Click Generate in the top-right corner to create your video.You can then download your training video as an MP4, get a shareable link, embed your video on a webpage, or download a SCORM version of your video and upload it to your LMS.

Step 7: Publish and share your video

The final step is to publish and share your video. Most teams distribute training videos through an LMS, company intranet, or internal communications channels.

Synthesia lets you export your video as an MP4 file, or publish it within the platform, allowing you to embed the video wherever it’s needed.

What are corporate training videos?

When I talk about corporate training videos, I mean videos created by a company to help its people do their jobs better and work more effectively as part of a professional organization. In practice, these videos usually focus on very practical outcomes, such as showing how to complete a specific task, explaining a standard workflow, demonstrating how to use a tool or product, or setting clear expectations around behavior and conduct at work.

Behind every corporate training video there’s a clear business objective. The visuals, narration, and examples are all there to support that goal and make the learning easier to understand and remember.

Common types of corporate training videos

From what I’ve seen, most corporate training videos fall into a few familiar production styles:

1. Presenter-led video narration: An on-screen instructor walks learners through the topic and explains the key concepts directly to the camera.
2. Live-action training video: A subject matter expert demonstrates the task or process on screen, with the camera capturing the action from different angles.
3. 2D animated training video: An illustrated, cartoon-style presenter appears in short scenarios or stories to explain concepts in a simple, more approachable way.
4. Whiteboard animation video: The narration is paired with drawings that appear in real time, as if someone is sketching the ideas on a whiteboard while explaining them.
5. Motion graphics and slideshow-style video: Text, icons, and lightweight animations appear on screen to support the message and keep the training visually engaging.

Key elements of a strong corporate training video

From my experience, the corporate training videos that actually work are the ones that make learning feel clear, relevant, and easy to act on. It’s not just about presenting information. It’s about designing the video so people understand what matters and remember what to do once the video ends.

Here are the building blocks I consistently see in the most effective corporate training videos:

• Clear learning objectives: Start by defining exactly what the learner should be able to do after watching the video and make those goals explicit at the beginning.
• Well-written, human scripts: Keep the language simple and direct. A good script gets to the point quickly, avoids unnecessary jargon, and sounds natural rather than instructional or corporate.
• Helpful visual support: Use diagrams, animations, screen visuals, or illustrations to explain ideas that would be harder to follow with voice alone.
• Balanced pacing: Move fast enough to stay engaging, but slow enough for learners to absorb key steps and concepts without feeling rushed.
• Realistic, job-related examples: Whenever possible, show how the training applies to everyday work situations so learners can immediately connect it to their role.
• Lightweight interactivity: Add simple moments for reflection or action, such as short quizzes, polls, or prompts that ask viewers to think through a scenario.
• Accessible and inclusive design: Include captions, make text and visuals easy to read, and ensure interactive elements can be used with a keyboard or assistive tools.
• A short recap at the end: Close with a brief summary of the main takeaways or steps so learners leave with a clear mental checklist.
• A clear next step: End the video by telling learners exactly what they should do next, whether that’s completing a task, reviewing a document, or applying the process they just learned.

12 tips for building successful and scalable corporate training programs

From what I’ve seen, creating a corporate training program that actually scales takes more than just producing a lot of videos. You need a repeatable system that keeps quality high while making it easier to grow and maintain your content over time. These are the practical principles I focus on when building video-based corporate training at scale.

1. Standardize your format, branding, and structure: Using the same visual style, layouts, and video structure across all training content makes the program feel professional and consistent. It also dramatically speeds up production once you start scaling, because teams aren’t reinventing the format every time.
2. Automate parts of production with AI tools: AI can take care of time-consuming steps like generating voiceovers, simple animations, or summarizing source material. This reduces production bottlenecks and helps teams publish training content much faster.
3. Design training in short, modular lessons: Smaller, focused modules are easier to consume, easier to update, and much easier to reuse across different learning paths or departments.
4. Adapt your videos for different regions and cultures: If your audience is global, localization matters. Go beyond simple translation and tailor examples, visuals, and scenarios so the training feels relevant to local teams.
5. Use cloud-based video hosting and delivery: A cloud platform allows your training library to scale automatically and remain available, even when usage spikes across large teams or multiple regions.
6. Connect your videos to your learning management system: Integrating your video platform with your LMS gives administrators a central place to manage content, enroll learners, and track progress without juggling multiple tools.
7. Build continuous feedback into the program: Regular learner feedback helps surface what works, what’s confusing, and what needs to be improved so the program evolves instead of becoming outdated.
8. Create a clear workflow for ongoing updates: Set an internal process for reviewing and refreshing content so changes in tools, policies, or workflows are reflected quickly in your training videos.
9. Encourage collaboration and peer learning: Features like comments, discussion threads, or group spaces help learners share experiences and support each other, which strengthens engagement across the program.
10. Make space for user-generated contributions: Inviting teams to share short testimonials, internal case studies, or best practices adds depth to your training library and helps build a sense of ownership in the program.
11. Reward completion with certificates or badges: Simple certifications or digital badges recognize progress and motivate learners to continue through different modules and learning paths.
12. Track performance with meaningful analytics: Strong reporting helps you understand how your training is actually being used. Monitor engagement, completion rates, drop-off points, time spent per lesson, and repeat views so you can make informed decisions as the program grows.
