Algo Trading Sprint: Event Recap

Turn raw footage from BYTE’s Algo Trading Sprint into a polished 45 to 60 second vertical event recap. Make deliberate editorial decisions about what matters, what to cut, what to emphasise, how the edit flows, and what feeling viewers should leave with.

Core Requirements

  • Create a compelling visual narrative by selecting, structuring, and pacing footage, not merely assembling clips.
  • Use music, sound design, typography, and visual treatment to strengthen the story. Keep the result professional and suitable for BYTE social media.
  • The supplied event footage must remain the primary visual source. External footage must not replace it. Supporting royalty-free music, sound effects, fonts, textures, and official BYTE/Algo Trading Sprint assets are allowed.
  • Duration: 45 to 60 seconds. Format: vertical 9:16. Recommended export: MP4 at 1080 × 1920 or higher.
  • Keep on-screen text purposeful and readable, use BYTE branding without overpowering the footage, and use transitions only when they help the rhythm or narrative.
  • Do not use a pre-made video template as the main structure of the edit.
