Why Runthru Is The Best Software For Creating Training Videos

Training videos are now critical for effective employee training programs. Whether you're rolling out new software, conducting onboarding training, or teaching compliance procedures, video is often the most effective training delivery format. But let's face it - creating these videos with traditional tools is typically a slow, painful process that eats up valuable time.

You know the drill - record your screen, edit the footage, add voice-overs, create annotations, and then publish. Traditional training management software often makes this process even more complex, requiring multiple platforms and manual coordination between teams. And just when you finish, something changes in the software or process, and you need to start all over again.

If you've ever faced the challenge of turning training content into professional, engaging videos at scale or updating them efficiently, this article is for you.

We'll explore why Runthru stands out as the best software for creating training videos, especially for teams who need to move fast, maintain quality, and standardise their documentation across global teams.

Training Video Requirements And How Runthru Meets Them

Good training videos need clarity with step-by-step instructions that leave no room for confusion. They need consistency in their branding, look, feel, structure and messaging. They should be accessible to everyone who needs them, including multilingual teams.

Critically they need to be created and updated quickly without requiring hours from experts and allow publishing to platforms where your teams work. Runthru Instruction is designed specifically with these needs in mind.

One Click, Multi Language Video Creation

Runthru lets you create videos in multiple languages from a single content source. With AI language translation feature, you can generate training materials in over 100 different languages with just one click.

Create your content once, and Runthru automatically produces versions in any language you need. For global teams or companies serving diverse markets, this feature alone can save weeks of translation and production time.

Create Once, Export As Video In Minutes

Traditionally, creating a training video means scripting, screen recording, editing, and audio production all from scratch. Each step requires different tools and skills.

Runthru flips this process. You write once - just like you’re creating a manual - and then convert it into a training video with just a few clicks. It generates voice narration, adds on-screen text, creates step-by-step transitions, and handles all the visual formatting. What used to take hours now takes minutes with professional results. For example, in software training, Runthru eliminates the traditional barriers between documentation and video creation. Teams can create comprehensive software training materials and convert them to video format instantly, ensuring consistent training delivery across all departments.

Seamless Integration With Your Existing Tools

Creating great videos is useful if people can quickly and easily access them. Runthru lets you publish directly to the platforms your team already uses every day.

You can deliver training videos directly to Microsoft Teams channels where teams collaborate. You can embed them into SharePoint Online pages or knowledge hubs. You can include them in ServiceNow knowledge articles for IT support. You can maintain them alongside written documentation in Confluence.

These digital knowledge transfer tools ensure your process training reaches users within their existing workflows, improving adoption and reducing implementation time. There's no need to upload files manually or worry about format compatibility. Everything integrates smoothly with your existing systems.

Consistent Branding Without The Manual Work

Video content should reflect your brand and training standards. But most video creation tools require you to manually add logos, set colour palettes, choose font and maintain consistent styling. It's tedious work that often gets skipped when time is tight.

Runthru's intelligent system allows you to automatically apply your company’s visual standards to every video you create. Your brand colours, fonts, layouts, and logo appear consistently without any extra effort on your part. This ensures that all your training materials look professional, consistent and on-brand, regardless of who created them or which department they're for.

Built For Change - Easily Update Your Training Videos

Software interfaces get updated, processes evolve, and policies change. With traditional video tools, these changes mean re-recording everything from scratch. Runthru takes a completely different approach. Since your videos are generated from your source output, updating a video is as simple as updating the documentation. Replace a screenshot, reorder some steps, or change some text – and all your video versions update automatically.

No need to re-record, no need to re-edit, no need to start over. This saves countless hours and ensures your training videos stay current as your systems evolve.

No Special Skills Required

Perhaps the best thing about Runthru is that you don't need to be a video production expert to create professional training videos.

Anyone on your team – trainers, subject matter experts, IT change managers, IT Trainers, HR professionals can capture processes, annotate instructions, and generate polished videos with voiceovers and subtitles.

This simplifies training creation and reduces bottlenecks. Even non-technical users can confidently produce high-quality videos for software onboarding, compliance, and more.

Comparison Of Runthru With Traditional Training Video Tools

Where traditional tools require manual recording for voiceovers, Runthru offers AI-generated, multilingual narration. While typical video software demands timeline editing skills, Runthru automatically generates videos from your training steps.

The biggest difference comes when updates are needed. Traditional tools force you to manually re-edit everything, but with Runthru, one file update refreshes all outputs instantly. Standard video software also requires manual branding and formatting for each video. Runthru automatically applies your corporate layout standards to everything it produces.

The result? What takes hours or even days with traditional tools can be accomplished in minutes with Runthru, with no specialised skills or training required.
