What's actually in the checklist?

The checklist covers all 8 steps of the Pictory training video workflow — from importing your source content through to final export. Each step includes specific sub-tasks, so it works as a practical prompt sheet you can follow during production, not just a summary to skim once.

Do I need a Pictory account to use it?

No. The checklist is a standalone PDF you can download and use straight away. That said, it's designed around Pictory's features — Brand Kit, AI Studio, AI Avatars, and voiceover — so you'll get the most out of it once you're working inside the platform. You can start free here.

I'm not a video editor. Is this still for me?

That's exactly who it's for. Pictory is built for L&D professionals, HR teams, and subject matter experts who need to produce clear, on-brand training videos without a production background. The checklist is written to be followed in order — no editing experience required.

What source content does Pictory work with?

Pictory can turn scripts, Word documents, PDFs, PowerPoint slides, blog posts, audio files, and existing video recordings into polished training videos. If your content already exists in another format, you're closer to a finished video than you think.

How long does it take to make a training video with Pictory?

Most teams go from script to exported video in under an hour. Tasks that used to take a full day of editing — scene structuring, adding captions, voiceover, branding — are handled by Pictory's AI. The checklist helps you move through each stage without doubling back.

Can I keep videos on-brand without a designer?

Yes. Pictory's Brand Kit lets you set your logo, brand colors, and fonts once. From that point, every video you produce pulls from the same kit automatically. Step 3 of the checklist walks you through setting it up — it takes a few minutes and pays off across every video you make after.

Does Pictory work for compliance or regulated training?

Yes. Pictory is SOC 2 and GDPR compliant, making it suitable for teams working with sensitive content or operating under regulatory requirements. Automatic captions also support accessibility standards, which matters for many compliance training programmes.

What if I need to update training videos regularly?

That's one of Pictory's biggest advantages for L&D teams. Because videos are built scene-by-scene from text, updating a process step or swapping out a policy section takes minutes — you edit the text, regenerate the affected scenes, and export. No need to re-record or start from scratch.
