Her reason for the text rule: "people on social media want to feel like you created this video on social media."
“Always back up and use 2x zoom.”
Every item is free and checkable, which makes this the highest-value ten minutes in the Playbook. The 2x zoom rule alone will visibly change your footage today. The font rule isn't taste — heavily produced text reads as an advertisement, and people scroll past advertisements. The whole setup aims at one thing: making a listing reel look like it was made on the platform rather than exported to it.
