📅 DAY 3: Customization Options

Today was all about another key aspect: allowing users to customize the look and sound without needing any editing software.

I started by letting users add their name androle or email to a video overlay template that sits on top of the video and instantly make it feel more polished.

You can preview exactly how it will look before you hit record:

I’m planning to design at least 10 of them, each with a different vibe (from clean and minimal to bold and colorful).

Some of these templates will be locked unless you upload a resume made with ResumeMaker.Online.

That’s intentional to keep everything connected and bring more users to the main paid product. It’s still extremely generous considering how much you get for free.

I also added background music options. Nothing over the top, just simple tracks to make your video feel more polished.

You can preview them, pick one, and it gets embedded directly into your final recording. I’ll probably add at least 10 tracks here as well.

Yeah, I know it still looks like crap, but this was the point where I actually start to see the potential.

Day 3, done ✅
