Training Videos

As always, development depends on a lot of factors, especially with video. If your video requires complex motion graphics then it will take much longer than if it's a task walkthrough in software. Training videos also require more time if they need live footage that needs to be coordinated with a local production crew (we don't do that).

On a basic level, a training video from start to finish takes us about two months. That's between outlining, storyboarding, scripting, developing, and all the steps that go into developing a really good training video. Of course, you can make junk in no time at all but we won't do that for you, only for ourselves 😉

On the high end, a video could take much longer depending on its complexity, animation needs, as well as our current capacity.

The minimum two-month estimate is based on a video with a final production length of approximately 3-5 minutes. That's a decent maximum length for a training video. Any longer and you're pushing the viewer into uncomfortable territory.

The general price of a custom training video from us is kind of a loaded question. But aren't they all?

If we were to put a general price ballpark for a training video that we produce, it would range from $3,000 to $10,000 for software walkthroughs with little to no basic animation. That price can vary a great deal depending on what's needed for the video including professional voice-over, motion graphics, animation (complex or simple), or other custom elements that take more time and effort to develop.

Prices can vary between $1,000 per minute to upwards of $10,000 for extremely complex requirements.

It's always best to discuss the specifics to get a better idea of the actual production cost.

We aren't trying to control your project or even force you to work with us in the future. What if you hated working with us!? (ya right, right?)

You get the source file which for training videos that might include a Camtasia file, wave files, and possibly even an After Effects or Premiere Pro file. You just need the applications to open them but you still get the source files.

Whenever we work with you, after completing the project we'll give you the source file. That means you can work with anyone else in the world to make changes or better yet, we're always here to support you.

We love to work with the same clients again and again and would love to continue supporting your training projects. So, we're always here to help you make updates to your training video.
