How to make a Tier List video in Jupitrr

Step-by-step guide

1. 1

   Choose Tier List when you upload

   In Set up your video, set Format to Tier List, then select Start Editing.

   Tier List takes over the screen, so Add B-roll Automatically switches off when you pick it.

   

2. 2

   Or turn it on in the editor

   For a video that is already open, select Formats, choose Tier List and confirm with Turn on Tier List.

   The confirmation lists what will change: B-roll clips and text overlays added automatically at upload are removed, clips you added yourself stay, and emojis and transitions are switched off (you can switch them back on). If another format is on, the button reads Switch format; that format is turned off and its settings are kept.

   

3. 3

   Let Jupitrr build the board

   Jupitrr reads your transcript and shows Building your tier list while it finds the tiers and places each item. When it finishes you see Tier list ready: N items found.

   The tiers follow your own words. If you grade with letters, the board uses S to D; if you say things like "top tier" or "waste of time", those become the tier names. Your topic becomes the hook, for example 📊 Tier List on parts of video script.

   If nothing in the video is ranked, you'll see This doesn't look like a tier list video. You can still add items yourself.

   

4. 4

   Check each item

   Under Items, every entry has a name, a tier and an optional picture. Click an item to jump to the moment it appears, rename it, or pick a different tier from its menu.

   Remove item deletes an entry. Add item at playhead adds a new item in the top tier at the current moment. Items appear on the board in the order you mention them.

   

5. 5

   Add pictures to items

   Select Auto Images to find a picture for each item that doesn't have one, or click the picture button on an item to choose one yourself.

   Auto Images fills up to 12 items at a time and turns on Images only, which shows pictures without names because your subtitles already say them.

   The picture window searches web images for the item name; you can change the search, Upload your own image (up to 5 MB) or Remove image.

   

6. 6

   Rename, recolour, add or remove tiers

   Open Edit tiers at the bottom of the panel. Click a colour to change it, type to rename a tier, use × to remove one or Add tier to add one.

   A board can have between 2 and 6 tiers.

   

7. 7

   Style the board

   Use List style to set the Layout (Overlay or Split) and size (S, M or L), then fine-tune how the board and items look.

   • Overlay places the board over your video. Set its Y position and Style (Solid or See-through).
   • Split gives the board its own half of the frame. Choose Position (Top or Bottom) and Video crop to keep your face in frame. Switching to Split also moves the hook and subtitles to suit the layout.
   • Tier labels: Square boxes or one solid Column.
   • Reveal Items Animation: each item pops up large as you mention it, then drops into its tier. Set its size and Reveal Y position, or switch it off so items simply appear.
   • Images only hides item names and shows pictures.

   

8. 8

   Adjust timing on the timeline

   Each item is a bar on the Tier List lane of the timeline; drag or trim it to change when the item appears. With the Overlay layout, the Tier board lane sets when the board is on screen.

   

9. 9

   Edit the hook, subtitles and B-roll

   The rest of the edit works as usual. Change the hook in Text, the subtitles in Subtitles and the music in Sound. To add B-roll, select words in B-rolls → Highlight Placement.

   With the Overlay layout, the hook appears where the subtitles normally sit and the subtitles hide while it is on screen.

10. 10

    Switch or remove the format

    Select Change Format. Choose another format and confirm with Switch format, or choose Remove format.

    Your items, tiers and style are kept, so switching back to Tier List restores the board. Your subtitles, hook and music are not affected.

    

Limits and requirements

• Not available for landscape videos.
• Jupitrr lists only items you give a clear verdict on, up to 30 per video.
• The reveal animation is one setting for the whole board, not per item.
• Items are ordered by when you mention them; there is no manual reordering.
• Re-detect rebuilds the items and tiers from your transcript, replacing any changes you made to them.
• Removing Tier List doesn't bring back the automatic B-roll and text overlays it removed. Add B-roll again from B-rolls if you need it.
