Using a Pre-Written Script

You can choose the script you would like to record by starting in your Desktop KCM Member Area.  You'll have easy access at the top of the page to record the latest scripts or browse current scripts.  Click "See All" in the "Scripts" box to view all available scripts.

Creating a Script from Scratch

Generate a Local Market Script

  • From your RealTalk dashboard, the Generate Local Script block is the primary action at the top of the page.

  • 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.

Note: Scripts created this way are saved as "Market Name + Metric" (for example, "Dallas TX: Active Listings"), making them easy to tell apart in My Scripts if you work multiple markets.

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.

  • 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. 

Note: Scripts you create or edit will be found under "My Scripts" on the Scripts page. 

Always review AI-generated copy for accuracy and bias before recording.

Recording Your Video

Pro Tip: Record a few videos at a time, then access your recordings when you’re ready to share!

  • To start recording your video, select the red "Record" button on the right-hand side of the script.

  • Once your script is ready to record, select the "Record" button or press the spacebar on your computer. This page will have a few options for you to customize your recording and video set-up.

  • 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!

  • The "Format" button below your preview will allow you to select how you would like to record your video: 9:16 for Portrait and 16:9 for Landscape.

  • The "Background" option allows you to choose no background, a Blur background, or "More Options" which will open RealTalk Settings.

Pro Tip:  Reduce backlighting and minimize movement when using the blur or background options for best results. Using a background image with different colors than your clothes when recording will help you stand out more in your video. 

The "Settings" button will allow you to choose a few additional options:

Teleprompter

  • Font Size: Use 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 Text: 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

  • Mirror: This flips your video horizontally, making text and movements look reversed, like a reflection in a mirror

Backgrounds

  • 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 Background: 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 "Stop" button to the right or tap the spacebar on your computer. If you need to record again, you can select "Start Over" and start another take.

Any Scripts that have recordings will have a film strip icon Film strip icon-1 on the bottom right corner of the script tile in your library.

Reviewing Your Video

Once your video is recorded, you can select "Review" to watch your recording and add Dynamic Captions, Thumbnail, or Caption for your video.


Add Dynamic Captions

  • Customize your captions by adjusting the font, color, size, and placement to ensure readability and match your video's style. You can also move the captions wherever you'd like on your video, just drag to reposition and tweak for the perfect look. 

Add Thumbnail Image

  • Select a specific moment in your video to set as your thumbnail, and then add your desired text. You can easily click and drag the text box to position it anywhere on your thumbnail. 

Videos with Thumbnails shared to Instagram will not appear with text on the image. 

Pre-Written Captions and Hashtags

  • Review the automatically generated caption and hashtags for your video, which you can easily incorporate into your social media posts. 

Always review AI-generated copy for accuracy and bias before sharing.

  • You can share your videos immediately after recording by using the "Share" button.
  • You can use the social media buttons to share your video to your social platforms.
  • You can also select the "Email" button to easily copy and paste your video into an email.
