Trusted by leading brands around the world
Cinema8’s video branching tools let you build onboarding videos that adapt to different roles, needs, or learning paths. You can add choice points, organise steps into structured routes, and guide viewers through the information that applies to them. Branching helps reduce unnecessary content, shortens the time it takes for new employees or customers to understand key processes, and makes onboarding feel more relevant. With built-in analytics, you can also see which paths viewers choose and refine the journey.
How to create branching onboarding videos in Cinema8
Guide viewers through relevant onboarding steps by adding simple choices and structured pathways.
Upload your onboarding video to Cinema8 and open the branching editor to map out the key routes you want viewers to follow.
Add branching points using clickable buttons or on-screen choices. Link each option to the next relevant step so viewers only see the content that applies to them.
Publish your onboarding journey and review analytics to see which paths viewers choose. Use these insights to refine instructions, shorten steps, or add missing topics.
Why use Cinema8 for branching onboarding journeys?
Cinema8 helps teams build onboarding journeys that feel clearer and more relevant by letting viewers choose the paths that match their role or needs. Instead of presenting the same content to everyone, branching routes guide each viewer through a focused sequence of steps. This reduces unnecessary information, supports faster understanding, and gives organisations the flexibility to update or expand onboarding paths as processes evolve.

Use branching to guide new employees through the steps most relevant to their role. HR teams can create paths for sales, operations, support, or technical staff, reducing information overload and helping each new joiner learn only what they need during their first days.
Help customers or platform users explore product features in the order that suits them. Conditional decision points can direct viewers to beginner, intermediate, or advanced walkthroughs, allowing them to choose the explanations they need without navigating long, linear instructional videos.
Present realistic workplace scenarios and let viewers choose how they would respond. Each choice branches into the next step, helping teams deliver engaging safety, operational, or compliance videos in the onboarding process while understanding how viewers approach different situations through Cinema8’s analytics for onboarding.
