StorySplice example workflow

Morning Farm Work: from a short topic to a narrated video

This example shows the decisions behind a vertical short video: shaping the script, planning stock-footage searches, selecting narration, styling captions and preparing the final MP4.

Public example · 0:42 · portrait 9:16 · narrated with burned-in captions

Download example MP4

01 · Starting point

Define one visual, focused idea

The topic “Morning Farm Work” establishes a place, time and activity. A useful short-video topic should suggest concrete scenes instead of relying on broad or abstract wording.

Format
Portrait 9:16
Final length
42 seconds
Tone
Calm, observational and warm

02 · Script plan

Write narration that can be shown

The narration progresses through waking before sunrise, preparing tools, tending animals and crops, and completing the first work of the day. Each sentence should have a practical visual counterpart.

StorySplice can draft this structure with AI, but the creator should review facts, pacing and claims before generation.

03 · Visual searches

Translate narration into specific footage

Search phrases included “farmer planting seedlings field,” “feeding cattle hay barn,” “collecting eggs chicken coop,” “farmer checking irrigation crops” and “sorting harvested vegetables crates.” Ordered footage keeps the sequence close to the narration.

04 · Sound and captions

Keep the voice clear and text readable

A warm English voice, restrained background music and bottom-positioned captions support the story without competing for attention. Caption contrast and safe margins matter most on a small phone screen.

Caption design guide

How to design readable captions for vertical video

Captions must compete with moving footage, small screens and platform controls. Design them as part of the composition instead of adding them after everything else.

9:16 videoReadability checklistUpdated August 24, 2026

Keep captions inside a practical safe area

Vertical platforms place interface controls near the top, bottom and right edge. Exact overlays vary by platform, device and viewing mode, so there is no universal pixel value. Keep essential text away from the extreme edges and preview it inside the destination app before publishing.

Bottom captions are familiar, but they should sit high enough to avoid descriptions and navigation. Move them higher when the subject’s hands or product occupy the lower third. The safest position is the one that preserves both the words and the visual evidence.

Use short, meaningful caption units

Break captions at natural phrase boundaries. A viewer should understand each unit without holding half a sentence in memory. Avoid leaving a preposition, article or person’s name stranded on a separate line. Two concise lines are generally easier to scan than a wide block of text.

Hard to scan

Before sunrise the first jobs on the farm are already getting underway.

Clearer grouping

Before sunrise,
the first jobs are already underway.

Do not remove words in a way that changes the meaning. When shortening is appropriate, edit the narration and captions together so they remain aligned.

Create contrast that survives changing footage

White text may look clear over one dark scene and disappear over the next bright sky. An outline, shadow or semi-opaque background helps maintain contrast across varied stock footage. Use a restrained treatment: a very thick outline or saturated block can become more distracting than the video.

Colour should not carry meaning by itself. Viewers with colour-vision differences still need a shape, label or wording that communicates the distinction.

Choose size by testing, not by copying a number

Font size depends on video resolution, typeface width, line length and viewing distance. Start with a size that supports two short lines, then preview the exported video at normal phone size. A caption that looks elegant on a desktop editor can be unreadable when the video occupies a narrow feed.

  • Use a typeface with clear letter shapes.
  • Avoid very thin weights over moving backgrounds.
  • Check punctuation and accented characters.
  • Keep capitalization consistent; full uppercase slows reading when overused.

Give viewers time to read the complete thought

Captions should appear with the corresponding speech and remain long enough to read. Rapid word-by-word animation can create energy, but it also increases visual load and makes corrections harder to notice. Phrase-level captions are usually calmer and more accessible for explainers.

Check where a caption changes during a pause. A new line should not imply the speaker has started a different point before the audio does.

Test the finished file under realistic conditions

Watch the video once without sound, once on a small screen and once over the busiest visual section. Confirm spelling, timing, contrast, safe placement and line breaks. Check names and numbers against the approved script rather than trusting automatic transcription.

Captions improve access, but they are not a complete accessibility solution for every audience. Consider a transcript or audio description when the communication goal requires it.

Style captions before the render

StorySplice lets you preview placement, colour, size, outline and background choices in one workspace.
