What you'll make
A 9:16 reel where you stay the base and real screens, photos and clips land around you, timed to your words. You pick the look of each section from a short menu.

You stay the base
Your talking head runs the whole reel. No cutting away to a white slide, no split screen of you and a logo. Overlays land on top of you, then leave.
That one rule is why these reels feel hand-edited. People keep your face and your energy, and the screens show up the moment you name them.
What every reel gets
Step labels ~ A label clicks in on "step one", then the visual follows your sentence.
Highlighter titles ~ Under your chin or stacked beside your head, only on the phrase worth remembering.
Real cards ~ Browser screenshots, screen recordings, a typing prompt, a before/after split, a phone scrolling your guide.
Captions ~ Two or three words at a time. They keep running under titles and skip the words a title already says.
A full sound pass ~ Clicks, pops and swooshes placed for you, ducked under your voice, finished at Instagram loudness.
