## FAQ

### What is the purpose of a Static Background video?

It creates a short video organized around one still backdrop while the foreground message, subject, captions, or narration carries the movement. Choose a background with enough contrast and space for the content you want viewers to notice.

### How should I plan the foreground for a Static Background?

Describe the foreground subject, text-safe area, hierarchy, and intended action in the prompt. Keep the static backdrop visually quiet where the message needs room, and make sure the main subject does not blend into it.

### How do captions and music fit a Static Background video?

Use captions to support spoken words or essential context, and choose music that adds mood without distracting from the fixed composition. Check contrast, line breaks, volume, and the selected aspect ratio in Studio.

### What should I review before sharing a Static Background video?

Check the backdrop, foreground placement, text-safe area, voice, captions, music, and crop at the final frame. Use a background image or design that you own or are licensed to publish.

### How do I direct the look of a Static Background video?

Name subject, action, setting, camera distance, lighting, and palette in the brief. Check that the static backdrop leaves enough contrast and space for the foreground content once the project is in Listnr Studio.

### Can I add background music to Static Background?

Music is optional. If you add a bed, keep it under the voice so the message still lands on mute, and use a track you are allowed to publish. Skip a bed if speech, ASMR texture, or classroom instruction needs the mix dry. Review that choice on the Static Background timeline in Listnr Studio.
