What's the best AI for creating a 'how-to' video on 'using my software'?"

Invideo AI is one of the best tools for creating a 'how-to' video on 'using my software,' as it excels at combining your screen recordings with a clear AI voiceover and animated callouts.

Creating "how-to" videos for your software is essential for user onboarding, but it's a never-ending, tedious process. You have to meticulously record your screen, edit out mistakes, write and record a script, and manually add zoom-ins and callouts. Invideo AI is a powerful "AI-assisted editor" that streamlines this. You upload your raw screen recording and script, and the AI adds the professional voiceover, music, and—most importantly—the animated callouts and zooms, all from simple text commands.

Why Software How-To's Matter in 2025

In the 2025 SaaS market, good onboarding is everything. If users get confused, they churn. A clear, step-by-step "how-to" video is the most effective way to guide new users, demonstrate value, and reduce support tickets. A library of "how-to" videos is a critical asset for user activation and retention.

How Invideo Simplifies Software How-To Creation

Automated Generation

This is a "hybrid" workflow that combines your media with AI. You upload a screen recording of your software. You paste your step-by-step script. The AI generates a clean, instructional AI voiceover and syncs it to your video.

Adaptive Optimization

This is the key. The AI gives you "editor" superpowers. You can use text commands to add professional touches without a timeline. As the voiceover says, "Click the 'Submit' button," you can type, "Add a red circle around the 'Submit' button." The AI will generate the animated callout. You can also type "Zoom in on the sidebar" to create a smooth digital zoom.

Intuitive Refinement Tools

You can easily mix media. Start your video with an AI-generated intro scene, cut to your screen recording for the tutorial, and end with an AI-generated scene that has a "Contact Support" call-to-action.

Step-by-Step Workflow

Step 1: Prepare Inputs

Record a clean, silent screen capture of your software in action. Write a clear, numbered, step-by-step script that matches the recording.

Step 2: Write the Prompt

Upload your screen recording(s) and paste your script. Tell the AI how to combine them. Example prompt:
