Templates are the little factories that generate our videos.

The steps involved in creating a Template:

Let's get started.

First let's create a new Template:

Then let's record our video. You can either do this by:

A) recording the video in the browser directly using the "Record Video" button:

or

B) recording a video using your software of choice (e.g. Camera on Windows, or PhotoBooth on Mac, Loom, etc.), and upload it afterwards:

For this example, our script will be simple:

"{HEY NAME}, how's it going? I'm Ashwin, CEO at Dopplio... and I noticed you were hiring on your website"

Here we have two options for recording our video, using the Lip Sync method or the "Wave" method. Either method works fine.

If we want to AI to lip sync our video, we make sure to keep our mouth closed during the "HEY NAME" portion of the script. Like so:

If we want to avoid AI Lip Sync (or don't have it enabled), then we can use the "wave" method, where we use our hand to cover our mouth with a wave while saying "Hey Penelope". Like so:

Once you're happy with your video, click "Continue" to save the video (or upload the video if choosing to record it on your own computer)

Next, we need to specify how many background images we want to show up, and how long each one should last. In this example, we want it to look something like this:

The first image should be the prospect's company page that displays for 5 seconds

The second image should be the prospect's company's careers page that displays for the remainder of the video

We'll start by clicking 'Add' in the background image slot section to add a second background image slot.

Next, we'll specify both these slots as "Variable", since they'll be changing for each video (since every prospect has a different company and careers page)

Finally, we'll specify the duration of each slot.

Set the first slot to "5" (for "5 seconds")

Set the second slot to "1" (we always set the last background slot duration to "1", because by default it shows for the remainder of the video)

Next we'll move on to adding Audio Splice slots for our customized greeting

To figure out where your audio splice slot should start and end, play your base video and notice where your greeting (the "HI {NAME}") starts and ends

We notice our "Hi Penelope" (in the wave method) starts almost immediately at 0.3 seconds, and finishes at around 1.5 seconds, so we make that the start and end of our Audio Splice Step:

Note: generally these are not perfect your first time. After generating a video, you'll typically notice what needs changing and tweak the video 2-3 times to get them perfect.

(If using the AI Lip Sync method, just select the start and end of the "silent" period where your greeting will go)

Now we just select whether we want AI Lip-Sync enabled (if you used the "wave" method, select "Disabled")

And then click Save Template to wrap things up.
