What is an employee onboarding video?
An employee onboarding video is a short film that welcomes new hires and orients them to the company, its people, and its ways of working. It typically opens with a warm welcome title, then moves through the workplace, the team, and the first steps a new hire should take. HR and people teams use it to make day one feel consistent and calm, and to save the same introduction being repeated in person.
With Morphic you build this video from a text prompt in your browser. Describe the welcome scene, the walkthrough, the tone, and your brand look, then adjust and download in HD. You get warm, on-brand footage without a film crew or an editing suite.
1.
Outline the moments to cover
List the beats a new hire needs on day one, such as a welcome, a look around the workplace, and a note on where to start. A short outline keeps the video focused and easy to follow.
2.
Describe the welcome scene
Open Morphic and describe the opening frame: a warm welcome title over a bright, modern workplace that reflects your culture. Set the mood you want, whether that is friendly and calm or energetic and upbeat.
3.
Describe the workplace walkthrough
Prompt for a walkthrough scene that moves through the office or workspace so new hires can picture where they will be. Keep the same lighting and style as the welcome frame so the video feels like one piece.
4.
Apply your brand look
Ask for your brand colors and a consistent visual style across every scene. A steady look and tone makes the onboarding feel considered and reassuring rather than pieced together.
5.
Review the flow and export
Watch the scenes in order and confirm the welcome leads naturally into the walkthrough. Download in HD, then share it in your onboarding portal or first-day email.
Two frames from one onboarding video: the welcome title, then the workplace walkthrough.
