Initial Assessment

初始评估

  1. Check for 
    app-marketing-context.md
    — read for app, audience, and core value
  2. Ask for the App ID and platform(s) — iOS, Android, or both
  3. Ask if they have existing screen recordings or need to capture fresh
  4. Ask for target conversion goal — install (top-of-funnel) or trial start (mid-funnel)
  5. Ask for localization scope — English only, or which markets
  1. 检查
    app-marketing-context.md
    文件——从中了解应用、受众和核心价值
  2. 询问App ID和平台——iOS、Android或两者皆有
  3. 询问用户是否有现有屏幕录制素材，还是需要重新录制
  4. 询问目标转化目标——安装（漏斗顶部）或试用启动（漏斗中部）
  5. 询问本地化范围——仅英文，还是特定市场

The 30-Second Video Structure

30秒视频结构

Use this beat-by-beat template (works for both platforms with adjustments):
TimeBeatiOS RulePlay Rule
0:00–0:02Hook — show the outcome, not the appIn-app footage onlyCan use logo/intro, max 3s
0:02–0:08Problem framing — text overlay states the painText on app footageCan cut to lifestyle b-roll
0:08–0:20Core feature demo — the "how it works" walkthroughReal screen recording, sped up 1.25–1.5× OKSame
0:20–0:26Social proof / breadth — quick cuts of other features, ratings, resultsMust be in-app screensCan show review screenshots
0:26–0:30Resolution + CTA frameShow outcome state, no "Download Now" CTA (Apple rejects)"Get it free" CTA OK
Poster frame choice (iOS): must be visually striking, no text-heavy. The 0:00 frame is what 80% of users see.
使用以下逐段模板（根据平台调整后适用于两者）：
时间环节iOS规则Play Store规则
0:00–0:02钩子——展示使用成果，而非应用本身仅使用应用内画面可使用logo/片头，最长3秒
0:02–0:08问题呈现——文字叠加层说明用户痛点在应用画面上添加文字可切换至生活场景B Roll
0:08–0:20核心功能演示——“操作流程”展示真实屏幕录制，可加速1.25–1.5倍与iOS规则一致
0:20–0:26社交证明/功能广度——快速切换其他功能、评分、成果画面必须为应用内屏幕内容可展示评论截图
0:26–0:30成果呈现+CTA帧展示最终使用状态，不得添加“立即下载”类CTA（Apple会拒绝）可添加“免费获取”类CTA
iOS海报帧选择：必须视觉冲击力强，避免文字过多。0:00帧是80%用户会看到的画面。

Script Output Format

POSTER FRAME: <description of frame 0>

00:00–00:02  HOOK

PRODUCTION NOTES:
  - Record on <device model>, <iOS version>
  - Demo account state: <what data should be loaded>
  - Speed adjustments: <where to speed up>

3-Variant Strategy (iOS)

三版本策略（iOS）

Apple lets you upload 3 App Previews. Don't make 3 of the same — diversify by hook:
VariantHook angleWhen iOS shows it
A — OutcomeResult-led ("Sleep better in 7 days")Default first preview
B — DemoFeature walkthrough — pure UXSecond
C — Social proofNumbers, results, testimonials in-appThird
User can reorder. Default to Outcome first unless category demands demo (e.g. complex tools).
Apple允许上传3条App Preview视频，请勿制作3条相同内容的视频——需按钩子角度差异化：
版本钩子角度iOS默认展示顺序
A — 成果导向以结果为核心（如“7天改善睡眠”）第一条默认预览视频
B — 功能演示纯UX功能流程展示第二条
C — 社交证明应用内的数字数据、成果、用户评价第三条
用户可调整顺序。除非是复杂工具类应用，否则默认优先使用成果导向版本。

Production Checklist

制作检查清单

Before submission:
  • Captured at native device resolution
  • No "Download Now", "Available on App Store", or app icon overlays (Apple guideline 2.3.10)
  • No marketing-only intro card (Apple) — Play Store OK
  • Audio either purposeful with captions, or removed entirely
  • Poster frame doesn't show text being typed mid-word
  • Tested how it looks in search results card (small) and product page (large)
  • Each variant uploaded to its own slot (don't replace, add)
  • Localized variants for at least top 3 markets if international
提交前需确认：
  • 以原生设备分辨率录制
  • 无“立即下载”“App Store有售”或应用图标叠加层（Apple指南2.3.10）
  • 无纯营销片头（Apple）——Play Store允许
  • 音频要么是带字幕的有效内容，要么完全移除
  • 海报帧不显示正在输入的文字
  • 测试在搜索结果卡片（小尺寸）和产品页（大尺寸）中的显示效果
  • 每个版本上传至独立插槽（请勿替换，直接添加）
  • 若面向国际市场，至少为Top3市场制作本地化版本

Common Rejection Reasons (Apple)

常见拒审原因（Apple）

IssueFix
Real people / hands shownStrip them — in-app footage only
Marketing logo/intro cardRemove first 1–2 seconds
"Download" CTA at endReplace with outcome state
Footage doesn't match current app versionRe-record after each major UI change
Audio narration without captionsAdd burned-in captions or remove audio
问题修复方案
出现真人/手部画面删除相关内容——仅保留应用内画面
包含营销logo/片头删除开头1–2秒内容
结尾有“下载”类CTA替换为成果展示画面
画面与当前应用版本不符每次重大UI更新后重新录制
有旁白但无字幕添加内嵌字幕或移除音频

Localization Strategy

本地化策略

  • Tier 1 (English, Japanese, German, French, Spanish, Chinese): localize text overlays + re-record with localized in-app strings
  • Tier 2 (other top-grossing markets): localize text overlays only, keep in-app footage in English if app is partially localized
  • Tier 3: skip — single global video
Cost-benefit: a localized video typically lifts conversion 8–15% in that market vs the default English video.
  • Tier 1（英文、日文、德文、法文、西班牙文、中文）：本地化文字叠加层 + 使用本地化应用字符串重新录制画面
  • Tier 2（其他高收入市场）：仅本地化文字叠加层，若应用仅部分本地化，可保留英文应用内画面
  • Tier 3：跳过——使用单一全球通用视频
成本收益：本地化视频通常能使对应市场的转化率比默认英文视频提升8–15%。

A/B Testing

A/B测试

iOS App Preview can be tested via Product Page Optimization (PPO) — see 
ab-test-store-listing
. Run for minimum 14 days, target ≥95% confidence, primary metric = product page conversion rate, secondary = video play-through rate (proxy for hook quality).
iOS App Preview可通过Product Page Optimization (PPO) 进行测试——参考
ab-test-store-listing
。测试时长至少14天，目标置信度≥95%，核心指标为产品页转化率，次要指标为视频播放完成率（衡量钩子质量的代理指标）。
