FAQs
Making training videos: Your questions answered
There’s always more to learn about making training videos. Here are the answers to the most frequently-asked questions about all things training vid.
All your questions answered about making successful training videos for the workplace.
What is a training video?
A training video is a video designed to educate viewers on a specific topic. The ultimate goal of any training video is to get viewers to understand and retain new knowledge or a skill. Many businesses use training videos as an on-demand learning tool to educate employees on timely topics.
Why create training videos?
Creating a training video is the most efficient way to convey information. Face-to-face training is also important, but it isn’t always possible or necessary. Training videos give employees knowledge in a memorable format at a fraction of the cost of in-person training. Training videos are also ideal for remote employees.
What makes a great training video?
If you want to make a great training video, remember these best practices:
- Be concise: Say what you need in as few words as possible.
- Use short sentences: For onscreen text and video clips.
- Stick to one topic: Cover only one topic per training video.
- Use visuals: Use visuals like animation and onscreen text to explain concepts.
What are training videos called?
Training videos are also called instructional videos, microlearning videos, and tutorials. Each of these videos uses visuals to explain concepts to learners. In certain contexts, screen-captures, video presentations, and explainers can also be used as training videos.
Are training videos effective?
Training videos are very effective. One of the reasons training videos are effective is because people remember up to 95% of a message they see on a video, compared to 10% in text. Training videos are also especially effective for remote companies that can’t gather employees for in-person training.
How do I create my own training video?
To create your own training video:
1. Find an online video maker. Pick a video maker with training templates and scenes appropriate for the workplace.
2. Use visuals. You don’t need to record yourself on screen to make a great training video. Use on-screen text, animations, voice-over, and screen-capture.
3. Have fun. Don’t get too serious. People learn better when they’re relaxed.
How do you record a good training video?
To record a good training video, you don’t have to make a video of yourself speaking. A good training video can also be made up of animations, on-screen text, and screen captures. If you do want to record yourself, you can combine short video clips with animations and text.
How do you create an employee training video?
The easiest way to create an employee training video is to use an online training video maker that offers video templates geared toward a professional setting. With an employee training video template, all you have to do is plug your information into each scene, similar to creating a PowerPoint presentation.
How do I make a training video for free?
Most online video makers offer free trials. Make a training video for free while you have trial access. This gives you a chance to find out how long it takes you to create a training video and to better understand what your ROI will be if you subscribe.

How much does it cost to produce a training video?
It doesn’t cost much to produce a training video. If you use an online video maker, it costs a small fraction compared to producing a training video using a production company. The cost of an annual subscription to an online video maker is typically less than the cost to make only a minute or two of video through a production company.

Pro tips
4 tips for making great training videos
With Biteable on your side, making a great training video is possible even if you have little or no experience. To create truly engaging and memorable training videos, follow these four tips for success.
Get to the point
Your employees are busy people. It’s important to get to the meat of your training right away. Begin delivering key information within the first 10 to 30 seconds. Open with a quick overview of what’s covered in the training video, then jump right in.
The easiest way to keep your video on track is with a template. Biteable templates are designed to get right to the point. Regardless of your training topic, you can use a template as the guide rails for creating a concise, engaging training video.
Use a consistent style
Stick with the same visual style for every training video you make. This helps employees process the information, because they don’t have to spend time thinking about flashy or unexpected visuals.
- Include an intro scene: Add an intro scene with your logo and training title.
- Use company colors: Use company colors for the background, text, and animations.
- Choose a font: Choose a set of fonts and stick with them for each training video.
The easiest way to create a consistent visual style is with Biteable’s brand builder tool.
Biteable fetches your logo and company colors from your website and builds a selection of color combinations. Save your color combos, logo, and text style in your Biteable account. When anyone on your team creates a training video, these elements are automatically applied.
Include animated characters
Humans process and retain information best when that information is delivered in a narrative. People engage even further when they see themselves within that narrative. You can accomplish this by using animated characters to demonstrate key actions in your training videos.
The animated characters don’t have to be doing the exact action you describe in your training. A pre-built animation of a character doing something that roughly represents the action is perfectly good.
Biteable comes with a library of animated character scenes designed for common workplace scenarios. Take this one step further and change the skin tones and hair colors of the animated characters so they best represent the diversity of your team. You can do this with a few simple clicks.
Finish with a call-to-action
The learner’s job extends beyond the length of a training video. There’s always something new to be learned or practiced.
End every video with a specific call-to-action (CTA) telling employees what they should do next, along with a clickable button that makes it easy for them to take that next step.
When you create a training video, your CTA can be as simple as “Learn more” with a link to a more detailed resource. Or “Watch the next video” if your video is part of a series.
When you create your training video, use Biteable’s CTA tool to easily add a clickable button.
