Postproduction
Before you upload your video, we recommend adding some postproduction content such as name and title information for anyone interviewed, or an outro slide.
Video Name/Title Treatment
Name/Title Typography Specs
- Font: Helvetica Medium (or Arial Bold). Use upper and lowercase (not all caps).
- Size: Keep name and title the same size.
- Leading (the space between lines of type): Standard 120% (e.g. 18 pt/21.6 pt)
- Color: Black
- Surrounding box: Use a white box with 90% opacity with 6 to 8 px of space around the text.
Name/Title Horizontal Placement
Name/Title Vertical Placement
Using the lower third gridline from the rule of thirds, place the name block:
A above the gridline
B centered on the gridline
C below the gridline
Video Intro and Outro Specs
Intro
Viewers decide within the first 10 to 20 seconds whether to watch a video all the way through, so you want to hook them with dynamic intro content. Make sure you have a good headline and description so that you can skip a logo or title and dive right in to your content! After that, show your most gripping points.
Outro
- Include a call to action. Make it clear to the viewer what you want them to do next (give, register, respond, or whatever). This is usually a direction statement followed by a short web address. Brief is best. If you need to request a go address, contact Morgan Stone Grether or Lawrence Siulagi.
- Credits. Keep them clean and simple. Do not use scrolling text/crawl. Either dissolve between screens or reveal one line at a time.
