In this interview, Curtis Whitfill, VP of Continuing Education at VRC Investigations, shares how his team uses Pictory to transform long compliance sessions into dynamic video trainings.
The Challenge
Curtis faced several challenges before using Pictory:
- Delivering engaging compliance training
Compliance training is mandatory, so learners often approach it with negativity or disinterest. Curtis needed a way to make the sessions less monotonous and more engaging. - Limited training formats
Much of the training was live (in-person or recorded sessions), which could run 1–2 hours and risked losing learner attention. Breaking it up with different learning styles was difficult without better tools. - Reaching dispersed audiences
Especially after COVID, reaching audiences online became critical. He was already trying to adapt with video, but producing at scale was still a challenge. - High effort to create professional video content
Before Pictory, creating videos meant lots of manual work: writing scripts, fine-tuning visuals, selecting images/video, adding background audio, and ensuring it looked professional. This was time-consuming and required a lot of interaction with the tools available then. - Technology gap in video creation
He was searching for solutions that would let him stay on the “cutting edge” of video tech but hadn’t found something that gave him both quality and ease of use.
The Solution
Pictory solved Curtis’s challenges by giving him an easy way to turn compliance training into engaging, professional-quality videos without the heavy time investment or technical barriers of traditional production.
Instead of relying solely on long, monotonous sessions, he can now break trainings into varied, visually rich segments—using tools like script-to-video and PowerPoint-to-video—to keep learners engaged and make mandatory content more enjoyable. Pictory also helped him reach dispersed audiences more effectively, scale video creation across his programs, and maintain the high standard of quality his clients expect, all while saving time and simplifying the process.
The Results
With Pictory, Curtis was able to consistently produce high-quality training videos that not only upheld VRC Investigations’ reputation for excellence but also transformed the learner experience. Client surveys showed overwhelmingly positive feedback—often five stars—for the addition of video, with employees describing the compliance training as more engaging and enjoyable rather than a chore. By breaking up long sessions and offering content in multiple learning styles, Pictory helped Curtis turn what was once seen as dry, mandatory training into a dynamic experience that clients valued and appreciated.
