Frequently asked questions

How much can I teach in one short?

Teach one idea, not an entire topic. Link to a longer guide or follow-up video when viewers need more context.

Do captions matter?

Yes. Short-form videos are often watched without sound, so accurate, readable captions are part of the core format.

Can I use an avatar?

Yes. The template supports original narration, recorded voice, AI voice, or avatar presentation.

Can I turn a longer video into this format?

Yes. Start from an existing recording and preserve the strongest self-contained teaching moment.
