Video Generation

TourKit can automatically convert any tour into a video, perfect for sharing on social media, embedding in help articles, or sending in emails.

How It Works

Our video generation system:

1. Captures each step of your tour as a frame
2. Applies smooth transitions between steps
3. Renders at high quality (1080p)
4. Outputs MP4 format for universal compatibility

Generating a Video

From the Dashboard

1. Open any published tour
2. Click the "Generate Video" button
3. Wait for processing (usually 1-5 minutes)
4. Download or copy the video URL

Video Settings

Before generating, you can customize:

• Resolution: 720p, 1080p, or 4K
• Aspect Ratio: 16:9, 4:3, or square
• Transition Style: Fade, slide, or zoom
• Step Duration: How long each step appears

Using Your Videos

Download

Click "Download" to save the MP4 file to your computer.

Embed

Copy the embed code to add the video to any webpage:

<video controls>
  <source src="https://tourkit.software/api/video/YOUR_TOUR_ID/file" type="video/mp4">
</video>

Best Practices

For Social Media

• Keep tours short (30-60 seconds)
• Use square aspect ratio for Instagram
• Add captions for accessibility

For Help Content

• Include in help articles alongside text
• Use 16:9 aspect ratio
• Keep step durations readable (3-5 seconds)

For Marketing

• Highlight key features
• Include call-to-action at the end
• Optimize for the platform you're sharing on

Video Storage

Videos are stored on TourKit's CDN and remain available as long as your account is active. Regenerating a video replaces the previous version.

Limitations

• Maximum tour length: 50 steps
• Processing time: 1-5 minutes typical
• Video retention: Unlimited for paid plans
