Finance tutorial

You will make how a simple monthly budget works, with the finance pack and its ledger theme. Allow about ten minutes before recording.

1. Create the episode

reelforge new budget-basics --pack finance --template budget-basics --lang en

Use --lang ar for an Arabic version. The pack also has compound-interest and scam-alert. The pack catalog lists every template and its slots.

2. Fill in your details

Open the episode with reelforge edit budget-basics and replace the default names, numbers and keyword with your own, or start from the dashboard (+ New episode → Start from template), whose form asks for each field. Keep within the length limits shown for each slot.

Audience and tone. Everyday customers, young earners and small business owners. Be neutral and trustworthy; explain jargon once.

• Use a donut-chart for shares of a budget and a counter for one key amount.
• Mark illustrative numbers on screen with a label such as "example values".
• One idea per episode: budgeting, interest or scams, not all three.

3. Check the content

• No financial advice: no "buy", "sell", "invest in", products or allocations.
• No promised returns and no "risk-free".
• Add "General information, not financial advice." to the caption, and on screen when numbers appear.

4. Validate, record and render

reelforge validate budget-basics
reelforge align budget-basics          # after you save voice.wav in the episode folder
reelforge render budget-basics

A finished example is in packs/finance/examples/budget-split-en; render it with --silent to compare.
