The median gap between cuts is 17.36 seconds. This means shots hold on the speaker for extended periods rather than cutting rapidly between angles or b-roll. The entire 376-second video maintains this patient pacing throughout.

100% of frames have a face on screen. There are no cutaways to product screens, text cards, or b-roll footage. The launch video is entirely direct-to-camera address with the speaker visible from start to finish.

Only 5% of frames are dark. The lighting stays consistent and bright across the entire video, avoiding moody shadows or dramatic contrast. This keeps the focus on the speaker without visual distraction from shifting exposure.

The video runs 376 seconds, just over six minutes. This length allows for extended explanation without rushing, matching the slow cutting pace that holds shots for 17 seconds at a time.

Keep a face on screen for the entire duration, cut every 17 seconds or slower, and maintain bright consistent lighting with minimal dark frames. The style prioritizes sustained eye contact over visual variety or editing tricks.
