Questions
Is there a real hand in the video?
No. A drawn marker pen follows every stroke and every written word; its position is computed from the drawing itself, so it is always on the line being drawn. No hand footage or likeness is used.
How is the lesson structured?
Question, key idea, worked relationship, misconception, recap, a check question with thinking time, and a one-sentence takeaway. Each step gets a zone on one board, and the final pull-back shows them all.
Can I see the board style before paying for anything?
Yes. Three board styles (classic whiteboard, flipchart paper, dark glass) are shown as free HTML frames, then a storyboard sheet and a silent draft. Voice, music and drawings are quoted only after you approve.
What does a lesson cost in credits?
A 60-second lite lesson with a voice and timing is about 21 credits; an 80-second lesson with music is about 105. Rendering is local and free, and every paid step is quoted first.
