The short version

What makes the lesson part of a series?

A branded training video uses a recognizable opening and visual identity while the lesson itself teaches one task. In ngram, save an approved opening clip in Brand Kit, choose it for a lesson, and optionally let the lesson title appear over it. The video below uses a demo academy brand.

A saved opening, followed by the lesson

This finished example shows the result. The intro/outro guide explains how to upload and select the opening.

Workshop safety basics: a lesson with an uploaded intro

The academy opening carries the lesson title, then gives way to a short illustrated module and recap.

Read the transcript

Welcome to module three: workshop safety basics. Before you touch any tool, follow three habits. One: wear your safety glasses and gloves. Two: know where the nearest emergency stop is. Three: clear loose tools off the bench. Three quick checks. Every shift. Let's get started.

A lesson built around an approved recording

A separate demo lesson keeps the supplied instructor voiceover and background track.

Welcome to Northwind Academy. In this module, we'll cover three checks before you start the lathe. First, tie back loose sleeves and hair. Second, make sure the chuck key is removed. Third, stand clear of the spin line when you switch on. Three checks. Every time.

Playbook

Keep the opening useful

Keep repeated material short

Use the opener to identify the course and lesson. Start the explanation promptly so repeat learners can reach the task.

Give every lesson its own title

Enable the uploaded slide's text overlay when one opener should name several lessons. Keep permanent text in the source clip clear of the title area.

Check the transition with sound on

Play the join between the opener and narration. Mute the uploaded clip in its settings when the original sound competes with the lesson.

Choose the right frame shape

Save a landscape, vertical or square opening to match the lesson. Check the finished frame so the logo and title remain visible.

How it works

Make your next lesson

Save and choose the course opening

Upload your opening under Intro slides in Brand Kit. In the new-video brief, choose that kit and the saved intro under Intro and outro slides.

Questions about recurring training videos

Does choosing a Brand Kit add the opening automatically?

Choose the saved intro or outro for each video. Both slide choices start Off, so a short refresher can begin directly with the task.

Can I use an opening my team already made?

Yes. Save an image or a video between 1 and 30 seconds in Brand Kit. Creating, uploading and changing these slides is available on Premium and Ultimate.

Can every lesson use a different script?

Yes. Keep the course opening reusable and write a separate brief for each lesson. Supply the current approved procedure and review the planned explanation before making the video.

Can changing the saved opening update existing lessons?

Use the revised opening for future lessons. To change a finished lesson, edit that video and replace its opening slide.
