Video Editor for Course Creators

• Record screen, webcam, and voice without leaving the editor

  The recorder studio captures your screen with audio, your webcam, or both for picture-in-picture walkthroughs. A built-in online teleprompter scrolls your script near the lens so you stop memorizing lessons. Recordings land straight on the timeline, so there is no exporting between a capture app and an editor.

• Cut mistakes by editing the transcript

  EchoWave transcribes your lesson, then you delete a flubbed sentence from the text and the matching video disappears. Automatic filler removal strips the ums, uhs, and repeated words, and silence removal tightens long pauses. A rambling raw take becomes a tight lesson without frame-by-frame scrubbing.

• Captions that work for every student

  AI auto-captions transcribe speech with word-level timestamps, and 176 caption presets style them in one click. Translate subtitles into 86 languages or show bilingual subtitles for international students. Export SRT or VTT to upload alongside your video, or burn the captions into the MP4.

• The video editor for course creators who care about branding

  Save your colors, logo, and custom fonts to a brand kit so lesson 38 matches lesson 1. Fonts you upload appear directly in the text style picker. Saved templates carry your lower thirds and title cards across the whole course, which is the same system behind our video editor for teachers.

• Batch-produce lesson intros from templates

  Build one intro template with text and image placeholders, then render a personalized version for every lesson from a CSV upload, up to 100 rows per batch. The REST API and MCP server can fill and render the same templates from scripts if you automate course production.

• Zoom pops and blur for screen recordings

  Add zoom pops that punch in on the exact button you are clicking, either by hand with keyframes or by asking Echo, the AI assistant built into the editor. Blur regions hide API keys, emails, and student data before a walkthrough goes public. The same tools drive our tutorial video maker workflow.

• Transcript export for course notes

  Every transcribed lesson exports as TXT, SRT, VTT, or JSON, which turns your edit into lesson notes, summaries, and searchable course text. Pair it with lecture transcription to convert older recordings into written material students can skim.

• Cloud rendering on any laptop

  Renders run on EchoWave's cloud farm, so a five-year-old laptop exports a 45-minute lesson as reliably as a new workstation. Free exports are HD (up to 720p) MP4 with a small removable EchoWave badge, and paid plans remove the badge and add 1080p, 1440p, and 4K for footage where students need to read small code or dense design tools.

1. 1

   Record or upload your lesson

   Open echowave.io and capture your screen and webcam in the recorder studio, or drag in footage from any camera. MP4, MOV, WebM, and AVI all import, and the canvas sizes itself to your first clip.

2. 2

   Cut it down by transcript

   Run auto-transcription, delete the false starts and tangents from the text, and let filler and silence removal clean up the rest. Split long recordings into 5-to-10-minute lessons, the length students actually finish.

3. 3

   Add captions and branding

   Apply a caption preset, fix any misheard words in the cue editor, and drop in your brand kit title card and lower third. Translate the subtitles if your students enroll from other countries.

4. 4

   Export MP4 and upload to your platform

   Render a 16:9 MP4 in the cloud and upload it through your course builder on Udemy, Teachable, Kajabi, or Skool like any other file. Free downloads are HD with a small EchoWave badge, and paid plans remove the badge and add 1080p up to 4K. Export the SRT too, since most platforms accept a separate caption file.

• Udemy lesson production

  Udemy asks for at least 720p in 16:9, so record at 1080p, cut by transcript, and export an MP4 that passes course review the first time. Tight lectures hold completion rates, which feed Udemy's rankings.

• Teachable and Kajabi libraries

  A 40-lesson library looks professional when every title card, font, and lower third matches. Save one lesson as a template, then batch-render personalized intros from a CSV instead of rebuilding them 40 times.

• Skool classroom videos

  Skool communities favor short, direct classroom videos, so split a long recording into focused 5-minute lessons. Burned-in captions keep them watchable for members scrolling with sound off.

• Software walkthroughs and demos

  Screen-record the workflow, add zoom pops on the clicks that matter, and blur anything sensitive in the frame. Speed changes from 0.25x to 4x slow down a tricky step or skim past a long install.

• Talking-head lessons

  Load your script into the teleprompter, record webcam takes until one lands, and let filler removal delete the ums. Ken Burns zooms on slides and 81 text animations keep a static camera lesson from feeling flat.

• Multilingual and accessible courses

  Caption every lesson for deaf and hard-of-hearing students, then translate subtitles into any of 86 languages as enrollments go international. Bilingual subtitles show two languages at once for language-teaching content.
