Training Video Software
the SOP is the script
Your procedures are already written down. This turns them into videos people watch.
Trusted by teams, schools, and organizations around the world
Most training video software asks you to start from a blank timeline and build a course. DistilBook starts from the document your team already maintains: upload the SOP, policy or handbook, and it writes narration section by section, then stops and shows you every line before generating anything. A 10 page policy commonly becomes a 5 to 7 slide video. The first narrated slide plays about 6 minutes in, and the whole thing typically finishes in about 35 minutes. A slide costs 10 credits, signup grants 30 free, and no card is collected.
You start free: signing up gives you 30 credits with no credit card, a slide costs 10 credits, so that is a complete 3 slide narrated video you can watch end to end. DistilBook accepts PDF, Word, images, plain text, a web article link, or a written prompt, and you approve the AI narration script before anything renders. Paid plans start at $15 per month for 170 credits, roughly 17 slides, which removes the watermark and unlocks MP4 export at up to 1440p. Narration is available in 20 or more languages, and the training video software output can carry your own logo and brand colors.

How does it work?
Start from the document, not a blank canvas
Upload the SOP, policy, handbook or onboarding guide as PDF, Word or plain text. The headings become the slide breaks, so a well structured document produces a well structured video.
Choose the audience
New starters, contractors, floor staff and managers need the same procedure explained differently. The audience setting changes how the script is written, not just its length.
Read the script before anything renders
This is the step that matters for training material. Check numbers, dates, thresholds and conditional words like must, should and may, because those carry the meaning and are what paraphrasing softens.
Approve, then publish where your training already lives
You get a shareable link on any plan and an MP4 on a paid plan. Put the MP4 in your LMS if you need assignment, tracking or certificates.

What does it cost?
Generating and previewing is free. Paid plans are priced per slide, so a video costs a predictable amount.
| Plan | Price | Credits | What that makes | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | 30 credits on signup | 3 narrated slides, watermarked preview | No credit card |
| Basic | $15 / month | 170 credits / month | About 17 slides, 30 to 35 minutes of video | MP4 download, no watermark |
| Pro | $35 / month | 450 credits / month | About 45 slides | 1080p export, longer videos |
| Max | $75 / month | 1,000 credits / month | About 100 slides | 1440p export, priority queue |
One slide costs 10 credits. Yearly plans are about 50% cheaper. Full details on the pricing page.
Who is this for?
Operations and compliance
Procedures change on someone else's schedule. When the document changes, re-upload it and regenerate rather than rebooking a studio.
HR and onboarding
The handbook is revised every year and the onboarding video usually is not. This makes keeping them in sync a 35 minute job.
Small teams with no video person
No editor, no studio, no storyboard. If someone can write the procedure, they can produce the video.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best training video software if we already have written procedures?
Look for software that generates from a document rather than starting from an empty timeline, and that shows you the script before it renders. Starting from your SOP means the correct process is already in the source, so you are reviewing rather than authoring. DistilBook is built around that flow.
How much does training video software cost?
DistilBook charges per slide: 10 credits each, with 30 credits granted free at signup and no card collected. Paid plans start at $15 per month for 170 credits, roughly 17 slides. A 6 slide training video is 60 credits, about $5 on the $15 plan. Traditional training video suites are typically seat-based subscriptions costing considerably more.
Can it track who completed the training?
No. There is no viewer tracking, completion reporting, quizzes or scoring. That is an LMS job. Export the MP4 and host it where your tracking already lives. DistilBook is the production step, not the delivery platform.
How do we keep videos current when a policy changes?
Re-upload the revised document, review the regenerated script, and render again. Regenerating costs credits again, 10 per slide, which is far less than re-filming. This is the structural advantage over filmed video, where one changed sentence can mean re-recording.
Can we use our own branding?
Yes. Add your logo and brand colours once and every scene uses them. Terminology and internal acronyms are fixed at the script review step, since there is no persistent glossary today.
Does it work for compliance and safety material?
That is the case the review step exists for. Nothing is generated until you approve the script, so no unreviewed sentence reaches the finished video. For material where a paraphrase can change meaning, have your subject-matter expert read the script rather than spot-check the video afterwards.
