How it works
Frequently asked questions
- What is a beat sheet for short-form video?
- A beat sheet is a timestamped outline of each moment in a video — what happens at each second, what type of shot it is, and what the viewer sees on screen. For short-form content like Reels and TikToks, a beat sheet ensures every second serves the retention goal and the viewer never has a reason to scroll away.
- What is B-roll footage?
- B-roll is supplementary footage that cuts away from the main talking-head or primary shot to visually support what's being said. Examples include close-ups, action shots, product demonstrations, or environmental footage. B-roll improves video engagement by adding visual variety and preventing the 'talking head fatigue' that causes viewers to scroll.
- How long should an Instagram Reel be in 2025?
- Instagram Reels between 7-30 seconds tend to have the highest completion rates, but Reels up to 90 seconds can perform well if the content sustains attention throughout. Algorithm priority currently favors Reels that are watched to completion and shared — both of which require strong pacing, which a beat sheet directly supports.
