Why Video Hooks Matter for Retention
The first 3 seconds of your video determine whether viewers stay or scroll. Studies show that 65% of viewers decide within the first 3 seconds. A strong hook creates curiosity, triggers emotion, or makes a bold promise that compels viewers to watch. Our AI analyzes patterns from millions of viral videos to generate hooks that have proven engagement patterns. By using data-driven hooks instead of generic intros, creators typically see 40-60% improvements in watch time and completion rates.
