**Record** is where you film the video your custom sends out. You record a
handful of short pieces once, and everyone who comes through gets their own
video, assembled from the pieces that match them.

Nobody records a video per person. The variety comes from the pieces.

A custom cannot go live until every clip is recorded — the readiness banner on
**Overview** names what is missing, and its **Continue** button brings you here
when Record is next.

- **[Your first clip](/en/customs/record/your-first-clip/)** — start filming, and
  what scenes, clips and takes actually are.
- **[Choosing who sees a clip](/en/customs/record/who-sees-a-clip/)** — branch one
  moment on someone's answers or their score.
- **[When there are too many clips](/en/customs/record/too-many-versions/)** —
  you cannot delete a clip on its own, so here is how to end up with fewer.
- **[Recording a clip](/en/customs/record/recording-a-clip/)** — the recorder,
  trimming a take, and what each lead sees in their video.
- **[Test a video](/en/customs/record/test-a-video/)** — make one real video for
  one person and watch it, before anyone else does.
- **[The footage bin](/en/customs/record/the-footage-bin/)** — where takes go when
  they lose their slot, and how to put them back.
