Put a bold caption on the hook.
Before you cut, list the 3 strongest opening moments in my footage with timestamps so I can pick one.Why these settings
- People typically decide to stay or scroll in the first few seconds, so the hook gets its own instruction.
- Saying what comes next (process clips, all partial) keeps the video moving after a strong open.
- An example of this kind of hook is "she asked for her grandmother's garden".
- Asking for options with timestamps lets you choose the opening yourself.
Fixes
- Hook starts slow. "Start on the frame where the movement begins."
- Wrong moment. "Use the clip at 2:14 as the hook instead."
- The video drags after the hook. "Cut straight from the hook into process clips, all partial, no pause."
FAQ
How long should the hook be on a commission reveal video? About 3 seconds, from the structure we use for this format. By then the video should already be into process clips, all partial.
Can Vyra pick the hook for me? Yes. Ask for the strongest opening clip. Ask for three options with timestamps if you want to choose.
