01 / 05
Graphics carry the opening
The first sentence names three things. Instead of three labels fading over the presenter, the frame becomes three numbered cards while the presenter stays as a small inset.

What each request changes
Five sections, five different jobs.
02 / 05
A diagram explains the light
“Put the light in front of you, not behind” is a relationship, not a fact. The edit draws it: a light source, a person outline, and the wrong version beside it.
03 / 05
A cutaway replaces the zoom
When the phone comes up, the frame cuts to the hand holding it. A detail from the same take, not stock footage and not a zoom on the wide shot.
04 / 05
The grid shows the framing rule
“Keep the horizon on the top third line” is hard to picture. The frame becomes the presenter's own shot with a rule-of-thirds grid and the upper line highlighted.
05 / 05
The closing line gets a callout
The presenter returns with the conclusion, underscored once: gear matters less than light, framing, and audio. Captions run across the whole piece.

Section behavior
Make the frame change with the sentence.
Lead with the list
A sentence that names three things becomes three cards, not three labels.
Draw the relationship
Direction and cause are easier to show than to say.
Insert a detail
A cutaway reads as a shot; a zoom reads as a mistake.
Overlay the rule
Framing advice is invisible until the grid is drawn.
Tutorial workflow
Edit a tutorial video with AI instead of overdubbing it later.
Let the frame change hands
An explanation is easier to follow when the visuals change with the sentence. Graphics can carry a list, the presenter can carry a demonstration, and a detail insert can carry a close-up.
Explain relationships with a diagram
Directions, comparisons, and cause and effect are hard to say in words. A two-state diagram makes the relationship visible while the presenter keeps talking.
Insert a detail instead of zooming
A cutaway to the object being described reads as a deliberate shot, and it keeps the material honest because it comes from the same recording.
Overlay a grid when framing is the lesson
Framing advice is invisible until you draw it. A rule-of-thirds grid over the presenter's own shot shows the rule instead of describing it.
Caption the whole explanation
Word-timed captions make a tutorial usable without sound, and they stay editable so the text, timing, and style can be corrected later. Every layer, including the captions, stays separate and adjustable in the project.
How it works
From a presenter take to a finished explainer.
Bring in the take
Upload the recording. The original file is not cut or overwritten.
Describe the sections
Say which sentence should carry graphics, a diagram, an insert, or a callout.
Review the layers
Check each added layer against the moment it is tied to.
Correct one thing
Ask for a marker, a diagram, or a caption to be changed without rebuilding the edit.
Export the explainer
Render the finished video, or keep editing. Every layer stays adjustable.
FAQ
Tutorial editing questions.
Can AI edit a tutorial video?
Yes. Describe the changes and Captionate applies them as real layers on the timeline: step markers, a diagram, a B-roll insert, a grid, a callout, and captions.
Will it remove the mistakes from my recording?
It can cut mistakes, but that is not the point of this workflow. The source stays intact and the edit adds the information a viewer needs to follow the explanation.
Can it add graphics and diagrams to a talking-head recording?
Yes. Step markers, diagrams, grids, and callouts are added as editable layers keyframed to the spoken words.
What is the difference between this and the talking head page?
A talking head edit makes a take feel edited. A tutorial edit makes an explanation easier to follow, which is why graphics, a diagram, and a B-roll insert carry most of the work.
Can it insert B-roll?
Yes. The insert can be a detail from the same take, such as the object being discussed, so the explanation stays honest and no external footage is needed.
Are the captions editable?
Yes. Captions stay a word-timed layer with editable text, timing, style, and position.
