FAQ

How is this different from a duet?

Unlike platform duets, you get a downloadable MP4 that works everywhere. You also get message overlays, style options, and the video is yours to repost anywhere.

Can I use this for educational content?

Yes. Many educators use this to explain complex clips, news events, or demonstrations by adding their voice and commentary on top.

Do I need two videos?

You need at least one reference video (bottom). For the top, you can use your video, audio only, or just a profile image.

What message styles are available?

Four styles: funny (orange/bold), serious (dark/clean), educational (white/blue), and reaction (purple/pink gradient).
