Question Interactive walkthroughs vs Screen recordings for user onboarding?

I want a faster way to build guides for new users without a week in a video editor. A full Loom or OBS session works for a quick check-in, but the edit phase for a professional tutorial takes way too much time. I decided to try Supademo for my current projects, it's a product demo software. It captures each click as a separate step. This is more practical than a static PDF or a long video because users can interact with the demo at their own pace. In your experience, do users prefer a traditional voiceover video, or is this automated approach better for engagement?

Speaking only for myself, I do not like video tutorials.
I much prefer reading and pics. I can trivially go back and forth as needed.

What type of software are you building these videos for?
