Play Studio
Upload the video, write the lessons, invite the people taking them — and hand every one of them a classroom that remembers where they stopped.
Everything after it is the part a folder of files cannot do.
Upload it, and the transcript starts writing itself while you get on with the next thing. Edit a line, cut a subtitle, pick the frame that becomes the cover.
A course is sections and the lessons inside them, each with its own notes and files. Reorder by dragging; nothing is published until you say so.
Invite them by email, or put the course on the marketplace and let them register. Either way they get the classroom, and you get to watch them finish it.
The classroom
What people take is the classroom: video, transcript and notes in one window, in step with each other. You write the lessons; it does the remembering.
A transcript that keeps up
The words light as they are said. Somebody who reads faster than you talk can read ahead, and somebody in a quiet room can take the lesson in without sound.
Loops for the part that did not stick
Learners clip a few seconds and replay them until they have it, instead of hunting for the same spot a second time.
Notes filed under the second
What they type sits beside the video and comes back with it — so a week later the course opens where they stopped.
Where it goes
A course can be public in the marketplace, private to the people you invited, or both at once — the same lessons either way, with different doors.
Published to the marketplace
One switch puts the course in the catalog with its cover, its syllabus and its price of admission — which is nothing at all, unless you say otherwise.
Or handed out by invitation
Invite people by email to the course, or to a cohort inside it. A community can keep several on the go at once, each with its own people.
With something at the end of it
Attach a reward to finishing a course, or to a milestone along the way, and hand it over yourself when somebody earns it by hand.
Built on
Everything you publish is reachable over a public API — the catalog, the syllabus, and each lesson’s video, transcript and files. Make a key, send one header, and build the classroom you actually wanted.

Upload it, and the rest of the course is a matter of ordering what you already know.
