What is Velo?

Velo is an AI-powered video messaging tool. You record a guided narration of your product, workflow, or idea once, and Velo transforms it into a polished, share-ready video message featuring your AI avatar - without you needing to turn on a camera or nail a perfect take.If you’ve got something to show, just Velo it.
Traditional screen recorders require you to appear on camera and deliver a flawless take every time. Velo is different - you narrate a quick walkthrough, and Velo’s browser agent re-records it cleanly using your AI avatar and voice clone, producing an awesome video every time with no camera anxiety or retakes.
Velo works for anyone who needs to communicate visually. Common use cases include:
  • Sales - polished video pitches to prospects
  • Product - feature walkthroughs and team updates
  • Support & CS - onboarding guides and training videos
  • Marketing - launch videos and product content
  • Founders - investor updates and product demos
  • Educators - courses, lectures, and walkthroughs
  • Remote teams - async work updates that replace follow-up meetings
  • Creators - tutorials, reviews, and content for YouTube and social media
You can build videos from a live website, an existing screen recording, or static files like PDFs and slide decks.
Yes. Velo builds a hyper-realistic AI avatar from a single photo and a short voice recording. Once your VeloTwin is set up, you never need to appear on camera again for any future video.
Velo generates realistic AI avatars, so it is generally not obvious to viewers that an AI was used. That said, you are always free to disclose this to your audience as you see fit.
Yes. Velo runs in the browser and works on any operating system. You just need Google Chrome and the Velo Chrome extension installed.
Not yet. Velo currently supports English only.

​
Getting Started

You need:
  • A desktop computer
  • Google Chrome
  • The Velo Chrome extension installed
  • A working microphone (for VeloTwin setup and narrating recordings)
You need a desktop to record and create videos. Once a video is published, your Velo link is fully responsive and looks great on any phone or tablet.
Go to the Chrome Web Store, search for Velo Companion, and click Add to Chrome. Pin it to your browser bar for quick access. You only need to do this once.
The Velo extension requires microphone and screen recording permissions. If it is not working, go to chrome://extensions, find Velo Companion, and make sure the correct permissions are enabled. These are required before you can begin recording.
A VeloTwin is your personal AI avatar - it looks like you and sounds like you. It is built from a single photo and a short voice recording. Once created, your VeloTwin is saved to your account and can present any future Velo video instantly without you ever re-recording yourself.
Creating a VeloTwin is a one-time two-step process. First, you take a photo using your camera following a 3-second countdown. Then you read a short training script naturally so Velo can clone your voice. Once submitted, your VeloTwin is ready to use on any project immediately.
Yes. You set it up once and it is instantly available for every future Velo video you create.
Yes. Velo clones your actual voice rather than using a generic synthesised voice. It captures your specific tonality, cadence, and accent so your VeloTwin sounds like the real you.
Yes. Velo provides a library of public avatars you can select immediately - while your VeloTwin is being set up, or if you prefer not to create a personal one. Access to all public avatars is included on the Pro plan and above.
After recording, Velo automatically assesses the audio quality. If it is not usable, you will be prompted to retake it with specific feedback on how to improve. Recording in a quiet space with your best available microphone gives the best results.

​
Recording & Script

There are four creation methods:
  • Capture screen recording - Record your screen live using the Chrome extension as you walk through your product.
  • Upload a recording - Upload an existing raw video file (MP4 and other formats). Velo writes a new script from scratch and syncs everything into a polished video.
  • Upload PDFs and PNGs - Import a static slide deck or images as the visual base for your video.
  • Paste a link - Provide a URL and Velo’s browser agent visits the live page directly.
Yes. You can upload an existing raw screen recording to Velo. Velo will write a new script from scratch, sync your AI avatar to it, and deliver a polished, share-ready video - without you needing to re-record anything.
Yes. Velo supports PDFs and image-based slide decks as the visual foundation for your video. This is ideal for quarterly business reviews, pitch decks, and internal training guides.
You click through your product or file and narrate what is happening in your own words, as if explaining it to a colleague. Velo captures your voice and mouse movements to understand your product flow, then generates a script and a clean re-recorded video using your AI avatar.
The Restart button clears your current audio and lets you redo the entire assisted recording from the beginning. Note that Restart resets the full take - it cannot re-record a single section. If you stumble on one phrase, use Restart to redo the whole walkthrough cleanly.
Velo has auto-save features that protect your session during recording. However, a significant connection drop at the moment you click Finish Session can prevent data from reaching Velo’s servers. It is best to confirm a stable connection before finalising your walkthrough.
Yes. After recording, Velo generates a script broken into Scene Cards. You can edit the narration in any Scene Card directly. If you want to discard your changes, click Reset to return to the original AI-generated version.
You can remove as much text as you like. However, you can only add up to 20% more words than the original script. Adding significantly more words affects the browser agent’s timing and video quality. If you need to add substantially more content, it is best to redo the assisted recording.
A Scene Card is one segment of your Velo script. Each card shows the scene number, timestamp, the visual action the browser agent will perform, and the narration your AI avatar will deliver. Scene Cards are the building blocks of every Velo video.
If Velo did not have microphone access, or if your hardware was muted, it will not have the audio data needed to generate a script. Always check your microphone settings before starting, and ensure the Chrome extension has the correct permissions granted.
This typically happens when technical jargon is mumbled or mispronounced during recording, causing the AI to substitute similar-sounding words. Use the Restart button to redo the walkthrough, speak clearly at a natural pace, and add context in the Additional Instructions field before generating.

​
Editing & Customisation

Yes. Click Edit Video to open the Velo editor, where you can customise your video extensively. All changes are saved automatically as you work.
The editor includes controls for:
  • Background - wallpaper, gradient, solid colour, or custom image; plus blur, padding, rounded corners, border/inset, and shadow
  • Avatar - position, size, shape, and zoom behaviour
  • Cursor - style, size, click effects, and sounds
  • Audio - background music, narration volume, and master volume
  • Zoom - auto zoom (follows cursor) or manual zoom (locked to a region)
  • Effects - Callout, Spotlight, and Mask overlays
  • Cards - intro card with your name, role, and video description
  • Logo - placement, size, and positioning
  • Scripts - view and edit your narration transcript
Yes. Toggle the Logo switch in the editor to overlay your logo on the video. Use the positioning grid to snap it to any corner, and the Logo Size slider to scale it up or down.
Yes. The Masks feature lets you cover specific areas of your screen recording - such as passwords, private emails, or confidential data - so viewers only see what you intend to share. You can apply multiple masks at different points throughout the timeline.
Yes. Enable the Background Music toggle in the Audio panel to choose from Velo’s built-in music library. You can adjust music volume independently from your narration. Uploading custom music files is not yet supported.
Yes. Velo supports Auto zoom, where the camera follows your cursor automatically, and Manual zoom, where you lock the camera onto a specific area. You can also enable Make Smaller during zoom so your avatar automatically shrinks during a zoom and never blocks the highlighted content.

​
Sharing & Privacy

Click Publish in the editor or on the preview page. Once rendering completes, a shareable link is generated. Copy and send it directly to your audience - viewers can watch in their browser with no install required.
Yes. After publishing, a Download option is available alongside your shareable link.
Yes. Your VeloTwin and voice clone are stored securely on Velo’s servers so you can reuse them across all future projects. If you delete your account, your VeloTwin and all associated training data are permanently erased.
Your VeloTwin, voice clone, and all training data are permanently deleted from Velo’s systems when you delete your account.
