Editorial Structure & Storyboard Timeline (20s Total Runtime · Fast (2.2s avg shot))
- 01 · THE HOOK (00:00 – 00:03 · 15%): Prompt-to-Execution Split Reveal for Firecrawl — Opens immediately on the high-contrast tension point before showing the brand logo, locking viewer retention in the first 3 seconds. (Camera: 1.6x macro push-in with 0ms dead air on frame 1)
- 02 · HERO UI REVEAL (00:03 – 00:09 · 30%): Core Firecrawl Surface & Interaction Loop — Demonstrates the primary action in a single continuous take (6s) with cursor smoothing and highlighted focal bounds. (Camera: Isometric-to-flat spring settle (cubic-bezier 0.22, 1, 0.36, 1))
- 03 · VELOCITY MONTAGE (00:09 – 00:16 · 35%): Multi-State Feature Proof on Downbeat Cuts — Compresses 3–4 secondary workflows into rapid visual proof without narration drag. (Camera: Fast (2.2s avg shot) matched to 122 BPM transients)
- 04 · PAYOFF & LOCKUP (00:16 – 00:20 · 20%): Firecrawl Brand Lockup & Availability CTA — Holds final URL and launch status cleanly for 4s so viewers on X stop scrolling and click the link. (Camera: Clean center lockup with subtle radial luminance decay)
