POV video hook prompts

The hook is the first beat on our POV video page. Vyra has the transcript and a description of every scene, so you can point at the moment by what's in it.

Minimal:

Find the strongest opening moment in my footage and start my POV video with it.

Standard:

Open my POV video with this. "POV: you're the new hire and it's your first standup"
Keep the hook under 1 second, then go straight into the scene, talking to the lens.
No intro, no logo, no "hey guys".

Full:

Open my POV video with this. "POV: you're the new hire and it's your first standup"
Keep the hook under 1 second, then go straight into the scene, talking to the lens.
No intro, no logo, no "hey guys".
Put a bold caption on the hook line.
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 (the scene, talking to the lens) keeps the video moving after a strong open.
• An example of this kind of hook is "POV: you're the new hire and it's your first standup".
• Asking for options with timestamps lets you choose the opening yourself.

Fixes

• Hook starts late. "Cut the breath and the half second before I start talking."
• Wrong moment. "Use the clip at 2:14 as the hook instead."
• The video drags after the hook. "Cut straight from the hook into the scene, talking to the lens, no pause."

FAQ

How long should the hook be on a POV video? About 1 second, from the structure we use for this format. By then the video should already be into the scene, talking to the lens.

Can Vyra pick the hook for me? Yes. Ask for the strongest opening line. Ask for three options with timestamps if you want to choose.
