Do I need to write a script?

What happens to my recording?

It stays as source reference for your transcript and delivery. Every finished video uses the ElevenLabs narrator you choose from the approved script.

What can I change?

The transcript, hook, captions, cast, settings, and scenes all stay visible and editable. You get the final call.
