If you have a Fundamentals account or are using Vids with your personal account you will be able to create Vids from templates, storyboards or uploads. You can record yourself, your screen or both. You can convert Slides to videos with AI generated voiceovers. And you can use Veo 3.1 to generate 8 second AI video clips by writing prompts (10 generations per month).
If you are using a 3rd party tool for screen recording, stop! Vids can do that and you can edit the video and export it to YouTube!

Read-along Teleprompter
Read-along Teleprompter
The read-along teleprompter allows you to read from an on-screen script that automatically scrolls as you speak. Because the teleprompter is positioned directly below the webcam, you maintain eye contact with the camera and look more natural in front of the camera.

Transcript trim provides an easy way to edit your video by deleting silences or filler words directly from the video's transcript. Deleting these filler words and silences from the transcript also edits the video.
Pro tip: If you delete every "um" and "ah" and stumble to make your video "perfect" are you also making your viewers think the video is AI generated? Leaving the filler words in a video keeps the "human" in the video!
Styled Captions
Styled Captions
Styled captions lets you choose from a variety of visual styles that puts captions directly on your video. Captions make your videos more accessible! Remember to choose captions that are easy to read to enhance accessiblity.
