I build accurate, narrated assembly videos from your PDF manual, with your part letters and bolt counts on screen. One product or the whole catalog, re-rendered when the factory changes a part.
No call needed. Reply to my email, or send a product link and the step number to adam@assemblyclear.com
Each one shows the parts you need for that step, a close-up where the mistake happens, and the wrong way crossed out. Narration and subtitles say the same thing, so it works with the sound off in a garage.
Which side of the stack pulley the cable sits on, the way buyers usually get it wrong, and the tension check. 28 seconds.
More on home gym →Parts check, frame, legs, feet and control box in four steps. Each bolt is counted on screen. 40 seconds.
More on furniture →Find the joist, mark the center, drive the lag 2 in. into wood. The step that decides whether it holds the rated load. 27 seconds.
More on garage storage →A graphics card and power supply swap for one specific PC, from BIOS settings to first boot. Connector labels and the “which socket?” moments get their own close-ups. A full product video for you would follow your manual the same way, every step in order.
Vertical cut for Amazon video shorts, Reels and a phone propped against the box mid-build.
Concept samples are built from public manuals. Generic models, not client work, and not affiliated with or endorsed by any brand.
I also do: grills and smokers, e-bikes and scooters, playsets, sheds and greenhouses, smart locks and doorbells.
Most “impossible to assemble” products aren’t defective. A panel went on flipped at step 2, the buyer found out at step 9, and by then the box is in the recycling. They don’t call. They return it, open a “missing part” ticket for a bolt that was in bag C all along, or leave a review about the instructions.
54% of shoppers in one survey said they would return a product that was hard to install.2 If a video prevents four bulky returns over the life of a product, it has paid for itself.
| Return of a bulky item1 | $55–400 |
|---|---|
| One support ticket, average4 | ~$16 |
| An early review that says “terrible instructions”3 | 1–2★ |
| A full assembly video for one product, used for as long as you sell it | from $1,500 |
Your engineers don’t need to be involved. Whoever answers the assembly tickets is usually the best reviewer.
A product link and the PDF manual. Photos of the hardware bag help. CAD files are welcome but optional, and nobody has to export anything for me.
I model each part to the dimensions in your manual, with your part letters and hardware names. You get one page of stills and a parts list. Mark anything wrong; it takes about 15 minutes.
Narrated and subtitled, every step in order, with close-ups and a crossed-out wrong way wherever buyers slip up.
One review round included. 16:9 and 9:16, a short clip per step with QR codes for the printed manual, subtitle files. Ready for Amazon, Shopify and YouTube.
If the first full cut doesn’t match your product, I fix it until it does. Fixes for my mistakes never use up your review round. If I can’t get it right, you don’t pay, and I refund your deposit.
After delivery, if a step turns out to be wrong for the product revision you’re selling, I fix it free within 48 hours.
I’m Adam. AssemblyClear is a small studio in Seattle, and I’m the person who builds your model, writes the script and checks every step against your manual. You’ll email with me, not an account manager.
I don’t have client logos to show you yet. That’s why the first step is a free sample on your own product: you can judge the work on the thing you know best.

The final videos are yours: use them on Amazon, your site, YouTube, in support replies, anywhere. No app for your customers to install and no per-view fees.
I keep the 3D model on file. When the factory swaps a screw or you launch a 4-foot version, the update is a re-render, not a new project, and each video carries a version stamp that matches the manual revision.
Start with the free sample. If it isn’t clearer than your manual, you’ve lost nothing and we stop there.
Any build up to 40 steps, normally $1,500. Same files and the same guarantee. I’m pricing the first five low because I need case studies: in return I ask for honest feedback and permission to show the video here once it’s live on your listing.
5 of 5 spots open · October 2026. After five brands, the price is $1,500.Prices in USD. 50% to start, 50% on delivery. Rush jobs and extra languages are quoted up front.
Every part is modeled to the dimensions in your manual and photos (or CAD), labeled with your part letters. You approve a still of every step before I animate anything, and you approve the final cut. If the first cut doesn’t match your product, I fix it until it does, and if I can’t, you don’t pay.
They don’t need to be involved. I work from the PDF manual, listing photos and a few phone photos of the hardware. The only time I need from your team is one look at the step stills, about 15 minutes, ideally by whoever answers assembly tickets. If an engineer wants to check the final cut, great, but it isn’t required.
Good, that’s what I build from. The video doesn’t replace it. It follows the manual step for step with the same part letters, and a QR code printed next to each step opens the clip for that step. People who don’t read the manual will still watch the 20 seconds they’re stuck on.
Compare it with what one confused buyer costs: a bulky return runs $55–400, a support ticket about $16, and a launch-week review about bad instructions can drag the rating for months. Four avoided bulky returns cover a video. If you want to measure it, pick one product and compare assembly-related returns, tickets and reviews for 60 days before and after.
You do. Copyright in the final videos, stills and subtitles transfers to you on payment, with no licence fees or per-view charges. I keep the 3D model so updates stay cheap. If you also want the 3D scene files, say so before we start and it goes in the quote.
The free sample: 48 hours. A full product: stills in 1–2 days, the first full cut 48 hours after you approve them, and final files in under a week including your review round. Builds over 40 steps get a fixed date in the quote.
Yes. The pictures and part letters stay the same, so only the narration and subtitles change. Spanish, French, German and others come as extra tracks and .srt files, and they stay in sync when the product changes.
I keep the model. A new bracket, a different screw or a reordered step is a re-render, quoted small, or included if you’re on the monthly plan. The new video gets a version stamp that matches the manual revision, so customers with the old version aren’t confused either.
No. Generated video can’t guarantee which way a bracket faces or which bolt goes where, and one wrong step causes the exact review you’re trying to prevent. I model your actual parts in 3D and animate them step by step from your manual. Narration uses a licensed synthetic voice by default, or a voice actor if you prefer.
For some products that’s fine, and I’ll tell you if yours is one of them. 3D does better where cameras struggle: hardware hidden inside a frame, look-alike bolts, which way a part faces, hands blocking the view, and keeping 30 products current without reshooting.
Usually you, in Seller Central or Vendor Central. It takes about five minutes and I include a one-page guide. I never need access to your account.
No and no. The sample is private and unlisted, and I never publish your product without written permission. You keep the sample either way.
I’ll animate it on your product and email it back within 48 hours. It’s yours to keep. If it helps, we can talk about the full video. If it doesn’t, tell me and that’s the end of it.
A product link and a step number are enough. If you’re replying to my email, you can just hit reply.
