Best Practices

Whether you are a creator optimizing your own content or a clipper managing multiple clients, following these guidelines ensures the best AI results.

🎥 For Creators

Make your long-form content AI-ready from the start.

Audio is King: Our AI relies on transcriptions to find viral moments. Clear audio = better clip selection. Avoid heavy background music over speech.
Resolution: Upload at least 1080p. Since we crop vertically (9:16), higher source resolution preserves sharpness in the zoom.
Framing: While our AI tracks faces, try not to sit at the extreme edges of the frame. Standard centered or rule-of-thirds framing works best.

The AI looks for standalone stories.

Hooks: Start new topics with strong statements or questions ("The biggest mistake I made was...").
Pacing: Leave tiny pauses between topics. This helps the AI understand where one thought ends and another begins.

Scale your production and maintain brand consistency.

Bulk Archives: Use the Desktop App to process terabytes of client archives. It utilizes local hardware, saving you significantly on cloud processing costs (1x token rate vs 3x).
Client Presets: Don't manually configure every video. Create a Style Config for each client saving their:
- Specific Font & Colors
- Logo/Watermark (with Chroma Key transparency)
- Preferred Animation Style
Chroma Key Logos: If your client has a video intro or animated logo on a green screen, use the Remove Background feature in Configs.

Video Types: Always select the direct Video Type (e.g., Conversation vs. Vlog). This changes the backend tracking logic entirely and prevents "shaky" camera moves on static podcast shots.

Platform	Recommended Length	Strategy
TikTok	15 - 45s	Fast pacing, heavy subtitles, strong visual hook
Shorts	30 - 60s	Slightly longer storytelling, loopable endings
Reels	15 - 30s	Trending audio focus, aesthetic visuals

Boosta defaults to finding the "sweet spot" (15-60s) for all platforms.
