Social-first video, built to survive the feed
A good social video is not a shortened ad. It is a different format: first-frame hook, fast beats, no intro, and one reason to keep watching past second three.

- State the problem in a complete sentence — not a title card.
- Show something moving. Static frames read as slideshows.
- Give a reason to keep watching: an open question, an unfinished action.
Formats and their constraints
| Platform | Ratio | Practical length | Watch out for |
|---|---|---|---|
| TikTok | 9:16 | 9–20s | Text hidden behind the caption bar |
| Reels | 9:16 | 12–25s | Bottom and top safe zones |
| Shorts | 9:16 | 15–30s | First frame used as thumbnail |
Posting rhythm beats one perfect video
Five structured videos a week outperform one polished hero film, because retention data compounds and one video teaches you almost nothing. The pack is built for volume: same structure, new words, fifteen minutes per video.
Common questions
Can I reuse one video on all three platforms?
Yes. Export once at 1080x1920 and adjust caption placement for each platform's safe zone.
