Velo vs Tella
Both record and edit. But Tella builds videos clip by clip. Velo takes what you recorded and does the editing work for you.
Same category, different philosophy
Tella and Velo both record your screen and use AI to clean up the result. Where they differ is in how you approach the recording itself.
Record in clips, edit like a document
Tella is built around the idea that one long take is the wrong way to record. Instead, you record in short clips, one section at a time - then arrange and edit them into a finished video. AI removes silences and filler words, transcript-based editing lets you cut by deleting text.
✅ Clips model - record short takes, stitch together
✅ Speaker notes while recording
✅ AI: delete silences, remove filler words, edit by transcript
✅ Transitions, zoom effects, custom backgrounds
✅ Multiple layouts (screen + camera, camera only, etc.)
✅ Host on Tella, export 4K, embed on web
✅ Mac, Windows, and browser-based
Record once. Or don't. Velo handles the rest.
Velo doesn't ask you to plan your video into clips before you start. You record your screen normally, or let the AI agent do it. And Velo does the post-production: removes mistakes, adds your cloned voice and face, focuses on the right parts of the UI.
✅ AI browser agent records the product walkthrough for you
✅ Upload any existing video - Velo enhances it
✅ Filler words and silences removed automatically
✅ Clone your own voice and face
✅ Auto zoom and spotlight on real UI elements
✅ Repurpose long recordings into short clips
✅ Web-based - works on any OS
4 ways to make a Velo
Tella starts from a planned clip recording. Velo starts from whatever you have, and if you don't have anything yet, it records it for you.
01 Record your screen
Use the Chrome extension to capture your full desktop, a specific app, or any tab. One click to start - Velo handles the rest and enhances it automatically.
02 Upload any MP4
Drop in a raw Loom recording, a Zoom call, or any existing video. Velo rewrites a new script from scratch, generates a polished voiceover, and delivers a video people will actually watch.
03 Upload a PowerPoint or Slides
Give Velo your PPT and describe what to say. Velo's browser agent opens the deck, follows your instructions, records slide by slide with cursor movements and automated zooms, and builds the final video.
04 Paste a URL
Give Velo a link and tell it what workflow to record. The browser agent requests access, navigates the page, records the full walkthrough, and hands you a finished video - no screen time required.

Velo vs Tella - which one is right for you?
Both are good tools. The right one depends on how you like to work.
Good for you if
- You create structured content - courses, tutorials, YouTube videos
- You prefer recording in short clips rather than one long take
- Speaker notes while recording help you stay on track
- You want custom branding and domain on your video hosting page
- A "book a call" button directly on your shared video matters to you
- Creative control over layout, transitions, and background is important
Velo is a better fit if you...
- You want the AI agent to record the product demo without you
- You have existing recordings that need polish - not a new video to build
- Your own voice and face clone matter more than a live webcam
- You need product walkthroughs with real UI on screen, not staged clips
- Speed matters more than creative control - record, clean, share
- You're a small team paying per account, not per person
Less planning. More done.
Record your product, upload what you have, or let Velo's agent do it. Either way, you have a finished video.
