How to use it

Enter the niche, audience and pain point before writing the script. A useful hook should name the viewer, expose the problem and promise a specific payoff in the first two seconds. After generating ideas, keep the hook that matches footage you can actually show.

Static examples

Example short-form hooks

These examples show the kind of first drafts the tool is built to create. Rewrite them so they match your footage, proof and voice.

Fitness coach for busy founders

  • Hook: "If your calendar kills every workout, try this 12-minute reset before lunch."
  • Caption angle: "No gym, no perfect routine, just the minimum workout that keeps momentum."
  • CTA: "Save this before your next packed workday."

Ecommerce owner testing product ads

  • Hook: "Your product page already has the video ad script. You are just not using it yet."
  • Caption angle: "Turn one product benefit into three short ad angles before buying more traffic."
  • CTA: "Test one product angle before you rewrite the whole offer."

Creator editing spoken Shorts

  • Hook: "If captions take longer than the actual edit, your workflow is backwards."
  • Caption angle: "Start with the spoken hook, then polish captions only where the viewer needs help."
  • CTA: "Run one clip through the workflow and compare cleanup time."

What makes a video hook better?

Keep

  • Specific viewer: creator, founder, ecommerce owner or editor.
  • Specific pain: slow captions, weak ad angle, no time to film or no clear topic.
  • Visible proof: a screen recording, before/after clip, dashboard or finished export.

Cut

  • Generic openings like "Do you want to grow faster?"
  • Claims you cannot show in the first few seconds.
  • Hooks that require too much context before the viewer understands the payoff.
