Situations almost every growing company knows.
The same questions. Again and again.
New hires ask about processes that have already been explained. No reliable reference exists – so someone takes the time once more.
Small differences in quality.
Everyone runs processes a little differently. When something is passed on verbally, variations emerge — internally it rarely shows, externally it does.
When one person is missing, everything stalls.
When the experienced colleague is sick or on vacation, onboarding stalls. Processes are delayed because no one else knows the answers.
Changes do not reach everyone.
A process change was communicated – by email, in a meeting. Two weeks later, part of the team is still working with the old version.
The problem is in the system, not the team.
The symptoms look different, but the cause is usually the same: knowledge lives in people's heads, not in systems. With every new hire, every new location, every new process, the effort grows — and shows up most clearly in four places.
01 · Operational
Mistakes happen – quietly and everywhere.
When every process is explained individually, you do not get big mistakes – you get many small ones. Standards drift gradually, without anyone noticing, until a mistake shows up in customer contact.
Visible in: Complaints, error rates, inconsistent service quality
02 · Operational
Your best people are explaining instead of working.
Experienced employees spend a significant share of their working hours explaining the same matters over and over. That time is missing from value creation.
3 hours of weekly explaining × €40/h × 44 working weeks = €5,280 per person per year
Visible in: Senior workload, leadership capacity
03 · Strategic
The knowledge sits with one person.
Experienced employees carry enormous know-how – but rarely document it. Illness, time off, or resignation leave a gap that is hard to close.
Visible in: Staff turnover, absences, handovers
04 · Strategic
Growth makes the problem bigger, not smaller.
With every new employee, location, or product, the explanation effort grows. Onboarding turns from a routine task into a bottleneck – and slows growth at the very place you least expect.
Visible in: Expansion, product launches, new locations
The solution follows a clear principle.
Structure knowledge clearly – in a format that meets three requirements at once.
Central and accessible. Every employee can find the relevant information on their own – regardless of who is available right now or how long someone has been with the company.
Consistent. Everyone gets the same information at the same quality. Not the version someone just explained under time pressure.
In a format that actually gets used. Written documentation meets the first two points in theory. But it is rarely read in full – and even more rarely remembered.
The obvious options.
Agency, AI avatar, or internal team – every option has its place. The table shows where the limits are.

See what it looks like.
Four real examples in different styles – from a sober compliance course to a lively onboarding explainer video.
Travel expense reporting
Submitting receipts, per-diem rules and approval workflow for business trips.
Shift handover
Patient status, open tasks and key details – structured handover in inpatient care.
Hygiene training
Handwashing, kitchen hygiene and food safety in everyday hospitality work.
What companies use Vidancy for.
Onboarding new hires
A consistent welcome journey for every new hire – whether at location A, B, or C. Updates centrally, content identical everywhere.
Compliance and mandatory training
GDPR, workplace safety, anti-money-laundering, IT security. When the regulation changes, the video changes – in minutes, not weeks.
Product and process training
New software, new process, new Standard Operating Procedure (SOP). Your team will not get it from a 40-page PDF – but they will from a 5-minute video.
Sales enablement
New product features, competitive arguments, objection handling. Sales teams learn faster and more consistently.
Franchise standardization
50 branches, 500 new hires per year – everyone gets the same onboarding at the same quality, in the language of their location.
Knowledge sharing & microlearning
Your wiki, your concepts, your best practices become engaging learning videos. 200 pages of PDF become a learning series.
The fastest path from knowledge to training video.
From a topic, knowledge document, or finished script to a complete training video in under an hour.
- 01Choose your pathYou choose how you want to start and see the matching fields.
- 02Content and settingsFor a topic, a description with bullet points is enough. Brand Kit, voice, and language are already preselected.
- 03Create the videoA topic or knowledge first becomes a script for review, a finished script goes straight into production. After 20 to 30 minutes you receive your finished video. Exportable as MP4 in 1080p or as a SCORM package for your LMS.

Who we are.
Vidancy was founded by Marc Alexander Harpain and Friedemann Claus, two computer scientists who met in 2017 at KIT in Karlsruhe. Our goal is to give companies a simple way to turn their own content into professional training videos.
Marc Alexander Harpain
Video & Customer Process
Marc Alexander ran an explainer-video agency for six years and delivered hundreds of video projects. In countless rounds of feedback with clients, he learned what really matters in video production and where things keep getting stuck. At Vidancy he is responsible for everything around the video: a consistent, well-thought-out design and a process that feels as pleasant and frictionless as possible for you.
Friedemann Claus
Software & Security
Friedemann brings deep programming expertise and a strong understanding of software architecture, including from his time at Porsche. He is responsible for the technical side of Vidancy: making sure everything works reliably, that we truly make the most of what is technically possible, and that security and data protection run at the highest standard.
Frequently asked questions.
How long does it take to get a video?
How do you make sure my videos look exactly like my brand?
At the start, you set up a Brand Kit once – a complete profile of all Corporate Identity specs for your brand. In it you define:
• Colors: primary color, secondary color, background color and text color (each as HEX value)
• Background: how the visual background in the videos should look
• Typeface: your corporate font (or a matching Vidancy font)
• Illustration: a recommended style or your own style from 1–5 uploaded reference images plus a short description – from that, Vidancy creates a style anchor that is reused in every scene of every video
• Logo: SVG or PNG
Vidancy applies these values pixel-perfect in every rendered video. Unlike with pure AI generators, colors are not "interpreted" – they are applied 1:1, video 1 looks like video 50.
If you create videos for several brands, cover different sub-products, or run several client projects as an agency, you set up one Brand Kit per brand, product or client. The Starter plan includes one Brand Kit, the Pro plan ten, and Enterprise plans can be tailored.

Can I have my video translated into another language?
Is it possible to change something on the finished video?
Yes. Vidancy has a full editor where you can flexibly adjust the finished video – virtually every element can be swapped or changed:
• Edit the script and spoken text
• Change the voice-over speaker
• Regenerate or swap individual images / scenes
• Add, change or remove on-screen text overlays
• Reorder scenes
You only change the part that doesn't fit – not the whole video.
Who owns the rights to the finished video?
Where is the data stored?
Can we integrate Vidancy with our Learning Management System (LMS)?
Yes, in two ways: videos can be downloaded as MP4 and uploaded to any common Learning Management System (LMS) (Moodle, Cornerstone, SAP Litmos, TalentLMS, and others) – or exported directly as a SCORM package (Sharable Content Object Reference Model) whose completion your LMS tracks automatically. For the SCORM export you define:
• SCORM version: 1.2 or 2004 – depending on what your LMS supports
• Completion threshold: the percentage of watched video length at which the training counts as completed (70–100%)
• Skip lock: whether employees can skip ahead or must watch the video in full
• Resume: whether the video continues from the last position when reopened
• Player branding: logo, accent and background color of the player – applied directly from your brand kit if you wish
You save these settings as reusable profiles. One SCORM package is generated per video and language version – multiple packages are delivered bundled as a ZIP.
