**Available on all plans.**

Creating high-quality documentation for your product or knowledge base can be a time-consuming task. Sometimes, the process begins with a written article that is later converted into a video. However, in many cases, it is more efficient to start with a video recording and use AI to generate comprehensive written documentation from that content.

This method not only accelerates the documentation process but also helps businesses improve their **SEO** and make content more discoverable by large language models (**LLMs**). The following guide will show you how to efficiently convert video content into clear, shareable documentation, complete with screenshots and proper formatting.

## Getting Started with Video-Based Documentation
- Record a video demonstrating the process or feature you want to document. This approach works whether you are showcasing a product walkthrough, teaching a new process, or explaining a concept.
- Once your video is finished, switch to the **Document** tab in your platform.

- Click **Generate Documentation** to let the AI analyze your video and narration, transforming your spoken content into written instructions or an article.
- Review the generated documentation. The AI will convert your narration into text and organize it into logical sections based on your video's structure.

## Formatting and Editing the Document
- Use the familiar formatting options provided by the editor to adjust headings, add emphasis, or include bullet points where necessary.
- Ensure that each section of your documentation flows naturally and retains the clarity of your original video narration.
- Group related instructions into sections with **Heading** elements for improved readability. This structure also enhances the document's SEO and helps LLMs to better understand its content.

## Adding Screenshots from Your Video
- Locate the key moments in your video that you'd like to illustrate with screenshots—such as clicks or important interface interactions.
- Rather than capturing and editing screenshots manually, use the built-in tool to grab any frame directly from your video.

- Open the **Screenshot Selector**, which highlights key events and sync markers along your video's timeline. This feature makes it easy to locate significant frames without needing to scrub through the entire video.
- Choose a screenshot that clearly demonstrates the step or action you're documenting. You can select from the list of **Sync Markers** to easily find key events in the video. Click **Add Screenshot** to insert it into the appropriate place in your article.

- For more precise visuals, use the **Crop Tool** to focus on key areas of the screenshot before inserting it into the document. This helps readers quickly understand the critical part of the interface.

## Finalizing and Sharing Your Documentation
- Once you've refined your document and added all necessary screenshots, review the content to ensure accuracy and completeness.
- When your documentation is ready, click **Export** and choose your preferred format—RTF, Markdown, or HTML. Each option preserves your formatting and screenshots.

- Copy and paste your completed documentation into your CMS system.
- Your article is now ready to be published or shared with your team and customers

## Why Start with Video for Documentation?
- Beginning with a video allows you to capture all steps accurately, making the process more natural than writing everything down first. It also helps keep instructions clear and visual, reducing misunderstandings.
- Many businesses create this type of video-driven content to enhance their website's SEO, as well as to ensure their knowledge base is indexed by LLMs for up-to-date customer support and improved findability.
- The AI-powered workflow significantly reduces the time required to produce high-quality documentation, allowing teams to focus on what matters most—delivering value to their users and customers.

## Best Practices
- Speak clearly and narrate the steps as you perform them in the video. This makes AI-generated documentation more accurate.
- Plan your video to cover all key functionalities and features that users may need documentation for.
- Utilize visual cues or markers in your video to make screenshot selection fast and intuitive.
- Take advantage of formatting features in the documentation editor to make your article easy to read and helpful for both SEO and LLM processing.
