How-to

A process goes in, a short step-by-step video that's clear even with the sound off comes out.

Free to run16:9Any project

A 30–90 second video that walks through a recipe, a setup or any process with a handful of steps. One scene stays on screen and changes step by step, a step card says where you are, and every step shows its one action with the exact amount or setting. Good for tutorials, onboarding and recipes.
