How to use it
- Pick the length and format first: 4, 6 or 8 seconds, vertical for Reels and TikTok.
- Describe one subject and one action. Short clips work best with a single idea.
- Add camera, lighting and mood words so the clip matches your brand.
- Use timed beats if you want two or three shots in one clip, and describe sound separately.
Tips
- Write what you want to see instead of “no …”. Describe the scene without the unwanted element.
- Put the product or logo moment in the last beat.
- Keep dialogue short and in quotation marks.
