Stack the frame: the speaker on top at 29 percent of the height, a locked camera, one take; one board canvas below at 71 percent in a saturated brand colour.\n2. Build the board first as one large canvas: a title, a row of examples, every numbered step with its number in a hand-drawn circle, its title in marker lettering and its screenshot beside it.\n3. Frame 0 shows the whole board zoomed out with the title readable. The first word is on frame 0.\n4. Move the virtual camera to each step as it is named and hold until the next: 4 to 5.5 moves per 10 seconds, each hold 1.2 to 1.8 seconds.\n5. Draw a circle by hand around any button or field the speaker describes.\n6. Captions of three words (two to four), white heavy capitals on a tight black box, centred on the seam.\n7. No music and no sound effects. Voice at -14 LUFS, true peak at or under -1.5 dBTP.\n8. End by zooming back out to the full board on the closing line.\n\n## Not for\n\nEmotional stories, testimonials, product beauty, anything under 20 seconds, a topic with no visual steps.",

  "chat": "Give me a production plan: the shots or scenes in order, what each one needs, and the edit settings, for a short video about [your product], for [your audience]. The technique is red board list: the viewer always sees the whole list and where they are in it. How it works: one continuous take of the speaker on top, a single brand-colour board below with every numbered step, a virtual camera walking the board to the step being named, three-word captions on the seam. It is right for: tool tutorials, step lists, how-tos with a screenshot per step. The speaker zone must stay one continuous take; a cut or reframe there is the listed failure. Measured: the board changes 4.7 times per 10 seconds with a median hold of 1.44 seconds, the voice starts on frame 0 at 4.21 words per second, and there is no music. Be concrete: numbers, seconds and settings, no theory. Ask me one question first if something you need is missing."
