Lesson and course videos

Who it's for

Teachers, lecturers, instructional designers and course creators. The concept students ask about every year, the welcome video for a new module, the five-minute recap before an exam, the lecture you give every term and would rather students could watch twice.

A good lesson video is short, shows one idea at a time and looks like it belongs to the rest of the course. Those are the three things Rubiic is built around.

What to bring

• Your outline or notes. Paste them into the chat, or link a public page or PDF.
• Who the learners are. Their level and what they already know. The same idea is a different video for a first-year class and for a professional course.
• The goal, in one sentence. What should a learner be able to do after watching?
• The example that works in class. If an analogy or worked problem always lands, give it to Rubiic rather than letting it invent a new one.

How a build goes

Rubiic turns your notes into a script and, in Review mode — the default — waits for you to approve it before the narration is recorded. This is where the teaching happens, so it is worth reading aloud.

Each scene is written as code for the script, so a worked example can build up one step at a time and a diagram can be labelled with real text. Then you revise by talking to it: “slow down on the second step”, “use a real-world example here”, “make the final summary a list”. Every version is kept, and each revision can be compared with the one before it, so an edit that makes things worse is never a loss.

When it is done, you download the MP4 and, from the narration's own timing, SRT or VTT caption files — a free export, for accessibility and for any platform that asks for a caption file.

A course, not a one-off

Lesson six should look like lesson one. Save the style of a video you are happy with — its brand and visual direction — and apply it to the next project, so each new video starts from the same brand and direction without you describing them again. Then check it the way you would any draft.

Landscape suits a learning platform and vertical suits a phone-first recap; both come from the same conversation. Still frames export too, for slides and handouts.
