The outline: where to stand
When the media mixes with real life, you have to land in the same spot every take. Stand where you will film, then capture your outline: it goes over the camera on the Studio tab, so the next take lines up with this one.
Keep-clear zones (optional)
If the overlay has things that pass behind you or sit in front of your face, the designer can export a keep-clear image for it (clay where something passes behind, amber where it sits in front). It shows over the camera with the outline.

Before you film
What this piece still needs. Media is optional: a piece can go straight to camera.
From the content board
Pick the card this piece is for. Its title, note and beats come in, and if the card has a script doc, its script can too. Nothing is written back to the board.
Script
Paste the whole script: one line per line you say. Times are set at a natural speaking pace (and spread over the overlay, if there is one), then fine tune them on the Studio tab.
Media: the overlay
The animation or graphics that play over the camera. A video with a transparent background (WebM with alpha) plays over you and becomes the clock; a plain video or an image shows on top at the strength set by the Overlay slider. Leave it empty to record straight to camera.

Hooks and CTAs
One per line. Anything after a | is a note under it (the opening shot, or why).
Beats
Optional. Timed sections of the piece, each with its talking points (one per line). With none, the whole piece is one beat and the board's beats show as its shot list.
This piece's file
Everything lives in this browser. Save a copy to send a piece to someone else, or to keep it safe; open one to load it (the studio's own piece files open here too).
One joined sentence, said within about 3 seconds, stake first, with the opening shot doing the setup.
Teaching stance, one hard ask.
