News Summary:
On August 20, 2026, TechSmith published an article discussing the utility of script-to-video AI for training, particularly when facing tight deadlines with an approved script but no recorded footage, highlighting AI's ability to assemble text into a finished video using generated narration and visuals. Previously, on August 18, the company addressed the value of screen capture software beyond basic screenshots, noting how inefficient use of such tools can lead to wasted time through blurry captures, unfindable video recordings, and tutorials requiring frequent rebuilding. Earlier, on August 13, TechSmith explored solutions for Learning and Development (L&D) teams to create tutorial videos without needing a microphone or camera, tackling common bottlenecks like booking recording rooms or managing retakes. On August 12, TechSmith published two distinct pieces. One examined whether AI can create training videos that meet L&D standards, concluding that AI speeds up scripting, narration, editing, captions, and localization when a human maintains control over learning goals, accuracy, accessibility, and final review. The other article published that day focused on corporate training video production, specifically the "build or buy" dilemma when urgent policy changes necessitate rapid updates to existing onboarding videos.
