Snow on the Window Only
Leave the snow on the outside of the glass. The host stays indoors and dry, with the weather readable behind them.
Snow stays on the window. The host stays indoors and dry. Weather is the view, not a costume on the person. Hair, shoulders, and the counter should show no flakes and no melt. You can read the season through the glass, and you can still see a face lit by the room. One person speaks. The first line is the point of the reel, not a comment about the storm. If the face or the voice could pass for a real person, say in the caption that it is AI, and leave the platform label in place. Put the snow on the outside of the pane, dry the host's hair and shoulders, and say the shop point rather than a comment about the storm. Keep one speaker. A practical reel is 15–45 seconds. The first 3 seconds show a dry person indoors with weather only on the glass, and they say the last day for in-shop pickup if that is the real day. Reject flakes on the eyelashes, a wet coat, or blue snow light that replaces the room lamp. If the face or the voice could be mistaken for a real person, the caption must say it is AI, and the platform label stays in place.
Put the weather on the glass
Describe snow on the outside of the pane, with the interior dry. Flakes on the eyelashes, the collar, or the product mean the storm came inside. A wet coat is a different picture. This one is a shop in warm light, with winter visible and not landing on the speaker. Describe the interior as dry before you describe the glass, and check collar, hair, and counter for melt. The first 3 seconds show the host inside and say the pickup day. Reject a storm that landed on the speaker before you post.
Light the face from the room
The window can rim the shoulder. It should not turn the host into a silhouette unless you mean to lose the face. A lamp or the room's own daylight keeps skin a real color. Blue snow light on the cheeks is the weather leaking in. Correct it on the still, before the person speaks. Light the face from the room lamp after the window is only a rim, and correct the color while it is a still. In the first 3 seconds the picture is a readable face, not a silhouette, and the words are the shop point. Do not post cheeks dyed the blue of the snow.
Speak the shop point
The snow is the setting. The sentence is the offer, the date, or the hours. One person holds the frame from the first 3 seconds. A realistic face or voice is labeled as AI in the caption. The glass can stay in the background so the season is obvious without covering the mouth. Give the first sentence to the offer, the date, or the hours, with one person holding the frame. In the first 3 seconds, viewers see dry wool and hear the pickup day. Throw out a second voice or a mouth hidden by the glass before the file goes up.
A worked example
A wool shop owner stands inside, beside a window streaked with snow on the outer glass. The sweater and hair are dry. A warm lamp lights the face. The first sentence is the last day for in-shop pickup, which is the day that shop actually offers. The caption says the host is AI. Stand inside beside the streaked pane, confirm the sweater is dry, then say the last pickup day. The first 3 seconds show the wool shop owner and the outer snow and say that day. Reject flakes on the hair. One speaker, 15–45 seconds. If the face looks real, the caption says the host is AI, and the platform label stays visible.
Before you post
- Keep snow on the outside of the glass.
- Leave the host dry.
- Label a realistic face or voice as AI.
Where Scro fits
Scro has one person speak in this dry interior. Use one of 13 caption styles for the shop point, and export 9:16 with the window still readable. If the face or the voice is realistic, label it as AI. Export 9:16 with the window still readable and the host still dry. The first 3 seconds show the interior and say the shop point. Reject snow on the shoulders. If the face or voice could be mistaken for a real person, the caption says it is AI.
Keep the snow outside. Finished samples are on the examples page.
