One fixed mask holds the frame for the whole list, a horizon-shaped arc; each item is a new full-bleed texture inside it, cut hard on the beat, with a numbered two-line label at the bottom left.
List reel: one shape, a new surface per item
A long list goes by fast and still feels like one film.

- N tools, N workflows, N of anything, with the full list in the post text.
Prompt instructions
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 list reel: one shape, a new surface per item: a long list goes by fast and still feels like one film. How it works: one fixed mask holds the frame for the whole list, a horizon-shaped arc; each item is a new full-bleed texture inside it, cut hard on the beat, with a numbered two-line label at the bottom left. It is right for: n tools, N workflows, N of anything, with the full list in the post text. Measured on the reference: 20 items in about 11 seconds after a 2.2-second title, a cut every 0.45 to 0.9 seconds, music only at -14.0 LUFS. Half a second per item only works when the list is also in the post text, so viewers can read it there. Be concrete: numbers, seconds and settings, no theory. Ask me one question first if something you need is missing.
