Three numbered steps landing down a drawn rail, with the total time chipped at the foot.
The recipe post someone actually cooks from, sized for a story they can hold open with a wet thumb. Three steps is the constraint rather than a default — a recipe that needs five is a video, and this card is for the ones that do not. Put the temperature or the timing inside each step, then repeat the total at the bottom.
Three steps is the constraint. A recipe that needs five is a video, and this card is for the ones that do not. Put the temperature or the timing inside each step, Roast at 220°C for 25 minutes, then repeat the total at the foot. The kicker sets the occasion.
Recipe Steps Strip 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 1.8 seconds, holds for 1.8 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.
About forty characters, one line at story scale. Write it as an instruction with the number in it and cut anything that is not an action.
Not on this card. It is method only. Put the ingredients in the caption or on a second card, and let this one be the thing they cook from.
