Lesson editor
This is where you edit a lesson after slides exist. Open it from the Course builder.
Open a lesson
- Open Course builder.
- Select a lesson that already has slides.
- Click Open slides →
You land on that lesson. Slides scroll in one workspace. A left strip of thumbnails jumps you between slides.
Add a slide between slides
Hover the gap between two slides. A slim bar appears.
- Tooltip Add slide — inserts a new slide there
- Tooltip Add video clip — inserts a video clip as a slide (Premium)
Video clips
A video clip slide plays your own video — a HeyGen or Loom recording, a product demo, a screen recording — full screen in the lesson video, with its own sound. It plays in the editor and in the slide deck too.
- Format: MP4 or MOV only
- Length: up to 10 minutes per clip, and up to 30 minutes of clips per module
- Size: up to 200 MB per file
The bar shows these limits next to the button. A file that breaks one is refused before it uploads, with the reason. Render the module again after adding a clip — the clip is part of the video from then on.
You can also add blocks to the current slide with the ADD group. See Toolbar reference.
Edit headings and bullets
Click any text on the slide to edit it. Changes save automatically.
The line under the slide says: Click any text on the slide to edit it – changes save automatically.
Need another heading or list? Use the ADD group in the right toolbar. See Toolbar reference.
Swap a slide layout
The right toolbar has a Layout group. Click a layout icon to switch this slide. Tooltips name each one.
In toolbar order:
- Title card — opening slide for a lesson (title and a short hook)
- Section break — a divider slide between topics
- Objectives — what they will learn in this lesson
- Content — the main teaching slide (heading + bullets)
- Split · image right — text with a picture on the right
- Split · image left — text with a picture on the left
- Full-bleed image — a photo with text overlaid
- Quote — a pull quote or key line
- Stat row — big numbers side by side
- Recap — end-of-lesson summary
Style
The top bar has a Style door. That is where you pick the look for this project — not only a theme, but the image style and batch illustrate controls too.
The panel has two headings:
- Slide theme — the theme gallery with color swatches. Click a look and the slides reskin at once. The full gallery also lives under Themes.
- Slide images — Image style plus Illustrate slides.
You can open Style and change Slide theme any time while you edit. You do not have to pick the theme only while the course is writing. It reskins the project.
Tip: remember the theme name. That makes it easy to pick the same look again if you want it on another module or project.
The Style door itself stays here.
Premium and Business also get the custom theme builder. Open the theme picker, then Customize this style. Fields: Style name, Background, Surface, Text, Accent, Heading font, Body font, Bullet marker, and Corner radius. Save & apply to course applies that look to the whole project.
Illustrate every slide in one click
Premium and Business get the batch Illustrate slides button. Standard sees it with a lock and can still generate images one at a time on any slide, 2 credits each.
Next to the theme picker you will find an image style droplist and an Illustrate slides button.
Pick an image style — Photorealistic, Cinematic, Editorial illustration, Flat vector, Soft 3D render, or Minimal line art. One style applies to the whole project, so every image matches and your slides look designed, not assembled.
Click Illustrate slides. Loquy generates an image for every empty image slot in the module at once — no filling slides one by one. When it finishes, the button can read Illustrated 6 slides ✓ (the count is however many slots it filled).
This is the batch control. One click fills every empty slot in the module. To make one image on one slot, use Generate with AI instead. See AI images.
Each image costs 2 credits. The button's tooltip says how many empty slots it will fill before you click, so you know the total.
It follows your theme. Switch to a different image style (for example Cinematic) and the same control becomes an inline confirm: Re-illustrate as Cinematic? Pick a bold theme, pick Cinematic, one click — the whole module is art-directed. You can dismiss by switching the style back.
If credits run out partway it fills what it can and says so plainly (Illustrated 4 of 9 – ran out of credits). Nothing is lost — top up and run it again.
AI images
Hover an image slot. The sparkle control is Generate with AI.
The prompt label is Describe the image. Type what you want, then click Generate.
This is one image at a time, on every plan. Illustrate slides (under Style → Slide images) fills every empty slot in the module at once.
