Workflow

Turn a PDF into a narrated video lesson

Upload a PDF, choose the pages you need, and pick Dry Erase, Presentation, or Whiteboard. Kinoslide drafts the script, scene visuals, and voiceover.

01See it

What the finished video looks like.

Watch how a source document becomes a reviewable storyboard with narration and scene visuals.

Product tour. This is the Kinoslide workflow, from the source document to a scene-by-scene video draft.
See actual videos

02What makes it different

Built for material that has to be explained properly.

01

Choose the pages that matter

Use a full document or select one section. This keeps a short video focused instead of squeezing an entire manual into a few minutes.

02

Pick the right video format

Use Dry Erase, a whiteboard with motion, for a lesson drawn and animated in time with the narration. Use Presentation for structured material, charts, and briefings. Use Whiteboard when a process should reveal one step at a time.

03

Review before you publish

Pro and Scale plans let you check the storyboard, rewrite narration, reorder scenes, and replace weak visuals before the final render.

03How it works

From the material you have to a video you can publish.

  1. 01

    Upload the PDF

    Attach a PDF right on the create screen, or reuse one you already uploaded. Choose the page range, requested duration, language, and video format.

  2. 02

    Kinoslide builds the draft

    Kinoslide reads the selected pages and maps the material into scenes with narration, visuals, and timing.

  3. 03

    Review, render, and share

    Check the storyboard on supported plans, then export an MP4 for an LMS, team library, or customer education course.

04PDF conversion guide

What happens after you upload the PDF

A useful result starts with a narrow page range and a clear job for the video. The format and review process depend on the material.

05Who it's for

Where this fits.

Training docs

Teach one task from the document employees already use

  • Select the pages that cover the task instead of summarizing the whole manual
  • Keep the original document beside the video for detailed reference
  • Return to the affected scenes when the source changes

Product content

Give customers a shorter way into product documentation

  • Use release notes or feature documentation as the source
  • Choose a presentation when the lesson needs interface images or reference text
  • Export an MP4 for a help centre, course, or customer email

Research summaries

Give readers a starting point for a long report

  • Choose the sections that answer one question for the audience
  • Keep charts and exact figures visible in the presentation format
  • Link back to the full report for methods, notes, and supporting detail
