Tella records in clips, so you can redo a single section of a walkthrough instead of the whole take. Each clip can run up to 6 hours, and recordings capture screen, webcam, microphone and system audio in up to 4K. Editing happens mostly through the transcript: Tella can remove silences, filler words and buffering, find likely mistakes and apply auto layouts and auto zoom, then style subtitles and add backgrounds and borders. Videos live on hosted pages with AI generated titles and chapters, comments, reactions and call-to-action buttons, and Tella can generate documents from a video. Pro costs $13 per user per month billed annually and includes 4,500 credits a month for the Tella Agent, an AI editor that takes instructions in chat. Premium at $19 adds a custom domain, branding removal, domain restriction and 60 fps export. There is a 7-day free trial but no free plan, which makes Tella harder to roll out to a whole school or company than Loom or ScreenPal.
