What vertical videos are and how many a business needs

Vertical videos for business are short 9:16 clips published in batches to Shorts, Reels and TikTok: script, generation, voiceover and editing are done for each language and platform.

01

What vertical videos are

Vertical videos are short 9:16 clips for Shorts, Reels and TikTok. For business they are produced in batches of 100 videos a month and up, because the platforms' algorithms need a steady stream of publications rather than the occasional lucky clip.

Production covers the whole cycle: brief, scripts with hooks, video generation, voiceover, music, subtitles, editing and publishing. The client gets a finished batch and a metrics report.

How many vertical videos a business needs, and why in batches

The minimum order is 100 videos a month. That number is not arbitrary: platforms test every publication on a small audience, and finding the combinations that work takes enough attempts. A hundred videos show which scripts and formats hold viewers, and the next batch is built on them.

Vertical videos on Shorts, Reels and TikTok: what differs

Videos go out to YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels and TikTok. Material is adapted for each platform separately: length, pace, captions, safe zones and the position of the call to action all differ, so the same clip does not work everywhere as it is.

  • Shorts: up to 60 seconds, often sends the viewer to the channel or site
  • Reels: short clips built around holding the first seconds
  • TikTok: dynamic delivery, fast editing, captions in frame

How the process looks

The process repeats from batch to batch: brief, scripts, production, approval of a pilot batch, publishing and reporting. Approval sits mid-cycle for a reason: the client signs off on the delivery in the first videos, and scaling then runs without stopping for edits halfway through a batch.

  • brief: product, market, languages and geos, platforms, volume, tone and topics to avoid
  • scripts: hooks, structure and calls to action for the niche and language
  • production: video, voiceover, music, subtitles, editing
  • approval: pilot batch and revisions
  • publishing: going live, plus mass posting by geo
  • reporting: platform metrics for every batch

What we need from the client, and what stays with them

To start, a product, a market and a list of platforms are enough. Production takes care of the rest. Music and voiceover are created in-house, no third-party tracks end up in the videos, and all material including the rights is handed to the client. If a video fails platform moderation, it is redone at the vendor's cost.

frequently asked

01How many vertical videos does a business need?
A hundred videos a month. Fewer makes no sense: that volume is what it takes for the platforms' algorithms to test enough scripts and find the combinations that work.
02How much does vertical video production cost?
The price depends on monthly volume, format and platforms: the bigger the batch, the lower the cost per video. A quote is calculated for a specific volume after the brief.
03Which platforms are supported?
All three vertical feeds. The material is adapted for each of them separately: length, pace, captions and safe zones.
04Do we need filming?
No. Videos are produced with AI: video generation, voiceover and editing. No shoot day and no location.
05Who owns the rights to the videos?
The client. All material is handed over with the rights; music and voiceover are created in-house.
