    30-second vertical videos: Claude writes the narration and picks photos and clips, the studio voices and assembles it, then it's posted through Metricool to YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels and TikTok, labelled as AI-generated.

    Add stories

    One story per line. Optionally add notes after a | to steer the script (details, sources, the angle you want).
    e.g. Marshall's "gold coins" move | Breslau 1912 vs Levitsky; is the coins part true?

    Scripts are 45–60 seconds. Claude frames legends and disputed anecdotes as such. Each script appears under Videos → In progress, where you edit, build and post it like any other video.

    Reusable 5-second AI clips, one library per style. Illustrative only. Hover a clip to play it.

    Pronunciation

    How the narrator says tricky terms: one per line, TERM = how to say it. Whole words, case-sensitive; captions keep the normal spelling. Applies to the next build.

    Each new article gets its own post on X, Bluesky, Facebook, Threads and Instagram (photo, link in bio), written by Claude and scheduled through Metricool about an hour apart.
