# Tool-call label on a result

Edit / Edit effect / Overlays and inserts. Checked 2026-11-13.

A number reads as live output from a tool, not as a mock-up.

- Use when: Launch films for connectors, integrations and AI products.
- Phrase: a small label above each result card names the call that produced it, followed by a check mark

## Watch out

- Seen on a 40-second connector launch film where every result card carries its call. It is the film maker's device; its effect on viewers was not measured. (practitioner; Director Chair notes on Launch video structure on Poolday (Raphael Guilhem))

Give me an edit brief: where it goes on the timeline, the exact settings, and what to check before export, for a short video about [your product], for [your audience]. The technique is tool-call label on a result: a number reads as live output from a tool, not as a mock-up. How it works: a small label above each result card names the call that produced it, followed by a check mark. It is right for: launch films for connectors, integrations and AI products. Seen on a 40-second connector launch film where every result card carries its call. Be concrete: numbers, seconds and settings, no theory. Ask me one question first if something you need is missing.
