Golpo Feature Guide: From Script Control to Real Presenters
The most useful feature is the one that protects the element your project cannot afford to lose—approved words, a real voice, a branded visual language, literal evidence, or a recognizable person.
Golpo Sketch
Core visual engine; available styles vary by plan
Choose Sketch when the explanation benefits from drawn marks, whiteboard logic, approachable line art, or a visible sense that the idea is being built step by step. It is well suited to lessons, process training, sales explanations, onboarding, and concept videos. Current style options described across Golpo guides include Classic, Improved, Dry Erase, Professional Clean, Crayon, Formal, and related treatments. Preview availability in the creation screen because plan access changes the menu.
Feature guide or plan details →Golpo Canvas
Core visual engine; color and advanced styles depend on plan
Choose Canvas when the video needs composed illustrations, richer color, technical diagrams, editorial scenes, or a distinctive art direction. Current Golpo guides document Whiteboard, Modern Minimal, Playful, Technical, Editorial, Sharpie, and chalkboard options. Canvas can also support pen-in-hand treatments on eligible plans. It is often the stronger starting point for technical, research, finance, history, and polished product communication.
Feature guide or plan details →Script Mode
Use when exact wording matters
Script Mode turns approved narration into scenes. The creator first selects the duration, then supplies up to 1,050 characters for each chosen minute. This product rule matters: a two-minute video accepts up to 2,100 characters, not an unlimited script that will later be compressed. Script Mode is useful for compliance-reviewed language, executive messages, precise lessons, product claims, and narration developed by a writer or subject-matter expert.
Feature guide or plan details →Voice Instructions
Included on Creator and higher plans; check current pricing
Voice Instructions shape how an AI narrator delivers generated or scripted copy: tone, role, accent, energy, warmth, seriousness, or pacing. They should be short, practical, and compatible with the content. “Speak like a calm professor explaining a difficult idea to first-time learners” gives a usable performance goal. Voice Instructions do not apply to Own Narration because that workflow uses the supplied recording and its real delivery.
Feature guide or plan details →Video Instructions
Included on Business; available as a Growth add-on; also in Pay As You Go
Video Instructions direct the visual layer without rewriting the source narration. Specify palette, diagrams, density, on-screen labels, visual metaphors, scene transitions, typography, recurring composition, or elements to avoid. One published example uses the instruction: “Display the voice script above each scene in black text, highlighting key words in yellow.” Clear instructions describe repeatable rules, not a list of unrelated wishes.
Feature guide or plan details →Custom Style
Business and higher subscription tiers; check current pricing
Custom Style lets a Golpo Canvas creator build a reusable scene language from an image, a video, or a written description. Name the style, upload or describe the inspiration, save it, and select it again from My Styles. The library configuration screen preserves the source reference so teams can see what influenced the animation. Use source material you have the right to use, and describe transferable visual qualities instead of asking for a living artist’s exact signature.
Feature guide or plan details →Own Narration
Business, Scale, and Enterprise; also in current Pay As You Go
Own Narration uses an uploaded or recorded performance as the spoken layer. It is useful when identity, pronunciation, timing, emotion, or prior approval matters more than choosing an AI voice. Upload audio, upload video, record through the microphone, or record through the webcam. The recording determines duration. Clean and approve it before generation, then use visual controls to tell Golpo what should appear around the words.
Feature guide or plan details →Picture in Picture
Used through Own Narration; verify plan access
Picture in Picture keeps a real presenter visible while generated scenes explain the topic. A round overlay can occupy a corner; split-screen layouts can place the speaker and content in separate regions. It is valuable for authority, trust, personal communication, teaching, and executive delivery. If Audio in Video is selected instead, Golpo uses only the uploaded video’s audio and discards its visual track. The choice is explicit.
Feature guide or plan details →Inserted images, videos, and screen recordings
Business and current Pay As You Go feature sets
Inserted media is for evidence the system should show literally: a product screen, approved chart, customer clip, historical photograph, branded diagram, or recorded walkthrough. State where the asset belongs and why it matters. Real media is most effective when it occupies a clear explanatory role. Decorative uploads can make the sequence less coherent, while well-chosen evidence increases accuracy and viewer confidence.
Feature guide or plan details →Frame-by-frame prompt editing
Business and higher; also listed for Pay As You Go
Frame editing lets a reviewer request a focused change after generation rather than rebuilding the entire brief. Write the edit as a concrete visual correction: replace an inaccurate symbol, simplify a crowded diagram, change the setting, fix the emphasis, or show the approved interface. Protect everything that already works by naming the intended change narrowly. Always replay the surrounding sequence because one corrected frame still has to connect with the narration before and after it.
Feature guide or plan details →Voice cloning
Business and higher; also in current Pay As You Go
Voice cloning creates an AI voice from authorized audio so future scripts can be narrated in that voice without recording every line manually. It differs from Own Narration: cloning synthesizes a new performance from text, while Own Narration preserves a specific recording. Use only voices you own or are explicitly permitted to clone, define who may use the clone, and review pronunciations and sensitive communication before release.
Feature guide or plan details →Character consistency
Scale and higher; currently beta
Character consistency helps recurring people or mascots remain recognizable across scenes and episodes. Give each character a clear identity, role, appearance, and relationship to the story. Avoid introducing several nearly identical characters in a short explainer. Because the feature is beta, review clothing, age, distinguishing features, relative scale, and continuity in every scene before publication.
