Tutorial video

We make tutorial videos: clear step-by-step clips that teach how to use a product, service or solve a task. Honestly and bluntly upfront: a good tutorial helps users and reduces the support load, but it is a learning asset, NOT a sales/metrics growth tool. And importantly: a tutorial must ACCURATELY match the product; on changes it becomes outdated and starts misinforming — an update is needed. A tutorial helps figure things out but will not replace simplifying a too-complex product. We honestly make clear accurate tutorial videos, without promises of metrics.

Tutorial video — overview

Tutorial video — price, timeline & scope

A tutorial video is an instructional clip: a step-by-step explanation of how to use a product/feature or perform a task, with filming/screen recording/animation, voice-over or captions. Broader than a screencast (357) — may include filming, animation, different formats. For onboarding, training, support, a knowledge base. The work: analyzing the task and audience, the script, production (recording/filming/animation), editing, voice-over. Honestly about 'a learning asset, not a metrics lever': a good tutorial helps users master the product/task, reduces the support load and misunderstanding — useful for UX and support, but it is a learning material, not a standalone sales/conversion/retention growth tool. We honestly do not pass a tutorial off as a metrics lever. Honestly about 'accuracy and currency', this matters: a tutorial must accurately match the current product/process. On changes the video becomes outdated and misinforms (the user follows an out-of-date instruction) — an update is needed. We honestly warn about this. Honestly about 'a tutorial will not replace simplifying the product': a video helps figure things out, but if the product/process is genuinely complex, a tutorial compensates for the complexity rather than eliminating it. Sometimes it is more honest to simplify the product/UX. We will honestly point this out. Honestly about 'depends on accurate data/access': for a correct tutorial access to the product and an understanding of the process are needed; without it you cannot show correctly. Honestly about the effect: it gives a clear accurate tutorial video helping users and reducing the support load, but it is a learning asset, not a sales/metrics lever; accuracy/currency are critical (becomes outdated on changes); does not replace simplifying a complex product. Honestly about access: access to the product/process and scenarios are needed. An important boundary: this is a tutorial; screencast — 357; product demo — 368; onboarding texts — 330. The base price starts from 10,000 ₽ (depends on the duration and production).

FAQ

  • Will a tutorial video raise sales/conversion?

    Not as a lever, honestly: a good tutorial helps users master the product/task and reduces the support load (useful for UX), but it is a learning material, not a standalone sales/conversion/retention growth tool. We make a clear instructional video but do not promise metrics growth from a tutorial.

  • Is a tutorial made once and forever?

    No, honestly: a tutorial must accurately match the current product/process. On changes the video becomes outdated and misinforms — the user follows an out-of-date instruction. An update is needed on changes. We honestly warn about this so the tutorial does not mislead.

  • If the product is complex — will a tutorial solve everything?

    It will help but not solve the root, honestly: a video helps figure things out, but if the product/process is genuinely complex, a tutorial compensates for the complexity rather than eliminating it. Sometimes it is more honest to simplify the product/UX than to explain the complex with a video. We will honestly say if the problem is in the product/UX itself (onboarding — 330).
