Lesson Videos From Your Own Notes, Now on Every Plan

Some lessons are easier to watch than to read. iTutor now turns the material you uploaded into a short narrated video: the key points of your own notes, explained with moving pictures, in your language. And it is on every plan, Free included.

Until now, videos came with the Pro and Enterprise plans. From today every plan can make them: one video a month on Free, two on Basic and three on Premium, each up to a minute, or a minute and a half on Premium. That is the right length for one idea, a definition, a process or a formula, watched once before class and again before the exam.

Made from your notes, not from the internet

A video is built from your subject's own files: the topic you type, or the most important topics across the whole subject. The script follows the order of your material and uses its terms, so what you watch matches what you will be tested on.

Six kinds of film

Each style is its own kind of film, with its own scenes, camera, lettering and sound. Pick the one that suits the lesson:

Explainer: An illustrated world the camera travels through, with ideas acted out by drawn objects. Right for most lessons. — **Explainer**An illustrated world the camera travels through, with ideas acted out by drawn objects. Right for most lessons.

Animated: A cartoon: characters act the lesson out with speech bubbles, a big reveal and a quiz at the end. — **Animated**A cartoon: characters act the lesson out with speech bubbles, a big reveal and a quiz at the end.

Documentary: Widescreen cinema with painted places, documents, maps and timelines. Good for history and geography. — **Documentary**Widescreen cinema with painted places, documents, maps and timelines. Good for history and geography.

Whiteboard: A hand draws the whole lesson on one board, which becomes a mind map at the end. — **Whiteboard**A hand draws the whole lesson on one board, which becomes a mind map at the end.

Reveal: Big words land on the beat on bright colour fields. Good for definitions and key terms. — **Reveal**Big words land on the beat on bright colour fields. Good for definitions and key terms.

Keynote: A stage with one big idea at a time, glass cards and giant numbers. — **Keynote**A stage with one big idea at a time, glass cards and giant numbers.

When a lesson is about a shape or a structure, such as a molecule, an organ or a machine, the video adds a short 3D moment by itself, drawn in the style you chose. A programming lesson gets a code editor that types the example and runs it.

Pick the length, the language and the voice

Ask the tutor in the chat the way you would ask a friend, for example "make me a short video on photosynthesis", or open Studio and choose Educational Video. A card asks a few questions:

The video card in the chat. On Free and Basic the length slider stops at one minute.

Length: a slider from 10 seconds up to your plan's longest video. It starts at 45 seconds.
Style: one of the six above. Explainer is the default.
Language: 14 narration languages: English, Arabic, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Turkish, Indonesian, Malay, Urdu, Japanese and Korean. The narration, the words on screen and the captions are all in that language, and Arabic and Urdu videos read right to left.
Voice: a female or a male narrator, in every language.

Ready in about 5 to 7 minutes

A video is written, drawn, narrated and then checked frame by frame before you see it, so it takes a few minutes: usually 5 to 7. It is made on our side, not in your browser, so you don't have to wait. Keep chatting, open another subject or close the tab. When it is ready it plays right in the chat and is saved in your Generated Library, and the Download button saves it as an MP4 file.

While the video is made, the card shows how long it has been going. When it is done, it plays in the chat.

What each plan includes

Plan	Videos a month	Longest video
Free	1	1 minute
Basic	2	1 minute
Premium	3	1.5 minutes
Pro	10	10 minutes
Enterprise	200	10 minutes

Every plan gets all six styles, all 14 languages and both voices. Only the number of videos and their length change.

Your videos reset at the start of each month. A video that could not be made does not count against your month, so you can simply try again.

Make your first video

Open a subject and upload your material: PDFs, Word files, slides, or photos of your notes.
In the chat, ask for a video, or open Studio and choose Educational Video.
Pick a style, a length, a language and a voice, then press Make it.
Keep studying. In about 5 to 7 minutes your video is ready in the chat.
