Create training videos: Software to automate video production with DITA XML and Heretto

Video is critical to the SaaS industry. 60% of companies see video as the key to 
self-service support, according to the State of SaaS Customer Success and Product Training Videos Report.

Additionally, 93% believe video is crucial for customer acquisition and retention. 
But the ever-changing nature of SaaS means that those videos are constantly out of date.

Unless, of course, you use an AI and automation tool like Videate.

If you’re part of a technical writing team at a SaaS company looking to streamline your video documentation process, look no further than Videate and its integration for the Heretto Component Content Management System (CCMS).

It will revolutionize your approach to video training and documentation creation.

Streamlining video documentation production: Videate’s integration with Heretto CCMS

The Heretto/Videate integration provides a seamless way to transform DITA documents into engaging how-to videos. 

By working directly inside the Heretto editor, you can access the Videate platform through the standard Heretto side panel. This integration allows you to generate videos from the same step-by-step instructions used to produce documentation for your software products.

Your single source of XML content can now publish MP4 files, audio transcripts, and capture screenshots. This streamlined process significantly reduces the time and effort required to create high-quality training videos.

The Videate integration also enables you to produce multilingual video documentation affordably and at scale. This integration works seamlessly with translation workflows, allowing you to quickly and easily create localized video versions.

Enhance customer experience, use the best software to create training videos (spoiler: it’s Videate)

By automating video documentation production with DITA XML and Heretto, you can redefine your content strategy and enhance your customer experience. 

Early adopters of this innovative approach have enjoyed significant cost savings and efficiency gains in their video production processes.

How Videate works:

Videate uses AI and automation to remove the need for manual video editing. Simply write a script, add tags for things like mouse movements, highlights, and other effects or actions, and then render the video. Videate automatically records the screen with animations and add text to speech voiceover.

Now, you can do all that without leaving Heretto. Take your DITA tasks and use the Videate Extension to generate tags from your software. Preview your video and, if you need to make changes, fix as you go within the Videate previewer.  Videate automatically syncs the script, actions, text to speech, and languages you defined to generate a video.
