About the Key Takeaway Slab animation

The takeaway card, for pulling one sentence out of a long video and posting it on its own. Splitting the sentence across three windowed lines forces it short enough to read at story scale, which is the discipline the format exists for. Number it when it belongs to a series: a chip that says 03 implies 01 and 02 are worth finding.

Where it fits

  • For pulling one sentence out of a long video and posting it on its own.
  • In a series of takeaways, numbered on the chip.
  • As a Story after a podcast episode.

Filling it in

Split the sentence across the three lines, which forces it short enough to read at story scale: One clear sentence, beats the algorithm, every single time. Number it when it belongs to a series, since a chip that says 03 implies 01 and 02 are worth finding. The caption adds the next thought.

Format and timing

Key Takeaway Slab is built at 1080 × 1920, a 9:16 portrait frame, the shape Reels, TikTok, Shorts and Stories fill from edge to edge, and runs 4 seconds at 30 frames per second. It arrives in 1.9 seconds, holds for 1.7 and clears in 0.4, so cue it a beat before the moment it labels. Export it as an MP4 for a timeline or a feed, a GIF where video will not embed, or a MOV with an alpha channel to lay it over footage with nothing behind it. Renders go up to 4K, and the free plan exports at 720p with a watermark.

Questions about Key Takeaway Slab

What if my sentence does not split into three?

Rewrite it until it does. That discipline is the format. A takeaway that needs a paragraph is a lesson, not a takeaway.

Can I leave the number off?

Clear the number field and the chip collapses. The eyebrow still says KEY TAKEAWAY, so the card reads as a one-off rather than part of a run.
