Turn developer documentation into precise videos

Upload API documentation, changelogs, integration notes, architecture diagrams, and other developer documentation to generate videos that show request paths, system behavior, version changes, and review points.

Use a visual sequence to explain a system path

Who it’s for

  • Developer relations teams

    You need an explanation that gives a new developer orientation before they navigate the full documentation set.

    • DevRel teams
    • Developer advocates
    Typical documents:API docsArchitecture diagrams
  • Product and engineering teams

    You want a release or integration change to be easier to communicate across people who own different parts of the system.

Prepare your documents

Start with the source you already trust

Turn developer documentation such as API docs, architecture diagrams, changelogs, and integration notes into videos people can follow and revisit.

  • Developer documentation
  • API documentation
  • Architecture diagrams
  • Changelogs
  • Integration notes

Before you start

  • Use the current, complete source version
  • Mark the sections, steps, charts, or figures that deserve focus
  • Identify the terms, numbers, warnings, or wording that must remain

A focused path

Explain the path, not just the endpoint names

  1. 1

    Name the viewer’s question

    State the developer’s goal, the system relationship they need to understand, and the current version or boundary that matters.

  2. 2

    Bring the source that carries the details

    Add the current source and name the sections, terms, figures, or steps that the explanation must preserve.

  3. 3

    Refine the explanation for its use context

    Have the API or product owner verify terminology, sample behavior, version references, and security-sensitive boundaries before sharing.
