Key features

Educational Video Maker Features for Lessons and Training

AI generates scripts from your notes

Drop in lesson notes, an outline, or a few text prompts and watch as it generates a script with natural narration and visual cues. The video script generator maps your ideas into a clear storyboard, so video creation starts quickly rather than from a blank timeline.

Captions, subtitles, and text animations

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

Edit, update, and embed any lesson

Keep content current without filming again. Change a sentence, swap an example, or update a figure in the text-based editor, then re-render in minutes. The AI video editor refreshes outdated lessons fast, and you can embed each finished video in your LMS to keep video-based learning accurate.
