About the Set Menu Board animation

A menu board for the evening rather than the season, sized for a story a kitchen can post the afternoon it changes. The leaders draw so the eye is carried across each row to its price instead of hunting for it. Write the dishes the way the kitchen says them out loud — three or four words, no descriptions — because a menu that needs reading twice does not survive a story.

Where it fits

  • As the Story a kitchen posts the afternoon the evening menu changes.
  • On a screen by the door, looping the set menu.
  • In a weekly specials post.

Filling it in

Write the dishes the way the kitchen says them out loud, three or four words and no descriptions: Olives and lardo, Cacio e pepe. A menu that needs reading twice does not survive a story. Prices go in their own fields and the footer carries the days and hours.

Format and timing

Set Menu Board 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 0.3 seconds, holds for 3.3 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 Set Menu Board

What do the leader rules do?

They draw from the dish to its price, so the eye is carried across each row rather than hunting. It is the dotted line on a printed menu, animated.

Can I show fewer than five dishes?

Leave the last dish and price empty and that row vanishes. Four reads fine; three starts to look sparse on a tall frame.
