## Short-Form Video (TikTok, Reels, Shorts)
|
||||
|
||||
Short-form video is the highest-reach format on every major platform. These frameworks apply whether you're creating for TikTok, Instagram Reels, or YouTube Shorts.
|
||||
|
||||
### Platform Specs
|
||||
|
||||
| Platform | Optimal Length | Aspect Ratio | Key Difference |
|
||||
|----------|---------------|--------------|----------------|
|
||||
| TikTok | 15-60 sec | 9:16 | Trending sounds, raw/authentic feel |
|
||||
| Reels | 15-30 sec | 9:16 | Polished content, rewards saves/shares |
|
||||
| Shorts | 30-60 sec | 9:16 | YouTube SEO applies, searchable titles |
|
||||
|
||||
### The 3-Second Rule
|
||||
|
||||
You have 3 seconds to stop the scroll. Every video needs three simultaneous hooks:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
[VISUAL HOOK] + [VERBAL HOOK] + [TEXT OVERLAY]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
All three should hit in the first second.
|
||||
|
||||
### Video Structures
|
||||
|
||||
**Problem-Solution (15-30 sec):**
|
||||
```
|
||||
[0-3s] Hook: State the problem
|
||||
[3-10s] Agitate: Why it matters
|
||||
[10-25s] Solution: Your method/product/tip
|
||||
[25-30s] CTA: What to do next
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**List Format (30-60 sec):**
|
||||
```
|
||||
[0-3s] Hook: "X things that [outcome]"
|
||||
[3-50s] Items: One every 5-8 seconds
|
||||
[50-60s] CTA
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Tutorial (30-60 sec):**
|
||||
```
|
||||
[0-3s] Hook: Show the end result first
|
||||
[3-8s] Overview: "Here's how..."
|
||||
[8-50s] Steps: Quick, clear instructions
|
||||
[50-60s] Result + CTA
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Caption & Subtitle Best Practices
|
||||
|
||||
Captions increase watch time by 25-40%. Most social video is watched without sound.
|
||||
|
||||
- **MAX 2 lines** on screen at once
|
||||
- **3-5 words per line**
|
||||
- Bold, sans-serif font with black outline
|
||||
- **Highlight key words** in a different color
|
||||
- Match timing to speech exactly
|
||||
|
||||
Tools: CapCut (free), Descript, Captions.ai, Premiere Pro
|
||||
|
||||
### Content Ideas by Type
|
||||
|
||||
| Business Type | Video Ideas |
|
||||
|---------------|-------------|
|
||||
| SaaS | Feature demos (show outcome first), before/after, "Watch me do X in Y seconds" |
|
||||
| E-commerce | Unboxing, comparisons, how it's made, customer reviews |
|
||||
| Services | Process reveals, client transformations, myth-busting |
|
||||
| Personal brand | Lessons learned, controversial takes, day-in-the-life |
|
||||
|
||||
### Common Mistakes
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Slow hooks** — don't build up to the point
|
||||
2. **No text overlay** — many watch without sound
|
||||
3. **Poor audio** — bad audio kills retention instantly
|
||||
4. **Too long** — if it can be shorter, make it shorter
|
||||
5. **No CTA** — tell viewers what to do
|
||||
6. **Ignoring comments** — engagement in first hour matters
|
||||
|
