Choose short sections, avoid chopping away important qualifiers, and explain what part of the answer you are responding to.

What this format is for

Interview reactions are easier to follow when each comment stays attached to the exact statement being discussed.

The source should help viewers understand what prompted your response, but it should not replace your response. A strong news reaction gives people a reason to watch your version: explanation, context, critique, experience, humour or a clearly stated opinion.

How to make it in KIPZO

Choose short sections, avoid chopping away important qualifiers, and explain what part of the answer you are responding to.

Open KIPZO Shorts and choose the News React Builder. Bring in the story or source you want to discuss, connect your camera and microphone where needed, arrange the source so the key information remains readable, and record your response. Review the finished recording before downloading or publishing it.

KIPZO tip: Build the video around one clear question or angle. That makes the title, source placement and commentary much easier to keep focused.

Make the reaction useful instead of just repeating the story

Read beyond the headline before recording. Note the publisher, date and key detail you are reacting to. If the story is developing, say what is known at the time of recording and be prepared to correct or update the video later.

For commentary, identify the exact sentence, claim, clip or update that triggered your response. This keeps the video specific and makes it easier for viewers to distinguish the source from your interpretation.

Layout and recording tips

On a vertical Short, keep the headline and important names away from the very top and bottom edges where platform controls can cover them. Keep your host window large enough to read facial reactions but small enough that it does not hide the source.

On longer landscape videos, you have more room for an article-first layout, side-by-side commentary or a larger presenter. Whichever format you use, check the recorded output rather than relying only on the live preview.
