Key features

Educational video maker features for lessons and training

AI generates scripts from your notes

Add lesson notes, an outline or a few text prompts and watch it generate a script with natural narration and visual cues. The video script generator turns your ideas into a clear storyboard, so you can start creating your video quickly instead of facing a blank timeline.

Captions, subtitles and text animations

Make every learning video accessible from the outset. Captions and subtitles are generated automatically and stay in sync with your narration, while text animations highlight key points. Straightforward editing tools and drag-and-drop controls let you adjust any video content, and the subtitle generator refines the wording with a single click.
