Video
The Video Channel writes a script in your own voice, puts it on a built-in teleprompter, and lets you record straight from your webcam. You get a talking-head video without a studio, a crew, or a blank page.
What it is
Video is one of the five TrueTone Channels. Starting from a Seed (a topic idea), it generates a short spoken script tuned to your TrueTone Profile, then hands you the tools to turn that script into a finished video: a teleprompter that follows along as you talk, and in-browser recording sized for wherever the video is going.
The script is written to be spoken. It is continuous, natural, voice-aligned prose, the kind of thing you would actually say to a client, not a shot list. Alongside the script you get a title and two to five key points that summarize what the video covers.
You never have to leave the app. Read from the teleprompter, hit record, and you have a video ready to download or schedule. If you would rather film somewhere else, you can download the script as a PDF and record on your own gear.
There are no beats, scenes, or shot templates to fill in. The Video Channel gives you words in your voice and gets out of your way.
Who it is for
Any loan officer who knows that video builds trust faster than text but freezes at “what do I even say, and how do I not sound like a robot.” If reading from notes on your phone feels stiff, or if you have started a hundred videos and finished none, this is the Channel that removes the friction between an idea and a recording.
How it works
Start from a Seed
Pick a Seed (a curated topic) and generate a Video script. TrueTone writes it in your voice using your TrueTone Profile, so the pacing, warmth, and word choice sound like you. A social caption is generated at the same time, ready for when you post.
Read it and adjust the teleprompter
Open the script in the built-in teleprompter. You can set the font size, adjust the opacity so the words sit lightly over your camera view, and turn a progress bar on or off. Pick a scroll mode:
- Voice-follow advances the script as you speak, so it waits for you instead of the other way around.
- Auto-scroll moves at a steady speed you control.
Record in your browser
Choose your camera and microphone, check the mirrored preview, pick an aspect ratio, and record. A countdown gives you a beat to settle before it rolls. You can pause and resume mid-take, and re-record as many times as you want until it feels right.
Polish it in the editor
After recording, generate captions from your recording and open the editor to style them, add an animated lower third, layer in background music, and preview the branded end card. The full set of controls is covered below.
Finish and share
When the look is right, TrueTone renders your recording, captions, and branding into one finished video. Download it or send it to the Scheduler to post later; the script is always available as a PDF too.
Aspect ratios
Record once in the shape that fits the destination.
| Ratio | Shape | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| 16:9 | Landscape | YouTube, LinkedIn |
| 1:1 | Square | Instagram feed |
| 9:16 | Portrait | Stories, Reels, TikTok |
Two ways to record
The script is yours either way. Record where it is easiest for you.
Record in TrueTone
Use the built-in teleprompter and webcam recorder. Everything stays in one place: read, record, add captions, and download or schedule without ever exporting a file. This is the fastest path from idea to posted video.
Polishing your recording
Once you have a take you like, the editor turns it from a raw recording into a finished, branded video. The controls live in four tabs:
| Tab | What you control |
|---|---|
| Captions | Edit the wording of any caption line, generated from your actual recording |
| Style | Pick a caption style from visual style cards, with font and drop-shadow controls |
| Branding | The lower third and your branding on the video |
| Music | An optional background track and its volume |
A few of these deserve a closer look:
- Lower third. An animated name bar with your name, title, and license number appears near the bottom of the frame. Choose a design template, then set its position, how long it stays on screen, its color (your brand colors or a custom pick), and its size.
- Background music. Pick a track and set the volume. The music automatically ducks while you speak and never plays over the end card, so it stays an accent rather than a distraction.
- End card. Every rendered video closes on a branded card with your headshot, contact details, and company logo, with the Equal Housing logo and any compliance disclaimer included. You do not assemble it; it is built from your profile and branding.
Rendering the finished video
Composing your recording, styled captions, lower third, music, and end card into one downloadable file is a render, and a render costs 20 credits. You see the credit quote before you commit, just like any other generation.
Renders take a few minutes, and you do not have to watch them. Start the render, keep working anywhere in the app, and TrueTone notifies you when the finished video is ready to download or schedule.
Good to know
The script is spoken words only. It contains no stage directions, camera notes, or scene structure by design. What you read is exactly what you say.
Recording happens in your browser, so you need to allow camera and microphone access when prompted. Voice-follow scrolling relies on your browser’s speech recognition; if your browser does not support it, auto-scroll always works.
Not happy with the script? Regenerate it for a stronger hook and tighter pacing, or edit it directly before you record. Generating a Video script draws from your plan’s usage, the same as the other Channels.
