Top 5 AI Tools for Creating Onboarding Videos That Convert, by Read Write We've all been there, day one at a new job, settling in, excited, and then the onboarding video starts. Suddenly you're watching a monotone slideshow with stock music from 2007, narrated by a voice that sounds like it's half asleep. Not exactly the inspiring kickoff you hoped for. Companies talk a big game about culture and engagement, but then drop the ball with training that feels like a punishment. That's where AI video tools can step in and save everyone from silent suffering. The best ones don't just spit out a generic presentation, they help you create something

that actually feels tailored and modern, without needing a film crew or a week of editing. If you want to turn onboarding into something people don't immediately zone out of, start with these. Hey Gen, HTTPS colon slash slash U2. B, HC3GWY9 is? C equals WF4LSKQMVWCKP7YO and embeddable equals true Hey Gen isn't just leading the pack, it's running a different race. From the moment you upload your script, it's clear this isn't just another AI slideshow generator. It gives you tools that feel like they were

designed for people who actually care about how their content looks and sounds. You pick your layout, add your branding, and within minutes you've got something that looks polished enough to fool someone into thinking you hired a production team. You didn't. You just used Hey Jen. What makes it stand out, though, is the AI avatar feature. These aren't weird uncanny valley faces. They're expressive, natural, and professional, exactly the kind of presenter you'd want in a live session, except they don't get tired or mess up their lines. And they make it feel like the video is being delivered by a real person, not a bot in a suit.

Combine that with the versatility of Hey Jen, come, and you've got a platform that doesn't just teach people how to doth job, it makes them want to. That's the difference between a tool that works and one that gets ignored. Synthesia. Synthesia. Synthesia has earned its spot for good reason. It's one of the few tools out there that manages to walk the line between simple and powerful. You can jump in as a total beginner, but still come away with a video that doesn't feel like you clicked, export, on a PowerPoint template.

It's all about streamlined processes that don't sacrifice tone or polish. The beauty of Synthesia lies in how easy it makes complex workflows feel approachable. Want to localize a training video for a team in Brazil? Done! Need to add subtitles, switch the avatar's voice, or make a video for compliance training that doesn't lull everyone into a nap? You're covered, you write what you want to say, choose an avatar who actually looks like they belong on a company's welcome page, and let Synthesia bring it to life. The result feels deliberate, not like something stitched together with duct tape. Creatify. Creatify is fast,

focused, and a little addictive once you start seeing how much ground you can cover with it. It's best used for shorter onboarding videos that need to get to the point without sounding like a robot delivering a checklist. Think day one orientation, quick explainer clips, or training updates that need to land clearly but not feel stiff. If you've got content sitting in Google Docs and PowerPoints, Creatify can turn that into video content before your coffee even cools off. The platform shines with repurposing. You don't have to reinvent the wheel. Just take what you've already written, pop it into Creatify, and it'll format it into a video that doesn't look like it came from a template graveyard.

For lean teams with a million other things on their plate, this tool keeps the process moving without needing someone with, video producer, in their title. Steve, AI. Steve, AI doesn't take itself too seriously, which is part of its charm. The interface feels more like a creative tool than a piece of enterprise software, and that's a good thing when you're trying to make something that doesn't put people to sleep. It leans into animation, playful transitions, and light customization that gives your onboarding videos more personality without turning them into cartoons.

If your company culture is a little less buttoned up and a little more real talk, Steve. AI can help you strike that balance. It's especially good for explaining processes that might feel dry on paper, benefits, security protocols, workflow overviews, or even onboarding a new product designer. But could be mad more digestible with visuals and a tone that feels human. You don't need to be a designer to get something good out of it, either. You just need to know what you want to say, and Steve will help you say it in a way people will actually remember. Clipfly. Clipfly is one of those newer tools that quietly does a lot of things right. It's simple to navigate, but powerful once you get in there. It doesn't try toadazzle you with endless features, just the ones that actually make your onboarding videos better.

You can mix video clips, screen recordings, music, voiceovers, and motion graphics all within a clean interface that doesn't require a 3-hour YouTube tutorial to figure out. Clipfly really nails the editing side. If you've got multiple team members involved, say, someone handling voiceover, another working on visuals, and someone else obsessing over timing, it all comes together smoothly. And because everything's drag and drop with live preview, you're not guessing what the final product will look like. For companies that want a more hands-on approach without going full film school, this one hits a sweet spot. Wrapped up, creating onboarding videos shouldn't feel like a chore. These AI tools make IT easy to build something you're not embarrassed to share, and that people will actually finish watching. Whether you're bringing in a new hire or guiding a client through your platform,
