Testing yourself after a clip

Watching a clip is easy to forget by the next day, so video clip quiz questions help you check what actually stuck. Answering a question right after the clip shows you the gaps while the material is still fresh.

  • Paste captions or typed notes instead of uploading the video file
  • Mix multiple choice, true/false and short answer in one set
  • Read an explanation for every answer, right or wrong
  • Export to PDF or DOCX on Plus, or QTI and Moodle XML on Pro
Example biology questions from a lecture clip
Which organelle produces most of a cell's ATP?The mitochondrion. It carries out most of cellular respiration, which generates the bulk of the cell's ATP.
True or false: water moves by osmosis toward the side with higher solute concentration.True. Water moves across the membrane toward the side with more dissolved solute, which has lower water potential.
Why does the sodium-potassium pump need ATP?It moves 3 sodium ions out and 2 potassium ions in against their concentration gradients, which requires energy from ATP.
What is the main function of ribosomes?Protein synthesis. Ribosomes translate mRNA into a polypeptide chain, which folds into a functional protein.
During mitosis, when do sister chromatids separate?During anaphase. Cohesin is cleaved, so the chromatids are pulled to opposite poles of the cell.

Multiple choice, true/false and short answer

Pick the question type that fits the material. Each question comes with an explanation of the correct answer.

Built from your own text

Questions come from the transcript or notes you provide, so they match what your instructor actually covered.

Spaced repetition for review

Missed questions come back at increasing intervals, so the ideas from the clip stick past the next exam.

How it works

Copy the captions or your notes from the clip into a text file, or upload slides or a PDF.

Frequently asked questions

How many quiz questions should I write from a 10-minute clip?

Aim for one question per key idea, which usually means 5 to 10 for a short clip. Mix multiple choice with short answer so you test recall as well as recognition.

How do I study from a video lecture more effectively?

Pause after each main point and answer a question before continuing. Testing yourself soon after watching works better than simply rewatching the clip.

Can I upload a video file directly?

DeckOwl accepts PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, plain text and photos of pages. Paste the transcript or your notes from the clip instead.

Can I export quiz questions to QTI or Moodle XML?

Yes, on the Pro plan, which also includes a stronger AI model and bulk upload. PDF and DOCX export are part of Plus, and the free plan has 3 generations per month.
