Video Production Guide
High-End Tech Documentary style standards for all Rankability video content. Every video should feel like a premium documentary about AI and search technology.
High-End Tech Documentary Style
Our videos embody the production quality of premium tech documentaries. Think Apple keynotes meets Bloomberg technology segments - clean, authoritative, and visually sophisticated.
Pacing
Deliberate and confident. Let information breathe.
Tone
Authoritative yet approachable. Expert without arrogance.
Quality
Every frame intentional. No filler, no dead air.
Editing & Pacing
Zero-Gap Editing
- • Remove all pauses, "ums," and filler words
- • Cut directly from end of one sentence to start of next
- • Maintain natural speech rhythm despite tight editing
- • Use room tone to smooth cuts when needed
- • No dead air - every second should deliver value
J/L Cuts
- • J-Cut: Audio starts before video transition (builds anticipation)
- • L-Cut: Audio continues after video transition (maintains flow)
- • Use J-cuts to introduce screen recordings
- • Use L-cuts to return from demonstrations
- • Creates professional, documentary-quality transitions
Key Principle: Pacing should feel like a conversation with the smartest person in the room - efficient, clear, and respectful of the viewer's time.
Screen Recordings
Recording Standards
- • Resolution: 4K (3840×2160) or 1080p minimum
- • Frame rate: 60fps for smooth cursor movement
- • Clean desktop - hide all personal icons/bookmarks
- • Use browser in incognito mode (clean UI)
- • Zoom browser to 125-150% for visibility
Cursor & Interaction
- • Use default system cursor (no custom cursors)
- • Move cursor smoothly and deliberately
- • Pause cursor briefly on important elements
- • Use subtle click animations if software supports
- • Never rush - let viewers follow the action
Zoom & Focus
- • Use smooth zoom transitions (0.5-1s duration)
- • Zoom to 150-200% on key interface elements
- • Center the action in frame after zooming
- • Return to full view before major context shifts
Annotations
- • Use subtle highlight boxes (Brand Blue, 50% opacity)
- • Arrows: Simple, clean, same brand colors
- • Text callouts: Graphik Medium, 24-32px
- • Remove annotations after 2-3 seconds
Sound Design
Background Music
- • Ambient electronic, minimal percussion
- • Volume: -20dB to -25dB under voice
- • Fade in over 2-3 seconds at start
- • Swell slightly during transitions
- • No lyrics - instrumental only
Voice Audio
- • Target level: -6dB to -3dB peak
- • Apply light compression (3:1 ratio)
- • High-pass filter at 80Hz
- • De-ess if needed (6-8kHz range)
- • Consistent volume throughout
Sound Effects
- • Subtle "whoosh" for transitions (0.3-0.5s)
- • Soft clicks for UI interactions
- • Light risers before key reveals
- • Keep SFX volume low (-15dB to -20dB)
- • Never distracting - always enhancing
