This is a single-station logging console. You are dealing with cover shots and call sheets, not a raw footage library. Extract 12 still frames daily. Unscouted slots are "blind": you must first assess color temperature, time of day, and on-screen subjects before calling the shot—only after processing do you see the actual "heat" (viewer engagement potential). Assign the cover shot or drag clips into slots 01–06 (HOOK, SPARK, TURN, CRUSH, FAKE, CLIFF) while adhering to the evening's constraints. Adjacent clips with matching colors and times require a straight cut; FAKE slots should cool down the tone, while CLIFF slots should ramp it up. Placing clips blindly results in point deductions when the board is locked. Once the board is locked, you can review the "rush" and pin the final result to the project wall. Inside the editing suite, you’ll also handle four-frame sequences, alignment, …
Every shipping app on the App Store has gone through the same decisions you're working through right now: which screenshot goes first, what caption sits over it, which device frame to show, what color the background should be. The 8 screenshots above are ShowMiRush's answers to those questions — they're public, they're real, and they made it through Apple's review.
What the numbers say: ShowMiRush runs a dark set where the background shifts from screenshot to screenshot (first shot #040404) — each image has to stand on its own, so the captions carry more of the story. The accent colour we picked up, #045444, is the one to reuse for badges, arrows and highlighted words if you borrow this look. Hit Use this style to open the editor with these exact colours and drop your own screenshot in.
Notice the first screenshot in particular. It's the one users see in search results and on the product page, and it's where most apps spend their best caption and tightest design. Look at the proportion of background to phone, where the text sits, what one thing the image is trying to communicate.
