Chapters and roles

How-to videos teach people to do something in your app. The agent does the task on screen while a trainer-style voice explains it.

One task or a whole course

• One task: "Create an invoice and download it as a PDF."
• A course: a list of tasks ("1) create a project 2) invite a teammate 3) set up notifications") or just a goal ("a course for new volunteers"). ViralDub plans the chapters.

Each chapter opens with its title, each step's title shows on screen, and every click is highlighted.

A course keeps its state

The chapters are filmed one after another in the same session, so a course builds on itself: the tasks added in chapter 1 can be completed in chapter 2.

Roles

If your app looks different for different people (an admin, a teacher, a customer), add one login row per role. Each role gets its own chapter, planned from that role's own screens and filmed signed in as that role. Apps behind a login need the Pro plan or higher; how-to videos of public sites are included from the Starter plan.

Things the agent handles for you

• It types invented sample values, never real data.
• A task that deletes something first creates a sample item, then deletes that.
• A task that ends in a payment is filmed up to the payment screen.
• Dates are typed in the format of the video's language.
