# Toolbox Talk Video Generator

A toolbox talk for the crew before the work starts — the task, the hazard, the controls, the question — narrated and captioned for a phone on site.

Canonical page: https://www.veedio.co/tools/toolbox-talk-video-generator
Search intent: A site manager, foreman or health and safety adviser in construction — in the UK, Ireland, Australia or the US — who gives a toolbox talk every week and wants it on the crew’s phones.

## What it produces

- 5 to 8 scenes, each with one spoken line and one generated frame
- A minute by default; 30, 60, 90 or 180 seconds are selectable in the composer (paid plans to 180s). Scene length comes from the narration's true duration
- ElevenLabs voiceover: 5 voices, narrating in any of 29 languages
- Word-timed captions burned in from the voice model's own character alignment
- A licensed music bed, ducked under the narration, loudness-normalised master
- 9:16, 1:1 or 16:9, 1080-class, no watermark on any plan

## Preset applied on this page

- Source type: prompt

## The brief this page adds, verbatim

This string is prepended to whatever the visitor types before the scriptwriter
sees it — in the free preview on this page, in the video you generate after
clicking through to the composer, and in the API when you send
`preset: "toolbox-talk-video-generator"`. It is the only difference between this page and
the others.

> Write a toolbox talk for a construction or trades crew, delivered on site before work starts. Open on the task the crew is about to do, name the hazard in plain words, give the controls in the order a worker would use them, and close with one question the foreman can ask the crew. Short sentences, practical, no jargon a new starter would not know, no scare tactics. Use only the controls, regulations, figures and site details the user gives; never invent a statistic, a regulation, a legal requirement or an incident.

## Example inputs from the page

- Working at height on scaffold: checking the tag before you climb
- Silica dust when cutting concrete: water suppression, on-tool extraction and the right mask
- Manual handling on a fit-out: plasterboard, two-person lifts and clearing the route first

## Getting started

Pick a plan at /pricing and start creating today. The widget on the page runs the
real scriptwriter with this preset and returns the script, the per-scene image
prompts and the estimated runtime. Rendering the visuals, voiceover and final
file spends credits.

## How it works

1. **Type the topic** — Working at height, dust, manual handling, plant movements. Add the controls your site uses.
2. **Check the talk** — The script comes back before anything renders, so whoever signs off health and safety reads it first.
3. **Send it to the crew** — Vertical for phones and captioned for a noisy site; landscape for the site-office screen.

## A toolbox talk the crew can watch on their phones

Toolbox talks happen at the tailgate, in the welfare cabin or on the slab, usually read off a printed sheet by someone who would rather be working. The talk lands better when the crew can see what is being described, and better again when the person delivering it has something to point at instead of a page to read.

This turns a topic into a narrated, captioned video in the vertical shape a phone plays full screen, so it can be shown on a site phone or sent to the crew’s group chat before the shift. The captions are burned in, because a site is loud, and a landscape version for the screen in the site office is one switch in the composer.

## Your controls, your method statement, your sign-off

The scriptwriter does not know your site, your method statement or the rules where you work, and it is told never to invent a regulation, a figure or an incident. Type the controls from your risk assessment — the exclusion zone, the permit, the mask your site specifies, the spotter for the reversing plant — and the talk is built around them.

A video does not replace the talk, the sign-in sheet or the training your site requires; it gives the talk something to start from. Keep recording attendance the way you do now, keep the conversation after the video, and have the person who owns health and safety read the script before it is played. It comes back for review before anything renders.

## One voice every week, and the honest limit on accents

Keep the voice, the look and the caption style fixed and change only the topic, and a season of talks reads as one series the crew recognizes. Every paid plan makes videos of 30 seconds, one minute, 90 seconds or three minutes; a longer video has more scenes and costs more credits, and you see the price before you generate.

