Step-by-step: create a motivational video with Keyvello

1) Develop a precise prompt

Write a one-sentence hook, one-line story arc, and a final CTA in the prompt to Keyvello; example: "Hook: 'Beat burnout in 30 seconds.' Story: 'Morning routine of three habits that reclaim energy.' CTA: 'Try one habit today and comment below.'"

Specify tone, pacing, and target platform in the prompt by adding tags such as "tone: inspiring, pace: quick, platform: TikTok" to ensure matching visuals and length.

2) Choose the right template

Select Viral Wisdom for quick quote-driven scenes, AI Stories for narrated transformation arcs, or Fake Texts to simulate message threads that reveal a lesson.

Pick Split Screen for before/after comparisons and Stick Animation for humorous habit demonstrations to increase shareability.

3) Customize visuals and audio

Set aspect ratio to 9:16 for vertical platforms and 16:9 for cross-platform repurposing, and confirm scene durations so the total run time stays at 15–60 seconds.

Upload a trending audio clip or select Keyvello's recommended track and set the first 1–3 seconds for a strong audio hook to maximize completion rate.

Add readable captions using the subtitle editor and set font size to at least 28px for mobile legibility.

4) Generate and review

Click generate and expect a completed draft in under five minutes; review the draft and toggle scene order, text timing, and background intensity for clarity and retention.

Replace any low-contrast text with a high-contrast color and shorten on-screen sentences to 8–12 words to increase viewer reading speed.

5) Export and post

Export MP4 at 1080x1920 for vertical uploads, and include burned-in captions to ensure views on silent autoplay.

Schedule uploads using your social calendar and vary posting times by platform-specific recommendations below to collect data on best times.

Tips to increase viral potential on TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Reels

• Hook within 0–2 seconds: open with a bold statement or visual contrast to force a stop on scroll.
• Keep runtime 15–30 seconds for 60% higher completion rates on TikTok; use 45–60 seconds for deeper storytelling on YouTube Shorts when you want longer watch time.
• Use strong visual beats every 2–3 seconds to reset attention and reduce drop-off.
• End with a micro-CTA such as "Share this if you need it" to encourage engagement without a heavy ask.
• Test 3 variants per concept (different hook, different soundtrack, different thumbnail frame) and measure views, likes, and shares to determine the winning formula.

Platform-specific optimization

TikTok

Use 9:16 aspect ratio and vertical captions, include 3–7 trending hashtags mixing broad and niche terms, and post between 11:00–13:00 or 19:00–22:00 local time to capture peak engagement windows.

Pin a comment with your CTA to increase comment activity and reuse trending sounds within 24 hours of peak usage to ride native algorithm signals.

YouTube Shorts

Upload vertical 9:16 MP4, craft a searchable title with the phrase "motivational" and a keyword, and place a one-line description with timestamps or a short CTA to improve click-through in recommendations.

Include captions file (.srt) to boost accessibility and retention on YouTube's discovery surfaces.

Instagram Reels

Set aspect ratio to 9:16 but keep important visuals inside a 4:5 safe zone to avoid cropping in grid views, use 5–10 focused hashtags, and post between 17:00–19:00 on weekdays for higher initial impressions.

Use a cover image that reads clearly at small sizes and add a short, curiosity-driven caption to increase saves.

Examples of high-performing motivational short formats

• Micro-lesson sequence: 25-second Viral Wisdom clip showing three numbered habits with each habit on-screen for 6–8 seconds and a final CTA to try habit #2 today.
• Before/After transformation: 30–45 second Split Screen video comparing morning routine dos and don'ts with a text overlay that instructs one action per scene.
• Relatable micro-story: 40-second AI Stories narration of a setback, pivot, and result, paired with 1–2 line animated captions and a soft instrumental track for emotional buildup.
• Interactive thread: 20-second Fake Texts depicting a message exchange that ends with a poll-style CTA asking viewers which tip they’ll try.
