Sample output

**30s Skippable Pre-Roll — Bookkeeping software for freelancers | Goal: Click**

[0–5s — open on hands buried in crumpled receipts]
VO: "If you're a freelancer who dreads tax season, watch this — it'll save you a weekend."
[Text on screen: TAX SEASON, SOLVED]

[5–25s — screen recording, receipt photographed, auto-categorized in real time]
VO: "Snap a photo of any receipt and Tallyo files it for you — categorized, matched to the right client, ready for your accountant. No spreadsheets. No shoebox."
[Cut to dashboard] "Last year, freelancers using Tallyo saved an average of nine hours every single month."
[Text on screen: 9 HRS SAVED / MONTH]

[25–30s — clean logo end-card]
VO: "Stop doing books at midnight. Try Tallyo free for 30 days — link below."
[Text on screen: TALLYO · 30 DAYS FREE · tallyo.com]

*Note: the demo moment (receipt → filed in seconds) lands before the typical skip window closes, so even skippers see the core value.*
