How Yacooti works, from brief to finished video

Yacooti makes two kinds of video for your clients. Narrated videos start from a written brief: Yacooti writes a script, narrates it, adds music and edits it in your client's brand. Recuts start from a video of someone talking to camera: Yacooti transcribes it and adds designed cards on top. This page walks through narrated videos; recuts have their own guide.

#The workflow

1. 1

   Set up a client and their brand kit

   A client is a business you make videos for. Its brand kit holds the colours, font, logo, look and narrator every video for that client uses.

   Add a client
2. 2

   Write a brief

   Say what the video should say: the business, the product, who it's for, and any offer, contact details, facts or testimonials. Only what's in the brief can appear in the script.

3. 3

   Check and edit the script

   Yacooti writes the script in a minute or so and shows it in the studio, with a silent preview. Edit any scene; fix anything the checks flag.

4. 4

   Generate the video

   When the script is right, press Generate video. Yacooti narrates it, composes music to fit and renders every format you picked. It usually takes a few minutes.

   Review, approve and download

   Your team and your client's reviewers watch it, comment and approve. Download each format with a readable file name and post it.

   Approve a version

#Where a person checks the work

Yacooti never invents a price, a number, a contact detail or a quote. Each script is checked against its brief, and anything that doesn't come from it is flagged before you can generate. The approval step is where your client confirms the finished video.
