Platform Templates That Know What Works

0:000:00

You've got 0.5 seconds. That's how long someone on TikTok decides whether to scroll past your video or watch it.

And here's the thing—what works on TikTok doesn't work on YouTube. What crushes on Instagram falls flat on LinkedIn.

Each platform has its own rules. Its own algorithm. Its own psychology.

Learning all of this takes months. Trial and error. Wasted credits on videos that don't perform. Or... you could let someone who already knows do the work for you.

That's it. The template handles:

  • • Optimal aspect ratio
  • • Best duration for the platform
  • • Platform-specific prompt modifiers
  • • Negative prompt to avoid common issues
  • • Recommended camera/lens/lighting presets
  • • Safe zones for UI elements

The Science Behind Each Template

Every template includes platform psychology:

TikTok Product Reveal knows that:

  • • Watch time + completion rate + replays = reach
  • • Users decide in 0.5 seconds
  • • Motion in the first 3 frames is critical
  • • High contrast colors get favored by the algorithm

So it auto-applies: 9:16 aspect ratio, 4 second duration, "scroll-stopping, high contrast, vertical composition" modifiers, and negative prompt: "slow fade in, static, boring"

You just fill in what product you're revealing.

Form-Based Workflow

Each template has custom form fields:

TikTok Product Reveal asks:

  • • What product are you revealing?
  • • What motion style? (orbital, explosive, smooth)
  • • What lighting style? (dramatic, soft, neon)
  • • What background? (dark, colorful, clean)
