Create an SOP from a video

Turn a video of a task into a step-by-step SOP with pictures and step QR codes.

Written by Angad Singh

With Create with AI in Lean Creator, you can turn a video of a task into a step-by-step SOP with a picture and a QR code for each step.

Before you record

  • Record the task from start to finish. Short videos of about 10–15 minutes work best for SOPs.

  • Narrate what you're doing if you can. It makes the step descriptions more accurate. Silent videos still work, because the AI follows the operator's hands.

  • Keep the work area clearly in view and reduce background noise.

Create the SOP

  1. Go to Lean Creator → Create with AI and choose Video SOP.

  2. Click the attach icon and select your video.

  3. Optionally add a prompt with context, for example the part name or the language you want.

  4. Submit.

Processing takes a few minutes depending on the video length. Large files are compressed automatically.

Review and edit

  • The Preview tab shows how the SOP looks on a phone or tablet. The SOP tab shows the printable document.

  • Click the pencil icon next to any section to edit it. Manual edits in Preview appear in the SOP view after you Save.

  • You can also chat with the AI to make changes, such as adding a warning or rewording a step.

  • To pick a better picture for a step, click Change and choose a different frame from the video.

Step QR codes

Each step gets a QR code. When someone scans it with the LeanSuite mobile app, the video clip for just that step plays.

Note: Users need to be logged in to watch the step video.

Printing

Page 1 of the printed SOP holds the purpose and scope, and the procedure starts on page 2.
