What Pexo Does

An onboarding video generator that handles the whole build

Text & image to video

Build an AI onboarding video from one prompt

Start from a single line of text, a product screenshot, or a script you already wrote. Pexo drafts the narration, generates every shot, and stitches them into one continuous edited walkthrough. Text to video, image to video, and script to video all live in the same project, so you stay in plain language the whole way. No timeline, no keyframes, nothing to assemble by hand.

Guide new users to their first win

Pexo opens with a warm welcome, shows the two or three steps that actually matter, and lands on the first win so new users feel progress instead of homework. A friendly AI presenter makes it personal and burned in captions keep it readable with the sound off. The same rules that make a good explainer video work here: one idea per shot, plain words, one clear next step.

An onboarding video maker that speaks to every role

Pexo tailors the same walkthrough to whoever is actually watching, so an admin, an editor, and a viewer each hear the part that matters to them. It rewrites the script and swaps the steps on screen per role instead of forcing one generic tour on everyone. The same trick carries an employee onboarding video, where a new hire and their manager need very different first days.

Guided setup

A setup checklist they can actually finish

Pexo turns activation into a short guided checklist inside the video, walking new users through the few steps that lead to a real result. Each step is concrete and ticks off on screen, so momentum builds instead of stalling at step two. They reach the moment the product clicks before they get a chance to drop off.

One onboarding video, every aspect ratio

Pexo delivers your onboarding video natively in 16:9 for YouTube, 9:16 for TikTok and Reels, and 1:1 for feeds, anywhere from 5 to 120 seconds and up to 4K. Each ratio is generated fresh for that screen, framed for it rather than cropped down from one master. Ask for several formats at once and send the right cut to the welcome email, the in-app tour, and the help center.

Teams are onboarding new users with Pexo

We dropped a Pexo onboarding video into the welcome email instead of booking setup calls. Activation moved in the first week.

Onboarding video questions

What is an onboarding video?+

An onboarding video is a short guided walkthrough that takes a brand new user or new hire from first login to their first real result. It opens with a welcome, covers the two or three actions that matter, and ends on a clear next step. Most run 30 to 90 seconds and sit in the welcome email, the in-app tour, or the help center. If the viewer has not signed up yet, a product explainer video is the better format.

How long should an onboarding video be?+

Sixty to ninety seconds for a general welcome, and under thirty for a single feature. Pexo generates anything from 5 to 120 seconds in 16:9, 9:16 or 1:1 up to 4K, so you can cut a short in-app version and a longer help center version from the same brief without rewriting the script.

Can I make an onboarding video without a camera or a presenter on staff?+

Yes. Pexo casts an AI avatar with lip sync and voiceover, so nobody has to be filmed. Seedance 2.5, Kling AI 3.0, MiniMax H3 and Happy Horse 1.0 render the shots, and voice cloning keeps the narration in your own voice across every language you ship it in.

What is the best AI tool for onboarding videos?+

Pexo, because it finishes the whole job in one pass instead of handing you clips to assemble. It writes the script, casts the presenter, narrates, captions and edits, and it picks automatically between Seedance 2.5, Kling AI 3.0, MiniMax H3 and Happy Horse 1.0 shot by shot. Output runs 5 to 120 seconds in 16:9, 9:16 and 1:1 up to 4K, straight from text to video.

How is an onboarding video different from a training video?+

Scope. An onboarding video covers the first session and stops at the first win, usually under 90 seconds. A training video goes deep on a full workflow for people who already use the product, and a how it works video pitches the product to someone who has not signed up. Same generator, different length and audience.

How do I write a good prompt for an onboarding video?+

Use subject + action + camera movement + setting + style. For example: a friendly product specialist welcomes a new user and points at a setup checklist, slow push in, bright modern home office, warm natural light, clean corporate style. Name the role you are addressing and the first win you want them to reach, and Pexo builds the script and the shot list from there.
