What our clients say
Learn what customers think after trying Alconost as their software video production agency!
The video created by Alconost is featured on our home page and gives an idea of what our software is about. We highly recommend this company to anyone who needs an explainer video for their software. Affordable service, best price on the market. Excellent quality. Excellent communication. Top-notch company and people.
We needed a video to use on our website to help educate our target audience on exactly what problems we solve and how we can help them. Alconost helped us to create our animated explainer video. We’re very happy with the final video, and it’s very reasonably priced for the quality!
The task was to create several promotional videos for our Match-3 game’s advertising campaign. It was easy to work with the Alconost video production team, we had no problems. Since they asked for our approval at every production stage, the edits to the final videos were minimal, and we got quality promo videos.
Fast, quick, and responsive to our changing requirements for various projects.
Alconost gets the most out of their voice actors. Whatever you're looking for, they make it happen. :) It's nice that the company is ready to fulfill complex, unusual orders. There are many artists with "advertising-sounding" voices in the marketplace. It's nice to be able to assign a complex voice acting job to a project manager and to make corrections. And all this in several languages!
We’ve worked with Alconost for many years now. The fact that we can go to the same company to translate a website, an interface, or technical documentation, create a video clip, or record a voice-over isn’t just convenient — it’s extremely convenient.
We had to localize voice-overs of 26 training videos into English, German, and Turkish. The translations had to adhere to the timing of the original versions. Many thanks to the entire Alconost team for their professional, amenable cooperation! The task was completed successfully.
They produced a video showing our new digital product. We at Wonder Workshop are very happy with our new video! The video production process was clear. We were given multiple options for the voice-over, music, and more. Great video production!

How about creating video tutorials starring your product?
FAQ
How are instructional videos made with screen recording?
On the internet, you constantly run into instructional, tutorial, and software demo videos created with the aid of screen recording software. This technique is quite popular among amateurs. But we refrain from using this kind of software for tutorial video production.
Why do we avoid screen recording for training videos? We think this method is far from perfect in terms of visual quality and user attention management.
We use another method of screencast video production that requires a bit more qualification than screen recording, but the result is worth it. Watch our software training video examples to evaluate the outcome!
How do you make video tutorials for software?
To make an instructional video, we use a trick better than screen recording. We capture product screenshots first, and then arrange, adjust, and animate them.
This method of making a software training video allows us to seamlessly switch between windows and functions, emphasize key areas, and help viewers not to lose the thread.
So if you need a well-focused & concise software tutorial video that is easy to follow and pleasant to watch, our method is exactly what you’re looking for!
How much does a software training video cost?
The cost depends on how many scenes with animated screenshots and other animation your video needs. A software training video starts at a $400 minimum, with animated feature demonstrations priced at around $100 per feature and simple graphic scenes from $50. Share your scenario and we’ll send you a precise quote.
How long does it take to produce a software training video?
Turnaround depends on the video’s length, how many product features it shows, and how many languages you need. Once we’ve studied your product and agreed on the script, a single tutorial video is typically produced within a few weeks; a video series or a multi-language rollout takes longer. We confirm an exact timeline together with your quote.
What languages can you localize software training videos into?
We produce and localize software training videos in over 120 languages. Scripts are translated and voiceovers are recorded by native speakers only, so your instructions read and sound natural to users in every market.
How is animation better than screen recording for tutorials?
Screen recording tends to capture shaky cursors, cluttered windows, and off-brand screens. Instead, we capture clean product screenshots and animate them — so we can zoom in on key areas, switch smoothly between screens, and keep viewers focused. The result is a polished, on-brand video that’s easy to follow and simple to update or re-localize.
