    Questions people ask

    What does the Tella connector do in Claude?

    Tella is the easiest way to record and share great-looking videos - screen recordings, demos, tutorials, and talking-head videos. This connector brings your entire Tella library into Claude, so you can edit and manage videos in plain language. Ask Claude to trim a clip, cut a section by quoting the transcript, remove silences and filler words, or tighten a 10-minute recording into a 2-minute cut. Claude can apply Tella's signature polish for you: automatic zooms, camera and screen layouts, backgrounds, blurs, highlights, overlays, and background music. Key features: - Edit by transcript: say "cut the part where I talk about pricing" and Claude finds and removes it - Clean up recordings: remove silences, filler words, and mistakes in one request - Auto-polish: generate zooms and layouts, add music, sound effects, and overlays - Organize your library: search videos, manage playlists, tags, chapters, and thumbnails - Share and ship: set thumbnails, add collaborators, and export finished videos without leaving Claude Perfect for founders, educators, and teams who record often and want editing to take minutes, not hours.
