FORMATS

Two to six visual lanes blended in one lecture.

Mixed media lets a lecture change register as the material does: sketch the intuition, cut to paper cutouts for the story, land the proof in animated math. Choose two to six lanes and the planner splits the scenes evenly between them.

What it does

The detail that makes it work.

Pick the blend

Any two to six lanes — sketch, paper cutout, stickman, slides, MotionCraft or MathMotion — or keep the default mix.

Even split

Scenes are distributed equally across lanes, so no single style takes over.

One narration

Voice, captions and music stay continuous across lane changes.
