Generate a complete Knowledge Base from a Video

This guide will show you how to automatically generate a multi-article knowledge base from a single video walkthrough of your product. With just one screen recording, you can create a comprehensive help center, saving you hours of manual writing. To get started, you will need a screen recording of your product saved as a video file on your computer.

Steps

Navigate to the Hinto homepage and click the Get Started button in the top-right corner.
Log in to your Hinto account. If you do not have an account, complete the sign-up process first.
From your main dashboard, click the Create Project button.
In the Project Name field, enter a name for your knowledge base (e.g., the name of your product).
Click Create Project to continue.
In the 'Select a template' pop-up, choose the Knowledge base option.
Next, in the 'Upload screen recording' pop-up, click the Upload button.
Select the video file from your computer that you want to use and click Upload.
Wait while Hinto analyzes your recording. This may take a minute or more depending on the video length.
Once the analysis is done, a 'Ready for Review' pop-up will appear. Click View.
Review the generated knowledge base structure in the left-hand panel. Hinto has automatically created a table of contents based on your video.
Select an article title from the list on the left to begin generating its content.
On the right, you can confirm the video source and select a content template (e.g., Conceptual Guide, How-To Guide).
Click the Generate button to create the article content.
Review the generated article. You can now edit the text, add new elements, or use the top menu to Duplicate or Regenerate the content.
Once you are happy with the article, click Save changes.

A Quick Note on Processing Time

Both analyzing the initial video and generating individual articles can take around a minute or more. For best results, keep the Hinto window open while the process completes.
