Turn an objective, your plan or a script into a video lesson

A lesson objective in a line

One unit, one familiar look
Keep the same guide, classroom and props in every lesson video across the whole unit
A unit of work is a story told over weeks. Atlabs locks your guide character, your classroom and the props you use, so lesson one and lesson eight look like chapters of the same unit, and students can find their place at a glance.
Character consistency
Create a character once and Atlabs keeps the same face, outfit, colours and style in every scene and every video after it. Your guide leads every single lesson of the unit, start to finish.

Scene consistency
Lock a setting and it keeps the same layout, lighting and mood each time it returns, so your classroom, lab or field trip spot looks the same in every lesson.
Object and prop consistency
Diagrams, lab kit, worksheets and models look the same in every scene, so the props students learn with in lesson one still match in the last.
