Using a Pre-Written Script

You can choose the script you would like to record by starting in your Desktop KCM Member Area, with easy access to record the latest scripts or browse current scripts. Unrecorded drafts appear at the top with a red "Record" button that skips ScriptBuilder. Click "View More Scripts" to view all available scripts.

Creating a Script from Scratch

Generate a Local Market Script

• From your RealTalk dashboard, you can easily record a Local Market Script!
  
  
  

• Choose your market and the metric you'd like to talk about, then pick whether the script should speak to buyers or sellers. The same data point often means something different depending on the audience, so this ensures your script hits the right note.

• If the market you want isn't set up yet, you can add it on the spot by entering its zip code, no detour to KCM Local required.

• After you generate a script, look for a brief toast notification pointing you to KCM Local so you can review and fine-tune your new market's settings.

• Saved local scripts also show a Buyer or Seller chip so you can tell at a glance who each one is for.

Create Your Own Script

• From the RealTalk page, select "Create Now" under "Create Your Own Script."
  
  
  

• You'll start from a pre-filled template with a hook prompt already in place, so you're not staring at a blank page. Want to start from scratch? No problem. Click "Start fresh instead" to clear all generic text.
  
  
  
  

• Edit the text within the text block to make it your own, then use the Plus icon to add additional elements to your script. 

• Choose from Image, Text, or AI to continue creating your script, and save when it is complete. 

• Scripts you create or edit will be found on the Scripts page. 

Recording Your Video

• Before you get started, you'll see your teleprompter over your video preview. You can move this anywhere you'd like, and you'll also be able to adjust the speed and size of your text. You'll then be able to click "Preview" to practice your script before recording.
  
  
  
  

• To start recording your video, click the "Start Recording" button or press the spacebar on your computer to Start/Stop. You can also see the Estimated Time to record based on your current settings.
  
  

• The Script Structure is  broken down by when "You speak on camera" and when "Graphic covers the video" (keep talking here).
  
  

• The "Cam On" and "Mic On" dropdowns allow you to select your desired device, and the "More Settings" button gives you access to the settings for your formatting and background.
  
  

Teleprompter

• Font Size: Use the slider to change the size of your font
• Scroll Speed: Adjusts the speed of your Teleprompter
• Teleprompter Transparency: Changes how dark or transparent the Teleprompter appears
• Bold Font: Toggle on or off for bolded text on the Teleprompter
  
  

Recording

• Auto Stop: Stops recording automatically at the end of your script
• Countdown Timer: Adjust the timer before your video starts recording
  
  

Video

• Format: Allows you to select the orientation for your video — 9:16 for Portrait and 16:9 for Landscape
• Mirror Camera: This flips your video horizontally, making text and movements look reversed, like a reflection in a mirror
• Performance:
  • High Quality: Allows your videos to look better
  • Fast Performance: Allows your videos to run smoother on some devices
• Background Type:
  • None: no virtual background at all
  • Blurred: blurs your background
  • Saved Image: You can choose a virtual background for all your RealTalk videos by selecting this option or by clicking the "Upload Background" button to add your own image
• Script Image Backdrop: If any of your uploaded images are smaller than the screen, a background color selected here will automatically be displayed behind the image
  
  

When you're done recording, you can click the red button to the right or tap the spacebar on your computer. If you're satisfied, click "Use This Take." If you'd like to record again, simply select "Retake" to start over.

Reviewing Your Video

Once your video is recorded and saved, you can find it under Recent Recordings at the bottom of the RealTalk homepage. Here you can click on "Edit" to watch your recording, make edits, share, and MORE!
