What in the World are "Smart Updates"?

Hi, I’m Jenny Gale Howe, VP of Sales here at Videate.

I spend my days explaining who Videate is and what we do—and honestly, I never get tired of it. The moment people realize what our platform makes possible is priceless.

The secret? Smart Updates.

The Problem with Traditional Video Creation

Let’s be real: creating product tutorials or training videos is a grind.

• A 3-minute tutorial might take 3 weeks to create.

• Every time your product changes—UI updates, color scheme shifts, new workflows—you have to go back and redo everything.

• Once your video library gets big, the task of keeping it current becomes overwhelming.

Even if you only have quarterly product updates, that’s still re-recording your entire library four times a year. The time and money wasted is enormous.

Enter Videate: The First Solution That Updates Videos Automatically

Videate is the first and only platform that lets you automatically update your videos in seconds.

👉 Imagine this: your navigation bar moves, or your color scheme changes. Instead of re-recording, you hit refresh—and your videos update instantly.

👉 Need to update 100 videos at once? Schedule a Batch Update for Monday morning at 8 a.m. after your product release. Done.

That’s the magic of Videate.

How It Works

Here’s the game-changer: Videate is not a screen recorder like Camtasia, Loom, Zoom, or Synthesia.

Instead, our proprietary AI syncs directly with your application’s front-end code using our patented “Software Recorder.”

• Every workflow step is captured in real time.

• When your application’s code changes, your videos change with it.

• All you do is hit “refresh.”

That means you never need to re-record. Ever.

Why This is Revolutionary

Because Videate is code-connected, your video library finally scales with your product.

• No more wasted weeks re-recording.

• No more falling behind because your library is out of date.

• No more throwing money at repetitive video production. (Stay tuned for an upcoming blog from our AE, Jack Lombardi, who walks us through Videate's ROI) 

This isn’t just an incremental improvement... it’s a complete reinvention of how video content is created and maintained.