The 5 voices are American English. There is no British, Irish or Australian voice, and we would rather say so here than after you have paid. Talks can also be narrated in Spanish, Polish, Romanian and the rest of the 29 languages, chosen in the composer, for crews whose first language is not English — and the captions follow the narration.

## Who it is for

- **Site managers and foremen** — This week’s talk ready before Monday, built around the controls already in your risk assessment.
- **Health and safety advisers** — A library of talks for every site you cover, each one reviewed once and reused.
- **Trades contractors** — Electricians, roofers, scaffolders and groundworkers with a talk to give and nobody to write it.
- **Multilingual crews** — The same talk narrated and captioned in Spanish, Polish or Romanian.

## Compared with making it the usual way

| | The usual way | With Veedio |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Input | A printed sheet from the site binder, read out at the tailgate. | One topic, with your site’s controls, typed in a box. |
| Visuals | None, or a laminated photo nobody at the back can see. | An illustrated scene per step, in one clean look. |
| Voiceover | Whoever drew the short straw, reading it cold. | A steady narrated read, re-recorded free whenever a line changes. |
| Captions | Auto-captions that drift, then an hour nudging keyframes. | Burned in from the voice model’s own word alignment, so they land on the syllable. |
| Turnaround | The hour before the talk, if it gets written at all. | Minutes, and on the crew’s phones before the shift. |
| Changing it | Re-record the line, re-cut the timeline, re-export, re-upload. | Edit the line and only its voice is re-recorded, free. A new still is free too; a new motion clip is free once per video. |

## FAQ

### Does a video count as our toolbox talk?

It is a way to deliver one, not a replacement for it. It does not record attendance, meet a training requirement on its own or replace your risk assessment, your induction or the conversation afterwards. Keep your sign-in sheet, and let the person giving the talk take the questions.

### Will it know the regulations where we work?

No. It does not read HSE, OSHA or Safe Work Australia guidance, and it is told never to invent a regulation or a figure. Type the rule or the control you want said and it will use it; have whoever owns health and safety check the script before it is played.

### Can the voice be British or Australian?

The 5 voices are American English. There is no British, Irish or Australian voice, and we would rather say so here than after you have paid. The captions carry every word either way.

### Can it be in Spanish or Polish?

Yes. The narration and captions can be in any of 29 languages, Spanish, Polish and Romanian included, chosen in the composer.

### What does a year of weekly talks cost?

Plans are monthly: Mini $7 (200 credits), Starter $19 (600 credits), Pro $49 (2,000 credits), Studio $149 (7,500 credits). A five-scene short in pictures costs 13 credits; with AI motion in every scene it costs 68. You see the price before you generate, and the first payment on any plan has a 7-day money-back guarantee. Mini ($7 a month, 200 credits) covers about 15 five-scene shorts in pictures, or about 2 with AI motion in every scene.

### Can I use a talk we have already written?

Yes. The composer’s Script tab keeps your words and cuts them into scenes, and its Link tab reads a PDF you upload. This page’s brief applies only to the Prompt tab, so a pasted script is narrated as written.

### Will it show our site or our crew?

No. Every scene is generated from the script, so it shows an illustrative scaffold or cutting station, never your site or your people. One photo of your site can be the opening frame, added in the composer.

### Do I have to sign up to try this?

Yes, a free one. Signup takes a moment and needs no card. Once you are signed in, the box at the top writes the script and the shot list for no credits — that is the part that decides whether the video is worth making.

### What does it cost?

Starter is $19 a month for 600 credits, Pro $49, Studio $149. A credit is a unit of pipeline cost rather than a video, so a five-scene short costs less than a nine-scene one, and you see the estimate before you spend anything.

### Do I own the videos, and is there a watermark?

You own them, on every plan, and there is no watermark on any plan, no resolution cap and no platform withheld. Four things do follow the plan, because they are what a video costs to make: AI motion and sound effects need Starter, and a presenter avatar and the choice of video model need Pro. Everything else — every voice, every language, every caption style, every aspect ratio — is the same on all of them.
