15 to 45 Seconds for the Reel

Cut the reel to 15 to 45 seconds. That is the practical length for Jun at Hearth Bakery. A reel can run from 3 seconds to 3 minutes, so a longer file is possible, and this counter post does not need it. The first 3 seconds carry the point: they close at four. One person speaks. Captions sit upper-middle. A realistic face or voice is labeled as AI. The length here is the cut you export. It is not a claim about how quickly any tool renders the picture. Approve the still, then keep the speech inside that practical range. Decide the cut from the message, then stop. Put they close at four inside the opening, keep one supporting fact, hold the last line, and trim the middle until the export sits between fifteen and forty-five seconds. The first three seconds show Jun at the counter while he says they close at four. A greeting that pushes the hour later, or a bad still stretched only to fill time, is rejected before posting. One speaker, and the caption says the face and voice are AI. The length is the cut you export.

Practical means the counter post

Fifteen to forty-five seconds holds the closing time, one supporting fact, and a short hold on the last line. Jun does not need a tour. If the draft runs long, cut the middle, not the first three seconds and not the offer at the end. A three-second version is possible when the single sentence is the whole post. Three minutes is the long end, and the bakery does not have to use it. The practical counter post holds the closing time, one supporting fact, and the last line. Cut the middle when the draft runs long, and leave the open and the offer in place. The first three seconds show the hour while Jun says they close at four. A cut that removes the open, or the offer at the end, is the edit you reject.

The open carries the point

Whatever the final length, the first three seconds say they close at four. A greeting before that fact wastes the open. The caption in the upper-middle is readable for that whole opening. Bottom and right stay clear of the reel interface. One person remains in the corner so the cut does not spend time on entrances. The final length can move inside the practical range, and the hour still leads. Keep the upper-middle readable and the bottom and the right clear. The first three seconds show Jun in the corner while he says they close at four. A greeting before that fact, or an entrance that spends the open, is refused.

Length is not a render promise

A worked example

Jun at Hearth Bakery exports a vertical reel that lands between 15 and 45 seconds. The first three seconds say they close at four. He holds that line at the end. Captions sit upper-middle. The post is labeled as AI. He does not stretch the file toward three minutes, and he does not treat the runtime as a promise about rendering. Hour in the open, a short middle, a hold at the end, then an export between fifteen and forty-five seconds. The first three seconds show Jun while he says they close at four. A file padded past that practical range is the cut you reject for this counter post. The caption says the host is AI.

Before you post

• The export is 15 to 45 seconds.
• The first 3 seconds carry the point.
• The realistic voice is labeled as AI.

Where Scro fits

Scro keeps one person speaking and can set the line in one of 13 caption styles. Export the practical cut at 9:16. Label a realistic face or voice as AI, and leave any platform label on the post. Approve the still, keep the speech inside the practical cut, and export at 9:16 after the hour is still first. The first three seconds show Jun while he says they close at four. A greeting that delays the hour is rejected before posting. The caption says the face and voice are AI.