Each AI image costs 2 credits — the same price whether you click Generate on one slot or fill a slot with Illustrate slides.
You can also Upload image or Choose image from pictures already in the project.
A slide with no image
To keep a slide text only, hover its empty image slot and click No image on this slide – remove the image area (the crossed-out picture). If the slot already has a picture, hover it and click the bin at its top-right. Either way the slot goes too and the slide switches to the Content layout. A presenter on the slide stays where it is. Changed your mind? Undo (↶) brings back an empty slot. A picture you removed stays in the project: switch back to a split layout, hover the slot and use Choose image.
Narration (Speaker notes)
Under the slide, click Speaker notes ▾.
Edit the script, then click Save narration. Saving re-voices the slide with the lesson voice.
The tip under the box says: *Tip: start a sentence with [excited] [calm] [serious] for tone · markdown (#, *, -) is stripped before voicing, never read aloud. Headings and bold marks in the script are not spoken.
If the slide already has an on-screen presenter clip, the button says Save & regenerate clip (~12 cr/15s) instead. See Presenter.
A slide with no narration
Now and then the AI writes a slide but no narration for it. Loquy asks the AI again on its own while it makes the slides, so this is rare. If a slide still has no words, it would be silent in the video, and the page tells you:
- A yellow bar at the top says how many slides have no narration, so they would be silent in the video, with Write the missing narration (free).
- The slide itself shows No narration - silent in the video, with Write it for me (free), and its Speaker notes box opens so you can type straight in.
Writing missing narration is free - it is part of the slides you already paid for. You can press it up to 3 times a day per module. If it still cannot write a slide, type the narration yourself or record a voice-over.
A slide you added with Add slide or emptied yourself gets no yellow bar and no free button. It only shows a short grey note on the slide: it is silent in the video, so type some words in Speaker notes or record a voice-over if you want it to speak. Slides that use your exact wording are never flagged (with no intro text, the first slide after the title is silent on purpose, because the title slide already reads those words). A slide with a voice-over or a video clip is never flagged.
Change a sentence without losing your pictures
To change what a slide says, edit its Speaker notes. Each slide row shows the start of its narration next to Speaker notes ▾, so you can find the right slide.
You can also change the lesson's source. Open View / edit source, change the sentence and click Save source. If a slide speaks that sentence word for word, its narration is updated. The slide, its pictures and every other slide stay as they are. A note under the lesson title says which slides changed. It also lists any changed sentence it could not find, for example when the AI wrote that narration in its own words. Change those in Speaker notes.
Save source does not change slides that have a presenter clip or your own voice recording. The note tells you which ones, so you can update them yourself.
Render the video again to hear the new narration in it.
Fix narration split
In a course that uses Use my exact wording, each new topic (a heading in your document) starts a new slide. Courses made before 26 October 2026 could start a slide with the last sentences of the topic before it.
If a lesson has slides like that, a box under the lesson title names them and offers Fix narration split (free). It moves your words back to the slide of their own topic:
- Your words stay the same. Only the slide they are on changes.
- Only the slides that change are voiced again. Other slides, their pictures and their audio stay as they are.
- A short end of a topic goes back onto the slide before it. If that slide would get too long, the end gets a short slide of its own.
- Slides you edited yourself, slides with a presenter clip and slides with your own recording are never changed. The note after the fix names them, so you can change them in Speaker notes.
- It costs no credits. Nothing changes until you click it.
A blue bar then offers Undo narration change. Render the video again to hear the new narration in it.
Rewrite lesson
↻ Rewrite lesson · {n} cr builds new slides for this lesson only from the saved source. Other lessons are not touched. The price is this lesson's share of a module.
Before it runs, a box tells you what will be replaced, for example 2 pictures and 3 slides. Keep my slides is the default.
Restore previous slides
When a rewrite replaces slides, the old ones are saved. A blue bar at the top of the lesson page offers ↺ Restore previous slides for 14 days. Restoring is free, and you can undo it with Undo restore. The same bar appears after Save source changes narration, or after Fix narration split (Undo narration change). Dismiss closes the bar.
