Tik Tok Problem Solved!
(Long post-bear with me) I'd been getting ZERO views on my TikTok videos since September and nothing seemed to help. I paused, warmed-up the account again and started liking and posting, still nothing. **It turns out I had a duplicate account that I had created a couple of years ago that TikTok had logged me into on my laptop.** The account name was almost the same as my new one, so I hadn't noticed. Since the account was made before Sonder, I didn't know about "warming up", so that's why I never got views. I deleted the old account and now I'm warming up the account I made recently and will start posting again soon.

Video title obscures book!
The video title in the beginning obscures the face of the book! It would be nice to have the option of the videos not have the video title on the video. It really serves no purpose and is really annoying. The subtitles are fine. It's the additional title that comes up with the subtitles in the beginning that is annoying. @Michael Langdon

HI, @Michael Langdon . I want the captions. I just do not want the main title that comes up in the beginning over the book cover. If I download it without captions, I don't get any titles whatsoever. I just want to get rid of the main title without having to re-edit the video myself.
Figure has four arms and hands
I just generated another video, and one of the figures has four arms and four hands at one point. Plus, the drone controllers are not consistent between scenes. Sometimes they look like controllers; other times they look like an iPad or an oversized phone. I can't post this; I'll be laughed at. Can I get credits refunded for the goofed-up video? @Michael Langdon

Thanks, Michael.
🎁 5 beta spots: holiday gift videos for your book (live for everyone next week)
From now until Christmas, a lot of the people who find your book won't be buying it for themselves. They'll be buying it for their dad, their mum, their partner, their best friend, their Secret Santa. And most book videos don't speak to them. A normal hook is written for a reader. A gift buyer is asking a different question: "Who would love this?" So we built gift videos. 🎁 HOW IT WORKS When you make a video, Sonder asks one extra question: "Is this a gift video?" Say yes, then pick: 👤 Who it's for: Dad, Mum, Partner, Friend, Teen, Kid, Colleague / Secret Santa, Themselves, or let Sonder pick 📅 The occasion: Any gift, Black Friday, The holidays, or Christmas Sonder rewrites your opening hook and your call to action for someone buying your book as a present. The story in the middle stays exactly the same. Here's a real one from Last Man Out (for Dad, Christmas): 🎄 Hook: "Stuck on something small but real for your dad this Christmas? Ron Wade sat in front of three former Royal Flying Corps pilots and nearly talked his way out of the war before it started." 🎁 Call to action: "Ronald M Wade's full story is in Last Man Out, and your dad's going to want every page of it under the tree this year. The link's in the bio. Go get it for him." Same book, same story, but now it's selling a present. (Screenshots below.) THE DETAILS ✅ Works on Viral Script, Slideshow, POV, Quick Reaction Hook and Person on camera ✅ Pick Christmas and it uses Christmas words. Black Friday, The holidays and Any gift stay neutral, so they work for Hanukkah, New Year and everyone else on your readers' lists ✅ The ending you approve is the ending you get ✅ On every plan, October to December only. Not for you? Tick "Never ask me again" and it's gone WHY BE A BETA TESTER It goes live for everyone next week. Beta testers get it now, which means: 1️⃣ Your gift videos are posted and building views before the Black Friday rush, not during it 2️⃣ You shape the final version every customer gets. If a hook feels off for your genre, you tell me and we fix it

Mixed English/Spanish scripts in Sonder?
Hey everyone, this might be asking a lot, but I'm hoping someone has run into this. I have a brand with 2 books where I teach Spanish. I was making the videos myself (I'm a fluent Spanish speaker), but it was taking up too much time, so I decided to give Sonder a try. The first video came out great. The only problem is that my scripts mix English and Spanish, and the voiceover reads everything in English, including the Spanish words, so the pronunciation is off. Is there a way around this? Maybe adding some kind of code or tag in the script, or a direction before the Spanish words so it switches pronunciation? Or am I out of luck for now, and should I use my account for a different brand instead? Any tips appreciated 🙏

Hey, Heriberto, How is this working out for you? I haven't started using Sonder for my Spanish books yet.
