One idea per short, explained before the swipe
The problems, and what fixes them
Your lessons are 40 minutes and a short needs one idea.
The clip finder suggests self-contained moments from a section up to 15 (Creator) or 60 (Studio) minutes (Creator and Studio).
Explainers start with background, and the interesting part comes too late.
Each check scores the opening and suggests hooks that lead with the question or the surprise.
You are not sure what to film next.
Plan a video turns a topic into hooks and a filmable outline, with its own monthly allowance separate from checks.
Students watch with the sound off on the bus.
Word-by-word captions, and you can fix any technical term before you export.

What works for this kind of video
Open with the question, not the syllabus
'Why does ice float?' holds better than 'Today we are covering density'. Start with the thing the viewer wants to know, then explain.
One concept, one short
If the explanation needs a 'part two' to make sense, it is two shorts. Each one should leave the viewer with something they can repeat to a friend.
Show it, then say it
A diagram, a quick demo or a worked example on screen in the first seconds does more than a spoken introduction. Keep it in the middle of the frame, clear of each app's buttons.
Point to the full lesson at the end
Use the end card to send interested viewers to the full course or lesson, rather than stuffing a pitch into the short itself.
Step by step
- Plan a new explainer, or pick a section of a recorded lesson.
- Upload the draft (up to 2 minutes) or run the clip finder on the recording.
- Fix the opening, check terms in the captions, trim the build-up.
- Export with captions and a progress bar, and an end card pointing to the full lesson.
What ViralAri does not do
- ViralAri does not fact-check your content. Accuracy is on you.
- No course hosting, quizzes or student management.
- Speech models can mishear technical terms and formulas; read the captions before you export.
- The clip finder takes up to 15 (Creator) or 60 (Studio) minutes per run, on Creator and Studio.
Questions
Does Plan a video use my checks?
No. It has its own monthly allowance: 3 on Free, 30 on Starter, 100 on Creator and 300 on Studio.
Can I use it for screen-recorded lessons?
Yes, if there is narration. Small text on a horizontal screen recording can be hard to read once it is reframed to vertical, so zoom in on what matters while you record.
Are captions accurate enough for accessibility?
They are a strong start, but speech models do make mistakes. Review and fix the caption words before you export, especially names and terms.
