A lockout/tagout procedure, drawn as it is explained.

Style: creativeLength: 2:09

Made with StrokeVideo from a plain text script, no editing. Make one like this

What the video shows

The six steps of lockout/tagout, in the order they must happen: prepare, shut down, isolate, lock and tag, release stored energy, verify. It opens with the reason the procedure exists rather than with a definition, and it spends its longest board on the step people actually skip, which is verification. Two minutes and nine seconds.

Why this format suits procedural training

A procedure is a sequence, and a sequence is exactly what a drawing that appears line by line can carry. The board is incomplete while you are still talking, so the viewer stays to see what comes next. A slide of six bullet points gives all six away in the first second and the eye stops. This is the whole reason training built as a scribed explainer gets watched to the end more often than the same content as slides.

How it was made

The narration above was written as plain text and pasted in, word for word. Nothing was rewritten. From there the storyboard, the illustration for each board, the voice and the stroke-by-stroke drawing were generated in one pass. Total time from pasted script to finished MP4: four minutes and thirty-five seconds. No timeline, no asset placement, no recording.

Doing this with your own procedures

Most training teams already have the content: an SOP, a work instruction, a toolbox talk that someone gives out loud. Paste it as the script and it is used verbatim, which matters for anything that has been through a safety or compliance review, because the wording does not drift. If a procedure changes, change the sentence and render again rather than re-quoting a studio.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use my own SOP as the script?

Yes. Paste it under 'I have a script' and every word is used exactly as written, which is what you want for reviewed or regulated content.

How long does a training video like this take?

This one took four and a half minutes from pasted script to finished MP4. A longer video takes proportionally longer; a seven-minute video is about ten.

Can it be produced in other languages?

Yes. The same script renders with narration in fourteen languages, and the drawing timing is recalculated for each, which is usually the blocker for multilingual training.

Is the content in this video authoritative?

No. It is a demonstration of the format. Lockout/tagout requirements are set by your jurisdiction and your employer; use your own approved procedure as the script.

Can I add our logo or brand colours?

Brand colours yes, through director notes. A logo file is not supported yet.
