflects well on your organisation — because your training content is part of your employer brand, whether you think of it that way or not.
Best for
- New hire orientation and culture overviews
- Role-specific procedure walkthroughs
- Tool and software introductions
- Member and client onboarding programs
- Safety briefings and site inductions
Three types of training video we produce
Culture and Welcome Videos
Help new hires understand who you are, how you work, and what you value — before they've sat through a single meeting. These are typically three to five minutes, conversational in tone, and designed to reduce the ambiguity that makes first weeks feel harder than they need to be.
Procedure and Process Videos
Show how something is done, not just describe it. We script and produce step-by-step walkthroughs for processes that are easier to see than to read. Common uses: equipment operation, checkout procedures, safety protocols, customer-facing workflows.
Software and Tool Walkthroughs
Screen-recorded and narrated guides to the tools your team uses every day. We capture the real interface, script the explanation, add clear visual callouts, and edit it down to exactly what someone needs to know — not every feature, just the relevant ones.
The production process
Briefing
We learn the audience, the objective, and the context. Who is watching this? What do they need to be able to do or understand afterwards? What is the tone of your organisation?
Script
We write a full script — every word, every scene direction. You review and approve it before we record anything. This is the most important step and the one most agencies skip.
Recording
Depending on the video type: screen recording with narration, motion graphics, or on-camera presenter. We handle direction, audio quality, and timing.
Edit and review
We cut, pace, and add graphics, captions, and music as needed. You get two rounds of revisions on the edit before final sign-off.
Delivery
MP4 at 1080p as standard. We can also deliver directly to your video platform, package the video into an LMS module, or provide captioned and uncaptioned versions.
Onboarding video FAQs
How long should a training video be?
Three to seven minutes for a focused instructional video is our general guidance. Beyond that, completion rates drop sharply. For complex processes, we recommend a short series of focused videos rather than one long one. Learners will rewatch a four-minute video far more readily than scrub through a twenty-minute one.
Do we need to appear on camera?
Not necessarily. Many of our videos use screen recordings, motion graphics, or illustrated walkthroughs without a presenter on screen. If you want on-camera presenters, we can advise on that approach — it depends on your culture and the content type. Some topics benefit enormously from a human face; others work better without one.
Can we update videos if our process changes?
Yes. We keep project files and source recordings, so updates are straightforward. For content that changes regularly, we design the video structure to make specific sections easy to re-record without re-producing the whole piece. We'll advise on this at the briefing stage.
What formats do you deliver?
MP4 at 1080p as standard. If you need the video embedded inside an LMS module with completion tracking, we can package it as part of a SCORM course. We can also deliver directly to Vimeo, Wistia, or any other video hosting platform you use.
