Training video production

Training video production is the process of creating video content that is designed to train and educate employees, customers, or other stakeholders on a particular subject or skill. Training videos are often used in corporate settings to train employees on new processes, policies, or procedures, but they can also be used in other contexts, such as educational institutions, government agencies, and non-profit organizations.

Training video production typically involves several steps, including:

1. Pre-production: In this stage, the video production team works with the client to identify the training objectives, determine the target audience, and develop a script and storyboard for the video.

2. Production: This stage involves filming or animating the video content, using techniques such as live-action filming, animation, or screencasting, depending on the type of training video being produced.

3. Post-production: After the filming or animation is completed, the video production team edits the raw footage, adds music and sound effects, and incorporates any necessary graphics or animations to enhance the visual appeal and educational value of the video.

4. Delivery and distribution: Once the video is completed, it can be delivered and distributed to the target audience through a variety of channels, such as online learning platforms, company intranets, or physical media such as DVDs.

Overall, training video production is a valuable tool for organizations looking to deliver effective and engaging training content that can be accessed and used by employees, customers, or other stakeholders at their own pace and on their own schedule.

HR teams are using video for all aspects of their work, from virtual training and recruitment to creating culture videos and staff spotlights.

It's the most engaging and effective way to communicate educational, informative and business-critical information effectively while saving you time and money.

In fact, employees are 75% more likely to watch a video than they are to read text. And 42% of employees would rather have flexible video options – such as pre-recorded messages – in addition to scheduled virtual meetings.

Of course, if you already have a script we’re happy to take that on board, but we will have to go through it to check it syncs up with what we have in mind visually.

Your audience’s attention is valuable. You’ll be working hard to get it in the first place, so it pays not to waste it once you have it. And this means being concise in your communication. The shorter, the better.

Generally speaking, most videos are from 10 to 90 seconds long, but it all depends on where you're planning on putting your video.  Some YouTube ads are even just 6 seconds long! You just need to be sure that those 6 seconds really pack a punch. 

If you feel that your video does need to be longer, then this is still possible - just make sure the info you are including adds value.

Our production team work hard to make sure that you’re really happy with the content of your video at every step of the way. 

You'll get two opportunities to make notes on everything you want to change so you’re happy with the final product. So that’s 2 amends, 3 versions. 

Once a video production is complete, we keep the project files in storage for up to 3 years. Let’s say you’ve had a rebrand and need to make some changes — so long as it’s within that 3-year period, we can definitely accommodate that. 

The 5 phases of video production are planning, pre-production, production, post production and marketing/ distribution.

Training video is also sometimes called instructional video. They are the ideal medium for providing employees or students with learning, training and educational content.

A good training video should include relevant instructions to the task or process you're training for (with learning objectives), a clear narrative, and interactive elements to ensure understanding.

While there are numerous forms of training, the following six types of training are the most essential for employees: Orientation training, onboarding, product training, technical training, soft skills training and mandatory training.

 How to make an instructional video

How do you make effective training videos? The number one thing to do to create a high-quality training video is to make sure the content is relevant and relatable. Of course, things like visual effects, music, and other enhancements help, but if the video isn't interesting and informative, your video will fail.
