Great video is less about the gear or how you set up the shot and more about the story you are telling.

— Kirk Peter, Splice Video

Long Form Video

A video that is 5+ minutes long usually with 1920x1080 dimension is considered long form video. You can do so many things, you can make a video walk-through of how the sounds were made in a track or you can do an interview style video talking about the inspiration behind the pack. You can also do a video essay style video, check out the videos below for some examples we’ve done! Check out our YouTube channel.

Short Form Video

Story Page Video

A video with not specific length but is 1920x1080 or horizontal format is a short form video. Story page videos are not so tied down to a specific length but these story pages are a great place to go deeper and share the story of your pack. Historically, creators have made anything from 2 minute to 30 minute videos. Sometimes it’s using the sounds in an actual production or just walking through how you’ve made them. Story pages live on Splice.com and offer a place for Splice users to get to know you better!

A video that is 1:30 or shorter usually in 1080x1920 or vertical format is a short form video. For these, we would want you to lean into what the current trend or video style is on instagram, tik tok and youtube shorts. The key is that it’s shorter than 1 minute 30 seconds, usually high energy and provides high entertainment or high value to the viewer. See some examples below!
