Ready to save time and unblock video barriers?

Let's go.

#1: Quick way to start: Shortcuts

A must for first-time users! These nifty buttons help you through the steps it takes to start making a specific video, instead of starting from scratch. There are 7 to choose from:

  1. Record a script

  2. Reaction video

  3. Record demo

  4. Record together

  5. Import video

  6. Caption Video

  7. Frame video

#2: Easy way to talk to camera: Teleprompter

Why waste time trying to memorize a script or stumble over words when you can add a script to the teleprompter and read it while recording.

#3: Fun way to turn ideas into scripts: AI Script Writer

Give it a topic, a few words or sentences, tap the wand and you'll get an instant script ready to record in the Teleprompter.

#4 Fast way to react to a video online: URL importer

Hit the Reaction Video Shortcut in the library, tap Import from a URL, add the URL (TikTok, Instagram, Youtube, anything on the web), and the app will add it to the app in reaction mode.

#5: Best way to edit captions: Story Editor

You can add captions to videos in a tap, and it's pretty easy to edit them by tapping on them, but if you want to check the full transcript, tap the Story Editor icon (πŸ“) and easily scroll through the text.

#6: Simple way to record a remote guest: Send a link

Podcasting made simple – send a link to anyone, anywhere in the world by tapping the Multiplayer icon (πŸ‘€+). They'll join from a browser on their phone or computer and you can record your conversation, ready to edit in the app after.

#7: Instant way to make your video look great: Presets

The presets (main bottom menu) are video templates you can use to get a great combo of layout and effects without any thinking. There are single preset options for talking-head style videos, and double options for tutorials, reactions, demos, and conversations.

#8: Smart way to edit a podcast video: Auto Edit

All you need to do is tell the app who is who and Auto Edit will create a seamless cut that switches between speakers.

#9: Effortless way to turn a podcast into clips: Quick Cuts

Podcast clips are the new podcast, and they don't need to take hours to make. We auto-generate a set of clips for you whether you import or record in Detail.
