How a video is built

Every video in these guides — and every video you'll invent yourself — is built the same way: as a list of beats.

Beats

A beat is one idea on screen. A line of text landing. A feature name over a background. A logo drawing itself on. When the idea changes, the beat changes.

Three rules cover most of it:

• One idea per beat. If describing a beat needs the word "and", it's two beats.
• A text beat lives about two seconds — long enough to read once, not twice.
• A video is five to ten beats. The launch video is eight.

The skeleton

Every video that works has the same three acts:

1. Hook — why anyone should care: a pain, a bold claim, a question.
2. Body — what it is: features, value, proof.
3. Close — what to do next: a command, a URL, a date.

Not sure what beats to write? One or two hook beats, three to five body beats, one close beat. That's a video.

The vocabulary

When you describe a beat to your agent, plain words work — and some plain words map especially well to what remocn can build:

• "an animated headline" — a line of text that enters with motion
• "lines that stack up" — claims appearing one after another
• "a living background" — slow, animated color behind everything
• "a hard cut" / "a scene change" — how one beat hands over to the next
• "a terminal that types" — a command line typing itself out
• "a fake app screen" — an interface with buttons, menus, and dialogs that act
• "a logo that draws itself on"
• "a counter" — a number counting up to a milestone

You never need to know what any of these are called internally. Your agent does.

From beats to prompt

Write your video as a numbered list of beats — one line each, your copy in quotes. That list is 80% of a prompt; add a format line and a style line and it's done:

Build a ~15-second, 1920×1080, 30fps video in this Remotion project,
using remocn components:
 
1. Hook — an animated headline: "<YOUR LINE>".
2. Body — three lines that stack up: <YOUR CLAIMS>.
3. Close — a terminal that types: `<YOUR CTA>`.
 
Style: dark background, one accent color <HEX>, calm pacing.

When the first cut plays, switch hats: you're the director now — see Directing your agent.
