What coaches and consultants actually need from a video tool
A coach or consultant sells judgement, and the fastest way to show judgement is to answer a real client question on camera. The tool has to make that answer look considered: captions that keep the point readable with the sound off, a number or a framework turned into a graphic, pacing that holds attention. It has to do that for twenty videos a month, not two, and it has to let you check the edit without learning an editor.
Why the usual tools fall short for coaches and consultants
Three tools coaches and consultants usually try first, and what their users say about them:
- Submagic. "they charged me for a full year of service—no reminder, no heads-up" (source). A caption layer on your clip, the same three templates everyone uses, and a renewal you find out about on your statement.
- Captions. "even with the paid plan I went thru my credits in 2 short video's" (source). B-roll, music and images are credits; two videos can empty a month.
- A freelance editor. "$50 to $150 a video is a typical market range" (our comparison). Then a Slack thread, a revision round, and a day or more per video.
How RealTake fits coaches and consultants
Upload the answer you just recorded. RealTake cuts the retakes and dead air and keeps the best delivery of each line, writes the title from what you said, captions every word with the key phrases emphasised, turns the three-step framework into a motion graphic, and places b-roll from stock, generation or your own uploaded footage. Review the whole edit on one screen if you want to, change anything at no cost, press Continue. Then schedule it. Brand kits keep every video in your colours and fonts. Every feature is on every plan, the cost is shown before render, and a failed render is never charged.
Upload one raw video and see the difference on your own footage.
Free plan: 5 watermarked videos a month. No credit card.
