Questions
Straight answers.
How long can a short be?
30 seconds to 2 minutes. New shorts start at 45 seconds, and you can change it before the script is written.
What are alternative openings?
For any vertical video, StrokeTale writes three other first scenes. Preview them for free and keep the one that stops the scroll.
Are captions included?
Yes. Bold captions are on for every new short, word by word, and you can pick from 6 styles or download SRT and VTT files.
Will an ad invent results or prices?
No. Ad formats use only the figures you give. Story ads are clearly fictional, never presented as real reviews.
Your first short is a topic away.
