An hour in an editing timeline is an hour not billed
Attorneys are good at the hard part of video: explaining something complicated to a person hearing it for the first time. RealTake handles everything after the recording, waits for your review if you want it to, and posts the finished video where potential clients are already looking.
RealTake is the AI for short form video that attorneys and small firms use to publish finished, reviewed videos about how a matter works, without an editor, a timeline or a billable hour lost to it.
- Record it across the deskTwo minutes on your phone, the way you would explain it to a client. Smart cuts keep the best delivery and remove the retakes.
- Every term correct, every cut reversibleWord-level captions, every word editable before render. Every cut labeled with its reason and reversible in the Studio.
- Review, then postNothing posts until you say so. Then LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube from RealTake, now or scheduled.

The attorney who explains it perfectly in the room and never online
A solo practitioner or a partner at a small firm whose new matters come from referrals and from people who found three lawyers online and called the one who seemed to understand their situation.
Consultations, filings, court, client calls, and a firm that reviews every public word. You answer the same five questions every week across a desk. Online, there is a headshot and a practice-area list.
People hire the lawyer who already explained it to them. A short video on what to bring to a first consultation does more for intake than the next paid ad, and it works at 11pm when people actually search.
What has been stopping you
Four things attorneys tell us, in roughly this order.
“I will not post anything I have not reviewed word for word.”
A caption that gets a term wrong is not a typo in your profession. Any tool that posts on its own, or hides what it changed, is out.
“I am not spending a billable hour in CapCut.”
Trimming false starts, timing captions, finding footage. The math does not work, and the result still looks like you did it yourself.
“It has to look like a firm, not a creator.”
Considered, current, readable with the sound off. Most templates are either dated or too loud for a firm's name.
“My paralegal has better things to do.”
Video becomes nobody's job, and then it becomes your job at midnight.
Explain it once, across the desk. Everything after that is done, and nothing posts without you.
Nothing posts until you say so
Turn on review and every video waits in the Studio for your OK: one screen, every lane, every change visible. Captions are word by word and every word is editable, so a term is never wrong on screen. Changes before render cost nothing.
Every cut labeled, every cut reversible
Smart cuts remove retakes, filler and dead air and keep the best delivery of each line. Each cut carries the reason it was made and can be undone. You review before anything posts, and you can download the finished file for whatever review your firm requires.
Record it in the gap before the next consultation
Open RealTake in your phone's browser, record the explanation, upload. Nothing to install, no transfer, no timeline. Rendering runs in the cloud.
Finishes it while you are in court
A Director plans the edit, then builds it: cuts, captions, b-roll, motion graphics for the steps and figures you name, camera moves that always keep you in the frame, sound. Minutes, not an evening.
Considered and current at the same time
One style choice sets captions, titles, graphics, camera moves and sound for the whole video, built from the formats working on social right now and refreshed weekly. Brand kits keep the firm's look consistent across every attorney who records.
“Three questions to ask any lawyer” becomes three things on screen
Spoken lists become step trackers, figures become counters, 200+ motion graphics placed for you. A title written from what you said sits on screen in the first second, readable with the sound off.
Someone else can press the buttons
A paralegal or marketing assistant can upload videos and review edits using your account. Projects keep practice areas and attorneys separate.
Posted or scheduled, from one screen
LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube from RealTake, now or scheduled, or download the finished file for the firm's process. Then see how each video did.
See every cut, every caption, every graphic before anything renders
The Studio shows the whole edit on one timeline: captions, titles, graphics, b-roll, video, effects and sound, each in its own lane. Restore a cut, fix a word, swap a clip, move anything, then press Continue.
- Every cut labeled with its reason and reversible
- Per-word caption editing, so legal terms are exactly right
- Nothing renders until you press Continue; changes before render cost nothing
