Overview

Social Media Videos in ACT 3 AI are optimized for platforms like TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, and Facebook. The platform streamlines every step — from project setup and script generation to editing, rendering, and exporting in platform-ready formats.

Supported Platforms

• **TikTok** – 15s–60s vertical 9:16 videos, trend-driven content.
• **YouTube Shorts** – Up to 60s vertical videos, focused on retention and discovery.
• **Instagram Reels** – Short vertical clips with overlays, trending sounds.
• **Facebook Video Ads** – 9:16 vertical or 1:1 square formats for social ads.
• **LinkedIn Videos** – Professional explainers, testimonials, and training in 16:9 or 1:1.

Workflow for Social Media Videos

Step 1: Create a Project

• Go to New Project → Select “Social Media Video”.
• Choose aspect ratio:
  • 9:16 – TikTok, Reels, Shorts
  • 1:1 – Instagram/Facebook square ads
  • 16:9 – YouTube horizontal
• Define audience, tone, and target platform.

Step 2: Script & Messaging

• Use AI Wizard to generate catchy intros, beats, and CTAs.
• Draft or import scripts that emphasize short, punchy dialogue.
• Focus on strong hooks in the first 3–5 seconds.

Step 3: Visual Design

• Use Digital Actors or avatars that fit your target demographic.
• Add text overlays, emojis, and logos to drive brand recognition.
• Build dynamic settings with Set Design and Top-Down View.

Step 4: Rendering

• Generate previews with WAN AI Integration for fast team feedback.
• Render final clips with Google Veo 3 for realism or Runway Integration for stylized content.
• Keep most exports at 1080p for speed and compatibility.

Step 5: Export & Publish

• Export via Export Distribution as MP4.
• Auto-generate subtitles & captions for accessibility.
• Create multi-language versions to maximize reach.
• Publish directly to TikTok, YouTube Shorts, or Instagram.

Best Practices

• **Hook early:** First 3 seconds determine audience retention.
• **Keep it short:** 15–30s performs best on TikTok/Reels.
• **Format correctly:** Always use 9:16 for vertical-first platforms.
• **Use trends:** Incorporate popular sounds, hashtags, and styles.
• **Brand consistency:** Keep fonts, colors, and tone aligned across campaigns.

Troubleshooting

• **Video cropped incorrectly** → Verify aspect ratio in project settings.
• **Low engagement** → Shorten script, add stronger CTAs, or test variations.
• **Export too large** → Use 1080p instead of 4K for social platforms.
• **Subtitles misaligned** → Regenerate with subtitle sync enabled.

Example Use Cases

• TikTok lifestyle or comedy skits.
• YouTube Shorts explainers or micro-documentaries.
• Instagram Reels product promotions.
• Facebook video ads for campaigns.
