Recording · Answer a Question

Get asked a good question, answer it, post it

Sam prompts you with a question about your topic and you answer in your own words. The most natural of the four recording tools — best for tips and topical videos that need to sound off the cuff.

Get prompted, answer in your own words

  1. A question card arrives over the camera, large enough that it is the only thing on screen.
  2. Question 1 of 3: What do people always get wrong about what you do?
  3. A three, two, one count runs, then the card shrinks into the corner of the frame and the answer starts.
  4. Question 2 of 3: Walk me through the last time you changed your mind about it.
  5. Question 3 of 3: If someone had ten minutes today, what should they do first?
  6. The prompt stays available in the corner the whole time, but nothing on screen is a script to read.

Sam Asks, You Answer

Instead of a blank page you get a real question about your topic — the kind a good interviewer would ask. You answer it the way you would answer a client.

Questions That Fit the Idea

The prompts come from the idea you committed to, not a generic list, so the answer you give is already the video you meant to make.

Not That One? Ask for Another

Swap a question you do not like, or ask for a sharper angle. The prompt is a conversation, so nothing is stuck.

Unscripted, but Not Unstructured

You speak off the cuff and Storytime handles the shape — trimming the false starts and building the cut around the answer you actually gave.

The Fastest Way to a Topical Video

Best for tips, hot takes, and questions your audience keeps asking. Read the prompt, answer it, done — usually in one take.

Portrait or Landscape

Record the frame the platform wants — 9:16 for Reels, TikTok, and Shorts, or 16:9 for YouTube and your site.
