Why it lands
The reveal is the story.
A screenshot shows the ending. Video lets the viewer wait for it. Typing dots, read states, reactions, and pauses turn a static exchange into a scene.
No screen recording
Render a clean file directly from the scene.
Pacing you can feel
Tune delays, speed, typing, and reactions.
One scene, every cut
Switch formats without rebuilding the chat.
Pick the surface
Make it look like the app in the story.
