Does a top 10 list fit in a short video?

Countdowns are made for short video: the viewer stays to see number one. The catch is time. Ten items in 90 seconds, the longest Faceless video, leaves about nine seconds and 22 words each, barely a name and a reason. Two better shapes: cut it to a top 5 for 60 seconds, about 30 words per item, or split the 10 into two parts and end part one on number 6. Faceless writes the countdown narration from your list, draws a picture for each item, times captions to every word and renders a 9:16 video. If your list comes from someone else's article, rank in your own words and credit the source. A video costs 20 credits, and plans start at $29/month on the Starter plan.

How do I turn a top 10 list into a video?

1

Choose top 5 or two parts

For one video, keep your five strongest items at 60 seconds. To keep all ten, make two videos of five and end part one with "numbers 5 to 1 in part two".

2

Give each item one reason

Write the item and one sentence on why it ranks there, about 25 to 30 words each. Lead with number 5 and save the item people will argue about for number 1.

3

Paste the list and pick a length

Paste it into the box, then choose a visual style, a narrator voice, the language and 30 to 60 or 60 to 90 seconds to match the item count.

4

Keep your ranking in order

On the Posting step, turn on Approve each script first. You can check the order and paste your exact countdown, and it is narrated as approved. Nothing is made or charged until you approve.

5

Review and post the parts in order

Check each picture matches its item in the editor, then post to YouTube, TikTok or Instagram. The series can keep making new countdowns on your topic, or you can pause it after one.

You can at 90 seconds, but each item gets about nine seconds, enough for a name and half a reason. Most countdowns hold better as a top 5 in 60 seconds or as a top 10 split into two parts.
Start at the bottom and count up to number 1, so viewers stay to the end. Tease number 1 in the first line, such as "number 1 surprised me", to give them a reason to stay.
Use it as research, not as the script. Make your own ranking with your own reasons, and credit the article in the description if it gave you the idea. Copying its text and order closely can infringe the writer's copyright.
About 150 spoken words make 60 seconds, so a top 5 gives roughly 30 words per item, or 25 if you add an opening hook. That is a name and one clear reason each.
Each video in the Storyboard style costs 20 credits, so a top 10 in two parts costs twice that. Plans start at $29/month, and credit packs start at $10 for 100 credits.
