# Packed chart posted as a 5-second video

A family and pets format, measured November 8, 2026 by Volume. https://tryvolume.app/working/family-and-pets/packed-chart-posted-as-a-5-second-video

Cram a whole reference chart or grid into one static frame and post it as a very short video so viewers have to pause, replay or save to read it. It worked for 3 accounts, with a median of 18x their usual reach. Type: Editing trick. Seen as: Video.

## Why it works

The chart takes longer to read than the clip runs, so viewers loop or save. Owners also look for their own pet or symptom and comment (the age-vs-human chart, the 10-panel stress chart, the gecko troubleshooting charts).

## How to make it

1. Pick a topic with 5-10 parts: symptoms, ages, anatomy, or stressors.
2. Lay it all out in one dense, labeled frame.
3. Export it as a 5-10 second video with no motion.
4. Ask viewers to find their own row and comment.

## How this is measured

- Every post is compared with its own account's usual reach, not with other accounts. "14x their usual" means the post got 14 times the median views of that account's recent posts.
- TikTok videos and Instagram Reels are measured on views. Instagram carousels have no view count, so they are measured on likes against the account's usual likes, and say so.
- A post makes the library at 2x its account's usual or more. A format is a repeatable move (what is said or shown, or how it is edited) that several accounts used in breakout posts. It is listed here once it worked for 3 or more different accounts.
- Formats rank on how many accounts they worked for and how far above usual, damped so a fluke on one tiny account cannot outrank a format that worked for ten.
