About

Yarn Studio

Features
Read full description

Yarn is for the small business owner who knows they should be posting videos and hates being on camera. You talk to it about an idea for thirty seconds. It asks one or two questions if it needs to, then writes five ways to open and a full script in your voice, timed to be read aloud. You read the script off a teleprompter that sits over the camera, so your eyes stay near the lens. When you are done, the words you said become captions, a title goes on the opening, you pick a look, and a clean vertical video is saved to your Photos, ready for Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, LinkedIn or YouTube. There is no timeline to learn and no blank page. Every step works with nothing set up. Every control is an override, not a requirement. What Yarn does - Writes the script from your spoken idea, with five hooks to choose from. - Puts the script on a teleprompter over your camera, in sections or one take. - Turns what you said into captions, with the word being said picked out if you like. - Suggests a title from what you said, which you can edit or turn off. - Five caption looks that hold up over any background, including a typewriter that types as you talk. - Cutaways: Yarn reads your video, says where a bit of footage would help, and you film it, pick it from your library, or have it made. - Intros and outros from your own library, on any video. - Posting and scheduling through your Zernio account, with comment replies drafted for you and a comment-to-DM funnel. - Have a HeyGen twin read the script for you when you would rather not be on camera at all. What stays on your phone Your recordings, your finished videos and the transcription of your voice never leave your iPhone. Speech recognition runs on the device. Only the text of your idea and your business profile are sent to write the script. Yarn has no accounts, no sign-up and no trackers. Posting, the twin and made footage use your own Zernio, HeyGen and Kie accounts, straight from your phone. Made in Australia by Awesomate.
