DESIGN
Before a script is written, the Preview holds the whole menu for the lecture type you picked: the looks it can wear (one pick, or Auto) and the scenes it can be sure to include (pick any). Every tile is a real frame of that style, not a name. The ones that fit this lesson’s own words are marked Recommended, and your picks are remembered for the next lesson of that type. Nothing picked means the planner chooses, exactly as before.
What it does
Grid Modern, Desk Notes, Control Room, Felt-tip Workshop, Misty Scroll, Highlighter, Night Arcade, Dither Mono, Cube Land, Isometric Diorama and the presentation decks — pick one and the whole video wears it. Auto leaves it to the planner.
Chart and comparison moves, Diagram moves, Info cards, Kinetic type, Spotlight, Exploded view, Isometric cutaway, Chain Reveal, Shape Shift, Photo collage, Bold transitions, Chapter card, storytelling devices — each appears at least once, where it suits the lesson best, and is drawn only from what the scene says.
The scenes that fit the lesson’s own words carry a badge and lead their section; “Use these” adds them in one click, and picking a look fills them in for you.
Search by name, description or tag; filter with Looks, Scenes to include and New; switch between a grid and a slides view with a thumbnail strip. One swipe row per section on a phone.
Add Scene and Replace Scene show the same styles for the type you pick — an animated move, a drawing style, a storytelling device — so a single scene can get exactly the treatment you have in mind.