If a rewrite fails, your credits are refunded and the bar offers the old slides back.
Record or upload audio for one slide
Right under each slide, in the slide row (next to Slide N · layout, not inside Speaker notes). The line names the lesson voice, for example Sage — calm narrator reads this slide – or, followed by two buttons:
- Record voice-over — record this slide yourself, straight from your microphone
- Upload — use an audio file you already have
To change the lesson voice itself, use Use for this project on the Presenter card (hover the narrator's name for the reminder).
That replaces the AI voice for that slide only. Slides without custom audio use the lesson voice.
To record:
- Click Record voice-over
- Your browser may ask for microphone access first
- You will see Recording in 3… (countdown 3-2-1), with Cancel
- While recording: ● Ns and ◼ Stop
- After save: ✓ your voice-over, Re-record, Remove – use TTS
The take saves when you click ◼ Stop. You may see Saving your take… for a moment.
To go back to the AI voice, click Remove – use TTS.
Text size
The right toolbar has a Text size group: A− and A+.
They change the text size on the current slide. Autofit keeps the words inside the margins.
Presenter
Premium and Business can drop an on-screen presenter onto individual slides. Standard is voice only.
Who the presenter is comes from the Presenter door in the top bar (ready presenters, your clone). The panel title is Presenters. Line under it: Who narrates your videos – and optionally appears on screen. Set one up once, reuse it on any project.
Set that once, then choose which slides show the face. See Voices and presenters for clone setup, Use in this course, and the catalog. The per-slide mechanics stay on this page.
Add presenter on this slide
In the right toolbar, click the person-in-a-square icon. The tooltip reads Presenter on this slide. After the frame is on the slide it reads Presenter on this slide – click frame to position.
Clicking it drops the presenter frame onto the slide (bottom-right by default). Clicking again removes it. It is per-slide — you choose exactly which slides your presenter appears on. An empty frame shows Generate presenter.
Tip: presenter clips are the most credit-heavy part. Many authors put a presenter on slide 1 of a module and leave the rest as TTS. See Voices and presenters.
Position, size, and frame
Click the presenter frame on the slide to open its settings.
- Corner — four dots for top-left / top-right / bottom-left / bottom-right
- Size — SM / MD / LG
- Frame — square / vertical 9:16 / circle (vertical is the pick for Shorts-style clips)
Remove lives here too.
The preview clip
The first time, the PRESENTER CLIP row says Generate clip (the frame overlay says Generate presenter). Click once. While it runs you may see Generating presenter clip – in progress. When it is done, the row says Regenerate clip, a play button appears on the frame, and Speaker notes shows Save & regenerate clip (~12 cr/15s) (it stays disabled until you edit the script).
Business's 30-minute avatar bank is used before credits.
The clip always shows the presenter you picked, in that presenter's own voice. Loquy never swaps in someone else. (This applies to presenters picked from the October 2026 update on. A course set up before that keeps working exactly as it did.)
- If the course's presenter is voice only, there is no face to show. The row says {name} is voice-only - choose who appears on this slide. Pick a presenter from Choose who appears…, then click Generate clip.
- A clip speaks in the voice of the presenter on screen, not the course narrator's. (If you have not picked a presenter anywhere and your newest presenter has no voice of their own, the clip uses the course's narration voice instead.) On a voice-only course, the slides with a clip are heard in the chosen presenter's own voice, and the other slides in the course narrator's voice. To hear one voice throughout, give the on-screen presenter the same voice (Change voice → reuse one of your voices).
- If the presenter has no voice yet, the clip is refused and nothing is charged. You see {name} has no voice yet - add one in the lesson's Presenter panel. Add a voice on their card, then try again. A slide with your own recorded voice-over does not need one.
Toolbar reference
The right toolbar ADD group lets you drop in Kicker, Heading, Subheading, Paragraph, Bullets, and the rest (Numbered list, Quote, Stat, Image).
The same toolbar has Undo (⌘Z) and Delete slide.
Render and download
The Publish ▾ door has Render video → (or Re-render if a video already exists) and Downloads.
