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.

Full pricingQuestions
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 from $119, most manuals $149 to $179, priced by the manual's length and shown before you pay, ready within 24 hours. Express +$50 puts your film first in line. A calm voice and calm music are included; sound effects +$2. If we can't read every step of a manual, we make a shorter film of it instead, up to 1 minute (1½ minutes on Express), at the first price, $119. Prices exclude VAT. For many procedures, credits at 10 cents each, in bundles from $100 for 1,000 credits to $1,000 for 12,000; a typical manual is about 1,490 to 1,790 credits.
