Work instructions video from the assembly sheet you already have

If your assembly procedure already exists as a PDF with drawings and numbered steps, we turn it into a short animated work instructions video for training, the line or field technicians.

In short

Most video work instruction tools are built for software procedures and screen recordings, or they turn a video into a written instruction. Physical assembly is different: people need to see which part, which way round, and in which order.

We make that film from the document you already maintain, so the video matches the controlled procedure step for step.

Good fits

  • Sub-assembly procedures with exploded drawings
  • Kitting and pre-assembly steps before products ship
  • Installation and set-up procedures for field technicians
  • Onboarding for new starters on a manual assembly line
  • Training for dealers and service partners who assemble or install your product

Where it isn't the right tool

If you need step-by-step instructions on tablets at every station, with sign-offs, versioning, data capture and audit trails, you need work instructions software. Our guide to work instructions software vs an assembly video explains the difference; many teams use both, with the film linked from the digital instruction.

Keeping the video in step with the SOP

Because the film is made from the procedure document, a revision is simple: send the new version and order a film for it. Keep the revision number in the file name, and link the film from the same place the SOP lives.

Captions are always included, so the film works on a noisy shop floor without sound.

Questions

Can you turn an SOP into a video?+

Yes, when the SOP describes physical steps with drawings or photos: assembly, installation, set-up or maintenance. Text-only or software SOPs are a poor fit for our films.

Is it secure?+

Each company's files are stored apart and used only for that company's films. We delete them on request. See our security page for details.

Can we host it on our LMS or intranet?+

Yes. The full film is a normal video file with no watermark, yours to host anywhere.

What does it cost?+

The preview is free. A full film is $119 for a Standard film of up to 60 seconds, delivered within 24 hours, or $169 for an Express film of up to 90 seconds, first in line. Captions are included; voice-over +$12, music +$4, sound effects +$15. Prices exclude VAT. For many procedures, packs from 5 films for $795 ($159 a film) down to $135 a film at 50 films.
