Workflow

From PDF to publish-ready training video

Upload a PDF, pick a format, and get a publish-ready training video draft with script, visuals, and voiceover included.

Start from the source file

Reports, decks, onboarding docs, SOPs, policy manuals, and product briefs all work as source material. Pick the pages that matter and the output style.

Draft the script, visuals, and narration

Inkbolt pulls out the key ideas, drafts the narration, and builds scene visuals in one pass.

Keep the output editable

Adjust scene order, swap visuals, and update transcript snippets before the final render or after a document changes.

Use cases

Where it works best

The use cases and audiences this format fits.

Training docs

Turn internal PDFs into narrated training videos

  • Use existing onboarding documents as the starting point
  • Create consistent narrated video modules for repeated team questions
  • Reuse the same source material across multiple videos and updates

Product content

Turn launch briefs and feature docs into walkthrough videos

  • Convert product documentation into customer-facing explainers
  • Summarize dense briefs in a format that is easier to circulate
  • Create both presentation-style and whiteboard-style versions from one file

Research summaries

Make long documents easier to review

  • Condense long-form reports into a short narrated format
  • Highlight the most important sections without remaking every slide deck manually
  • Use the video output for async review and stakeholder alignment

FAQ

Common questions

Answers to the questions that come up most.

What kind of PDFs work best?

The strongest results usually come from structured PDFs like reports, training manuals, policy documents, slide exports, product briefs, and research summaries. You can also limit generation to a subset of pages if the full file is too broad.

Can the same PDF produce different video formats?

Yes. The same source document can be turned into a slide-based presentation or a whiteboard animation, depending on how you want the content delivered.

Does inkbolt generate the narration too?

Yes. The process covers script drafting, voiceover, and visual creation together, so you do not have to prepare narration separately.

Can I update the video after the first draft?

Yes. On Pro and Scale plans you can edit transcript snippets, regenerate visuals, and adjust storyboard decisions without rerunning the full project each time.
