Vlog hook prompts

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

No intro, no logo, no "hey guys".

Open my vlog with this. Say what today is about in the first sentence.
Keep the hook under 5 seconds, then go straight into setting off, b-roll and a line.
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 (setting off, b-roll and a line) keeps the video moving after a strong open.
• 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 setting off, b-roll and a line, no pause."

FAQ

How long should the hook be on a vlog? About 5 seconds, from the structure we use for this format. By then the video should already be into setting off, b-roll and a line.

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.
