It also automatically suggests image settings and scene lengths, even in a predefined corporate design. The content is stored in the GDPR-compliant Storybox cloud and can thus be accessed, filtered, and analyzed from anywhere.
The areas of application range from recruiting and employer branding to marketing and knowledge transfer. Storybox aims to be used for tutorials and instructions as well as for event documentation or workshop summaries. In this context, the company states that around 75 percent of employees prefer videos to text.
