Welcome to our friends from the Crisis Ready Institute

No, our software is all cloud-based and accessed via your browser. You can use Near-Life anywhere, any time, and don’t need to download or update any of the software – you will always have the most up-to-date version.

Yes - you will receive access to the Near-Life Academy as soon as you begin a free trial. It has a variety of resources to help guide you through creating your own interactive content. 

No, you don't have to produce your own content to use the authoring tool.

You can use the slide feature in CREATOR, which allows you to build your own custom slides in your chosen colours without leaving the platform, so you can create an interactive presentation quickly and easily. 

Alternatively, you'll have access to our animated demo videos within CREATOR, so you can get to grips with the platform and create your own interactive video without having to produce your own content. 

However, beyond this, you will need your own content to use Near-Life. Our existing customers use a range of tools - like PowerPoint, Canva and Vyond - and their own video footage to quickly and easily create engaging media for their interactive videos.

Depending on the scale and complexity of the project, you may wish to commission production or design experts to help. Near-Life™ also teams up with partners around the world to support content production, so get in touch with our team if you'd like some help in making this happen.

No, we don’t have a limit on the amount of projects you can create

With Near-Life™ CREATOR, it’s easy to share your content. You can do this directly with a link we give you, and via a SCORM or xAPI embed code. Alternatively, you can embed your interactive content on your website and share from there - like you would with any other video content.

You don't need a subscription for the free trial, but if you do go on to upgrade your account, Near-Life™ CREATOR subscriptions are available on an annual or monthly basis with payment made in advance.

If you stop your subscription during the period you’ve paid for, your access to the authoring tool will simply end when that period finishes.
