Internal Communications Video Maker

• Auto-captions for every internal communications video

  Most employees watch updates with the sound off, so captions decide how much of your message lands. EchoWave transcribes speech automatically with word-level timestamps and 176 caption presets, from plain corporate lower-thirds to word-by-word highlight styles. Fix any cue by hand, then burn the captions in so they display in every player.

• Cut the video by editing the transcript

  Trimming a rambling recording is faster as text. Delete a sentence in the transcript and the matching footage disappears from the timeline. One click removes silences and filler words like ums and uhs, which is how a 40-minute all-hands becomes a five-minute recap.

• AI voiceover in 63 voices

  Policy changes and process updates rarely need a face on camera. Type the script and generate narration in one of 63 natural AI voices, then pair it with screenshots, slides or a screen recording. Voice cloning is available as a paid feature if you want every update read in the same familiar voice.

• Record your screen or your webcam

  The built-in recorder studio captures your screen with audio or your webcam, and includes a teleprompter so you stay on script. It is the same workflow as our presentation recorder, which suits walkthroughs of new tools, dashboards and processes.

• Translate captions for global teams

  Subtitle translation, a Pro feature, covers 86 languages, so one leadership update ships with captions your offices in Berlin, Sao Paulo and Tokyo can each read. Bilingual subtitles show two languages at once, useful when a site works in English plus a local language.

• Brand kit and reusable templates

  Save company colors, logos and custom fonts once, and every announcement looks like it came from the same team. Templates with text, image and video placeholders let anyone produce a consistent update, and bulk rendering from a CSV generates up to 100 versions in one pass, one per department or region.

• Echo, the AI assistant inside the editor

  Echo is a chat panel with 39 editing tools. Ask it to remove the silences, caption the video in a specific preset, add a title slide, or zoom in on the part of the screen you are talking about. It saves a checkpoint before big changes, so one click reverts everything.

• Export an MP4 and share it anywhere

  EchoWave does not post to Slack, Teams or your intranet for you, and we would rather say that plainly. You download a standard MP4 that plays everywhere, then drop the file wherever your team already lives: Slack, Teams, SharePoint, email or your employee app. For quick one-to-one updates, see video messaging.

1. 1

   Record or upload your footage

   Upload an existing recording (MP4, MOV, WebM, AVI) or capture something new with the built-in screen and webcam recorder. The canvas sizes itself to your first clip, and 16:9 is the right call for desktop viewing.

2. 2

   Tighten it with the transcript

   Open text-based editing and delete false starts, tangents and repeated takes as text. Run silence and filler-word removal to cut the ums and dead air automatically, then fine-tune on the timeline with split and trim.

3. 3

   Caption and brand it

   Generate captions automatically, pick one of 176 presets, and correct any names or acronyms in the cue editor. Apply your brand kit colors, logo and fonts, and add a title card so people know what the update covers before a word is spoken.

4. 4

   Export and post it where your team is

   Render in the cloud and download an MP4. Free exports are HD (up to 720p) with a small removable EchoWave watermark badge and a short branded end card; paid plans remove both and go up to 4K. Post the file in the right Slack channel or Teams chat, embed it on your intranet page, or attach it to the announcement email.

• Leadership updates

  A two-minute CEO update lands better than a 600-word email nobody finishes. Record on webcam, cut the stumbles by transcript, and burn in captions so it works on mute in a busy open office.

• All-hands recaps

  Almost nobody rewatches a 60-minute town hall recording. Pull out the three decisions that matter, remove silences and filler automatically, and post a recap people can finish before their coffee cools.

• Policy and process explainers

  New expense policy, security reminder, benefits enrollment deadline. Pair screenshots or a screen recording with AI voiceover so nobody has to appear on camera, and re-render the same project when the policy changes again.

• Team announcements

  New hires, promotions, shipped projects and work anniversaries deserve more than a bullet in a newsletter. Start from a branded template, swap the placeholder text and photos, and have it in the channel the same afternoon.

• Onboarding and welcome videos

  Give every new hire the same consistent first week with welcome messages, tool walkthroughs and team intros. Record once, keep the project, and re-render whenever the process changes.

• Updates for global teams

  One update, every region. On Pro, translate captions into any of 86 languages, or use bilingual subtitles so the same leadership video reads correctly in every office.
