Skills
A skill for every kind of video you make.
A skill is a video maker built for one job. Pick one, give it a topic or your own material, and it writes, draws and narrates the video the way that kind of video should look: maths solved step by step on a teacher’s board, a toolbox talk with the wrong way and the right way, a painted story reel, your slides narrated from your notes. Thirteen skills, every language, on every plan.

Skills
What is a skill?
A skill is a fixed recipe for one kind of video. It decides how the script is written, what the screen looks like and the format, so you only bring the topic or the material: a question sheet, a deck, the pages of your book.
A regular Chasca video is a narrated whiteboard explainer that adapts to anything you ask. A skill goes further for one job. The maths skill keeps the question on the board while every line of working is written as it is said, and checks each answer before it draws it. The safety skill always shows the wrong way, then the right way, then a quiz. Nothing about a skill is a template you fill in by hand: you type a sentence or drop a file, and the video comes back finished.
Every skill at a glance.

A video maker built for one kind of video. Each skill fixes how its script is written, how the screen looks and its format, so you only give it a topic or your own material. There are thirteen: maths, verbal reasoning, science, code, accounting and economics problems, grammar lessons, money cartoons, safety cartoons, history story series, illustrated story reels, book trailers and narrated slides.
A regular video is a narrated whiteboard explainer that adapts to whatever you ask. A skill makes one kind of video and makes it the way that kind should look, every time. The maths skill solves each problem on a teacher’s board and checks the answer; the safety skill shows the wrong way, the right way and a quiz; the story skills paint a picture for each beat with the same characters throughout.
