Forty lessons.
Number 12 still matches.

Set the look, the voice and the cast once on the course itself, and every lesson you add starts from them instead of from nothing. Rewrite lesson 12 in March and it comes back looking like the 39 around it.

Three lesson diagrams side by side on a dark ground, each on a pale card, drawn in the same line weight and colours.

This is for you if

You sell a course. The module you made last spring does not match the one you made this week, and re-recording the whole catalogue so it agrees with itself is not a thing you are going to do.

What it will not do

There is no screen recording. Nothing here captures your software, your slides or your face, so a click by click walkthrough of an app is the one lesson this cannot make. Everything is drawn from what you typed, which suits concepts, models, worked examples and stories, and does not suit "now click the blue button". Plenty of course sellers record the software parts and build everything around them here.

The trade

You bring one thing.
You get the rest.

You bring

One brief per lesson

What this lesson teaches, in a few sentences: the objective, the two or three ideas under it, and the example you always use. Type it or paste it from the notes you already teach off. Nothing is recorded and no deck is uploaded.

You get

A lesson that matches the rest

Look, cast, voice, music mood, format, aspect and target length live on the course, not on the video. A new lesson inherits every one of them, and a lesson you never overrode picks up your change the next time it renders. Narration, captions and a chapter chip come with it.

Frames
One lesson: a rising bar chart with an arrow sweeping over it, amber on the tallest bar.A later lesson in the same course: shapes falling through a funnel into a flask, same palette and same line weight.A later lesson again: a ring of linked nodes with one filled amber, still the same palette and line weight.
How it goes

5 steps,
and you can stop
at any of them.

Nothing renders until you have read the script and looked at the shots. If it is going wrong you find out before you have paid for it.

  1. 01

    Set the course defaults once

    A look, a voice, a music mood, a shape and a length, saved on the course rather than typed again per lesson. Before you write anything, the create screen shows you a panel of exactly what is being handed down.

  2. 02

    Pick the teaching format

    The 8 minute lesson runs three concepts with worked examples and a recap. Shorter ones: a 5 minute tutorial in numbered steps, a 3 minute how it works, a 5 minute journey through five stages.

  3. 03

    Write the brief for this lesson

    One lesson, a few sentences. It is split into scenes for you, and the split is yours to look at before anything is drawn.

  4. 04

    Read the scenes before they are made

    If the diagram in scene four is wrong, ask for the change in words and you see the diff before it is applied. You are correcting a scene, not typing over the narration.

  5. 05

    Render

    Voice, captions and a score written for this lesson: the compose prompt carries the lesson's own title and the course's mood, so the music is instrumental and sits well under the narration rather than being picked off a library.

What it costs
PlanCreator

Creator covers 30 renders a month at up to 1080p with no watermark, which is most of a course but not forty lessons inside one month. Studio lifts the render limit, which is the tier for building the whole catalogue in one go.

Questions

The ones
people ask.

  1. 01

    How does lesson 40 end up matching lesson 1?

    Because the look, the cast, the voice, the music mood and the shape of a lesson are saved on the course rather than chosen per video. A new lesson inherits them, and a lesson that never overrode them follows the course when you change it, on its next render. That is the whole argument for making a catalogue here instead of one video at a time.

  2. 02

    Can I record my screen or my slides?

    No. There is no screen capture and no upload path for a deck or a video file. If your lesson is a software walkthrough, record that part yourself. This is for the teaching around it: the concept, the model, the worked example, the recap.

  3. 03

    Can I edit the script line by line?

    No, and it is worth being straight about it. You read the scenes before they are made and send one back with a note on what should change, then you see the diff. What you do not get is a cursor in the narration. The only place words are edited directly is song lyrics, on a different kind of video entirely.

  4. 04

    What does the music sound like?

    It is a score, not a song. Three instrumental pieces are composed for the lesson itself, with your course mood and the lesson's own title in the prompt, and the long one is mixed 20 dB under the voice so it sits beneath the teaching. No vocals, no lyrics. It is written for this lesson rather than picked off a library, which is a bigger difference than it sounds when forty videos share a soundtrack.

  5. 05

    Can the same teacher be in every lesson?

    Set a Character as the course's default and every lesson casts them. They hold well inside a lesson and can drift a little across lessons made months apart, which a fuller reference sheet narrows. There is no lip sync, so they are on screen rather than talking to camera.

  6. 06

    I already teach off slides. Do those help?

    Yes, as words. Paste the speaker notes as the brief and you have written the lesson. The slides themselves cannot be uploaded, so what you are describing to us is the argument on them, not their layout.
