Tips for X (Twitter)
- Put the main message in the first frame: a scrolling viewer should read it in half a second.
- The video must make sense with the sound off; music and effects should support the message, not carry it.
- Keep text in the middle of the safe box; feed and profile-grid previews crop the edges.
- Choose the cover frame yourself: a big, readable headline in your brand color.
