Plan a 30-second video from one job
Pick your trade and the slate writes five shots for your phone, with what to film, what goes on screen and how long to hold each one.
Give them a reason to watch
Film: Start close on a sample flashing joint. Keep it still and fill the frame with the detail.
Say: "In this demo: A ceiling stain after rain?"
Tap a shot. Width = seconds on screen. 30 seconds in all.
Film one detail of the job
A homeowner never sees the part you fix every day. Film that part up close, explain one step in plain words, show what changed, and give one way to ask for help. Five shots on a phone is enough.
Your opening line, written for roofing in Austin:
"In this demo: A ceiling stain after rain?"
Film it safe: Roofing
Film samples at ground level. Do not climb onto a roof to get a shot. Keep the camera operator away from ladders and active work.
Hold the shot
The seconds are there to help you plan. Read each line aloud, and if it runs long, cut words or hold the shot longer.
Example: a plumbing repair in Round Rock.
This is the plan the tool writes for a plumber who films a customer job and leads with the problem. Every line below comes from the same planner you just used.
- 010–4s
Give them a reason to watch
Film: Start close on the removed sink fitting and replacement seal from this job. Keep it still and fill the frame with the detail.
Say: "On this job in Round Rock: A drip under the sink?"
On screen: A drip under the sink?
- 024–10s
Show where to look
Film: Pull back enough to show the removed sink fitting and replacement seal from this job in context. Point to one part with tools set down.
Say: "Look at the removed sink fitting and replacement seal from this job. This is the part I want to explain."
On screen: Look at this detail
- 0310–18s
Explain one step
Film: Get a steady close-up showing where the seal sits on the replacement fitting. Record the explanation separately if the site is loud.
Say: "Here is where the seal sits on the replacement fitting. Keep the view close enough to see that part."
On screen: This step, up close
- 0418–26s
Show what changed
Film: Return to the replacement fitting before it is installed. Use the same light and angle. Do not hide anything that changes the comparison.
Say: "Here is the replacement fitting before it is installed. A spare fitting lets you explain a hidden part without filming inside a home."
On screen: The same detail after the work
- 0526–30s
Give one next step
Film: End on the detail with your business name and one contact method. Leave room for readable text.
Say: "Send a photo and your ZIP code to ask about a visit."
On screen: Send a photo + ZIP code

Questions
Do I need a camera or a crew?
No. The plan is written for a phone, held still, with the voice recorded somewhere quiet if the site is loud.
Can I use a sample instead of a customer job?
Yes. Pick "Sample or demo" and the opening, the screen text and the caption all say it is a demo.
Does this tool use my camera or upload anything?
No. It only uses the choices you make on this page.
