For electricians
Short videos for electricians, no filming
For electrical contractors who want to explain their work without filming inside a panel: what to post, what a month of shorts costs next to a freelancer, and what ViewGum can't do for you yet.
How can an electrical contractor make short videos without filming?
ViewGum's 3D Build turns one line, like how power gets from the street to your outlet, into a narrated 3D short for TikTok, Reels and Shorts. It builds the path from the service drop to the outlet piece by piece and names each part. Each short is priced before it starts.
The line: “How power gets from the street to your outlet”
What does a 3D Build short look like?
A muted excerpt of a 3D Build short made with ViewGum. It was not made for an electrical contractor.
What should an electrical contractor post on TikTok, Reels and Shorts?
One true, general thing your customers ask about, one line each. Each is built in 3D, with a narrator.

How power gets from the street to your outlet
Most homeowners have never looked inside their panel. Following the power through the meter, the main breaker and one circuit gives them words for what you do.

Why bathroom outlets need a GFCI
It turns a code rule into a story: water, a fault, then the outlet that cuts the power in a fraction of a second. A story is easier to remember than a rule.

What a breaker does when a circuit overloads
A tripped breaker is often the first electrical problem a homeowner meets. A short explains what the breaker protected them from before they reset it again.

How an EV charger is wired into a garage
It is a job people plan ahead for. A short that runs the new circuit from the panel to the charger answers their first questions before they call.

Why old two-prong outlets get replaced
Owners of older homes see them every day and wonder whether they matter. A short shows what the missing ground prong was for.

What an arc fault breaker catches
Arc fault breakers read like jargon on an estimate. Showing a damaged cord sparking inside a wall makes the line item make sense.

What rules apply when an electrical contractor posts videos?
Each links the body that sets it. Read your short against them before you post.
- Some states require a contractor's license number in all advertising, and California's board counts any electronic transmission as advertising, so add yours to the caption where your state asks. (Contractors State License Board (California))
- Paid or gifted posts about your business must say so under the FTC's Endorsement Guides. (Federal Trade Commission)
What can't ViewGum do for an electrical contractor yet?
- It can't use your own photos or footage yet; every short is built in 3D from your line.
- It doesn't post for you: you export an MP4 with post copy for each app.
- It shows a typical job, never your own work.
- It explains how a part works in general. Local code and the inspector decide what a given job needs, so a short is never a substitute for that answer.
Can I make these shorts from my AI assistant?
Yes. Connect ViewGum once to Claude, ChatGPT, Grok, Gemini or another assistant below, then ask for a short in the chat. It shows the price and waits for your yes.
Also 15 terminal agents and code editors, such as Claude Code, Codex CLI, Cursor and VS Code.
