# The whole list as a map in frame 0

Story / Hook / Visual hooks and animations. Checked 2026-11-13.

The thumbnail promises completeness, which is a reason to save.

- Use when: Step lists, tutorials, process explainers.
- Phrase: the first frame shows the entire board zoomed out, the title and all ten numbered steps, before the camera goes to step one

## Watch out

- Measured: 11 percent of plays saved at 72 times the account's median for a ten-step board; 6.2 percent saved for a seven-step canvas. (measured; Director Chair measurement of a published short, 22 Oct 2026 and Director Chair measurement of a published short, 23 Oct 2026)
- Frame 0 showing a single step is a listed failure of both styles. (practitioner; Director Chair measurement of a published short, Oct 2026)
