ronda — TikTok "Ticket Avalanche"

Faceless problem→demo→payoff ad. AI b-roll dramatizes the pain; the real product screen-recording is the proof; narration via voiceover + on-screen text. Everything below is a working preview — pick the winning hook, confirm the demo integration.

0 · FINAL STITCH (all 4 beats) 22.8s · v1 rough

final.mp4

Hook → Agitate → Demo → End-card, fade transitions. No captions / VO / music yet (that's the CapCut or next ffmpeg pass). Known polish: demo beat still has empty emerald below the card — next fix crops the demo to a taller region to fill the frame.

1 · Hook candidates (AI b-roll, 9:16)

Veo 3.1 Fast SELECTED

seed 226322 · 8s · real laptop, on-screen kanban, hand-on-head overwhelmed beat. Cards stay blank → real ticket labels overlaid in edit.

Kling 3.0 Pro REJECTED

Striking, but rendered a literal paper tower off the keyboard — wrong metaphor for "on-screen ticket pile."

2 · All four beats

BEAT 1 · Hook Veo

Ticket avalanche on-screen, overwhelmed. (Same clip as above.)

BEAT 2 · Agitate Veo · new

Dev lifts hands off keyboard in defeat, board overflowing. ~4s.

BEAT 3 · Demo v2 — fixed

Bigger card pushed up, zoom biased to the chat/action panel, rounder corners. Real ronda-demo.mp4 on emerald canvas, Ken Burns push. ~14.6s.

BEAT 4 · Payoff / CTA end-card

Emerald canvas, wordmark, CTA. Pure ffmpeg, no AI. ~4s.

Raw screen-recording (source)

1280×650 landscape, 20.5s, no audio. Unprocessed input, for reference.

3 · Full script (≈25–30s)

BEAT 1 · HOOK (0–4s) · AI b-roll ✓

Dev at desk, on-screen kanban overflows with blank cards, posture → overwhelmed. Overlaid ticket labels: "CEO: change the hero copy" · "Marketing: add those 5 landing pages" · "Growth: set up A/B testing" · "Design: fix this typo" · "PM: swap the CTA button". Caption: "One change? Sure. Forty 'quick' changes? 💀"

BEAT 2 · AGITATE (4–7s) · to generate

Same dev buried under the pile. Caption: "None of it's hard. All of it's your whole week."

BEAT 3 · DEMO (7–22s) · real screen-recording ✓

The composited beat above. VO carries it: type the change in plain English → ronda ships a PR → you review.

BEAT 4 · PAYOFF + CTA (22–26s)

Caption: "Turn the ticket pile into one-line asks." CTA: "Try ronda free → link in bio." End card: lowercase ronda wordmark on emerald.
