Turn a welcome pack, a first-week plan or a script into videos

Make an employee onboarding video series that welcomes every new hire the same way. Paste your welcome pack or first-week plan, and Atlabs builds animated videos with your office, your team as characters and a friendly guide, with no filming.

Rough Idea

Who joins and what matters

Describe your company, the role and what a new hire should know on day one. The AI writes a warm welcome and orientation script, splits it into scenes and builds the onboarding video.

A 2-minute welcome video for new hires at our design agency, covering our values and their first week.

Most Popular

Your handbook or first-week agenda

Paste your values, first-week agenda or key policies from the handbook. Atlabs keeps your wording and gives each topic its own scene, so new starters learn it in the order you chose.

Day 1: meet your buddy, set up laptop. Day 2: team intros. Day 3: tools training. Values: curious, kind, clear.

Full Script

A full onboarding script

HR already wrote the orientation script? Upload it with scene headings and voiceover lines, and each scene becomes an animated shot with your office and team characters.

SCENE 1. Bright office entrance, the mascot waves. VO: "Welcome to the team! Here's your first day."

How It Works

From welcome pack to a finished onboarding video in four steps

Paste your idea, outline, or script

Paste your welcome pack, handbook topics or a full script, and Atlabs turns it into short scenes, one topic at a time.

STEP 1

Choose a visual style & aspect ratio

Choose a warm style that fits your culture, from friendly 2D to playful 3D, in 16:9 for your HR system or 9:16 for phones before day one.

STEP 2

Lock characters, scenes, & props

Lock your office, your team characters and your mascot, so every onboarding video feels like the very same company.

STEP 3

Generate, refine, and publish

Generate the video, refine any scene, then add it to your pre-boarding email, HR system or intranet.

STEP 4

50,000+ creators & teams · No credit card required
The same welcome for everyone

Keep your office, team characters and mascot the same in every onboarding video

New hires settle in faster when everything feels familiar. Atlabs locks your office, the team characters and your mascot, so the welcome video, the culture video and the first-week guides feel like one series from one company, wherever people join.

Character consistency

Create a character once and Atlabs keeps the same face, outfit, colours and style in every scene and every video after it. New hires meet the same guide and colleagues across the whole onboarding series.

Scene consistency

Lock a setting and it keeps the same layout, lighting and mood each time it returns, so remote and office hires alike get to know the workplace before they arrive.

Object and prop consistency

Badges, laptops, tools, signs and your logo look exactly the same in every scene, so new hires recognise what they need on their first morning.

Use Cases

Onboarding videos for welcomes, culture, policies, first-week plans and remote starters

Product & SaaS Explainers

Walk new hires through the tools and systems they will use, from the HR portal to the main software, with the same screens shown accurately every time.

Educational Explainers

Explain your values, policies, benefits and how teams work, in short animated videos new hires can watch before day one.

Marketing & Social Videos

Share short welcome and culture clips on your careers page and socials so candidates see what joining is like.

Visual Styles

20+ styles. One script. Endless creative directions.

The same explainer can become a clean 3D animation, a hand-drawn whiteboard, or a playful paper-cut sequence - just by changing the style. Pick the one that fits your topic or experiment freely.

You can also train your own custom style on Atlabs - every video you make matches your unique brand look.

What Creators Say

What HR teams say after launching Atlabs onboarding videos

Our welcome series has six short videos with the same office, the same mascot and our real values. New starters watch them before day one, and the first week now starts with questions, not paperwork.

Head of People, Software Company, United Kingdom

We hire in nine countries. The same onboarding videos now go out in every language, with the same characters, so a starter in Lisbon and a starter in Manila get exactly the same welcome from us.

HR Operations Manager, Fintech, Portugal

We never managed to film staff for onboarding. The animated version took an afternoon, and when our benefits changed we updated one scene, not the whole video.
