What is an onboarding video?
An onboarding video is a short walkthrough that gets a newcomer up and running. In HR it greets a new hire; in SaaS it guides a first-time user through the product.
Search for "onboarding video" and most results deal with employees. In that HR sense, the typical video welcomes new hires and runs through culture and logistics in two to five minutes (PlayPlay). Ours is the other kind.
| Employee onboarding video | Customer onboarding video | |
|---|---|---|
| Viewer | A new hire | A new user of your product |
| Covers | Culture, team, policies, logistics | One feature or task per clip |
| Made from | CEO welcome, team intros, office tour | Your product UI, motion design, voiceover |
Who needs customer onboarding videos?
Onboarding videos make sense for SaaS teams whose new users sign up faster than anyone can personally guide them through the product.
- Self-serve products where accounts get created with no sales call involved.
- Post-redesign teams whose tutorials still show the old interface.
- Teams with a demo video, since onboarding clips can borrow its assets and visual style.
- Customer success teams fielding the same setup question week after week.

How do we make onboarding videos?
We build onboarding videos in five steps, with the same kickoff, UI capture and style as your demo video, so new users see one consistent product.
- Kickoff. A 30-minute call to collect your demo account, brand kit and a profile of the new user.
- Task selection. Together we decide which first tasks a new user must finish, each task gets one clip.
- Script and capture. We write each clip's voiceover and record the flow from your demo account.
- Animation and captions. Motion design in your brand, with voiceover, licensed music and captions.
- Review and delivery. Two revision rounds, then final files in 16:9, 9:16 and 1:1.
What makes an onboarding video effective?
An onboarding video is effective when it teaches one task, mirrors the current UI and plays muted through captions.
- One job per clip. A new user searching for "connect your calendar" should never sit through billing settings.
- Brief. Common guidance caps even employee onboarding at 2–5 minutes, and that format spans far more ground than one product task.
- Captioned. Clipchamp and Panopto both treat captions as standard accessibility practice.
- Current screens. Cut a new version whenever the feature changes; the monthly video plan turns that around in 48 hours per request.
What's included in every onboarding clip?
Every onboarding clip ships with its script, voiceover, licensed music and captions, cut to match your demo video's style.
- We animate UI captured straight from your demo account.
- Exports in 16:9, 9:16 and 1:1, all captioned.
- Launch kit clips get two revision rounds.
- You own the final files and the project files.
What does our product UI work look like?
Our product UI work looks like the 52-second Nuveda AI launch video from October 2026: motion design and animated product UI, same as our onboarding clips.
- Nuveda AI (0:52). Motion design animating product UI, same layers as an onboarding clip.
- Cartesia (1:03). An ad assembled from AI-generated scenes, at 12,586 views on X.
Both clips sit in our work.
Which projects show this in action?
Real projects, each with the brief, the footage and the result.
