VidFlo

Waitlist open

Why step-by-step instructions are the wrong format.

VidFlo turns a long set of written steps into one animated, interactive video — built from screenshots, without any video editing.

The problem we narrowed to

Every organisation writes step-by-step instructions, and almost nobody reads them. Twenty numbered steps with a screenshot under each is a format that asks the reader to hold the whole sequence in their head while scrolling, and it fails at exactly the moment they are already stuck.

The obvious fix is a screen recording. The reason people do not make one is cost: recording, narrating, cutting and re-recording whenever the interface changes is a real production job, and it is why the written version keeps getting written instead.

Screenshots in, interactive tutorial out

VidFlo takes the assets people already have. Upload screenshots, add hotspots and annotations, and the result is a single animated walkthrough the viewer moves through themselves.

No footage, no timeline, no video editing skills. Because the source is a set of images rather than a recording, updating a step when the interface changes means replacing one screenshot instead of re-shooting the whole thing.

Shareable, embeddable, exportable

A tutorial is only useful where the question gets asked, so a VidFlo tutorial can be shared as a link, embedded in documentation or a help centre, or exported as video for the places that only accept video.

VidFlo runs on the web and the waitlist is open.

In its own words

Turns long step-by-step instructions into a single animated, interactive video. Upload screenshots, add hotspots and annotations, then share a tutorial or export it as video — no video editing skills required.
