An onboarding video that gets users to their first result

uscale turns your product's website, app or GitHub repo into a narrated onboarding video, made from your real product screens in about ten minutes.

An onboarding video shows a new user what to do first, second and third, so they reach a working result without reading documentation. uscale builds it from your actual website, app or repo, writes every narration line for you to approve first, then films or illustrates the real steps and adds voice, captions and music. The first one is free. See example videos or how pricing works.

Common questions

What is an onboarding video

An onboarding video is a short narrated walkthrough that shows a new user how to go from signing up to getting a first useful result inside a product. It usually covers account setup, the first core action, and where to go next. Companies use it inside the app, in a welcome email, or on the pricing and sign-up pages to reduce the number of users who get stuck or give up in the first session.

How much does an onboarding video cost

The first video is free. After that, pricing depends on length and how many versions you need, for example separate videos for different plans or user roles. There is no cost for the storyboard review itself, you only commit once you approve the narration lines and decide to have it filmed or illustrated.

What do I need to provide to get started

A link to your website, web app or GitHub repo is enough to start. uscale reads the product from there and drafts a storyboard with every narration line. If you want specific screens or a particular sign-up flow shown, you can point to those, but no scripts, footage or design files are required from you.

Can I ask for changes after I see the first draft

Yes. You review the storyboard and every line of narration before anything is filmed, and you can ask for changes in a chat with the director. This applies to wording, pacing, which screens are shown, and the voice or music, both before filming and after you see the finished video.

Where should I put the onboarding video

Common placements are inside the product on the first-login screen, in the welcome or activation email, on the pricing page, and on a dedicated getting-started page. Some teams also send it to support so agents can share it with users who get stuck during setup.
