Short-form AI video needs a strong first second. The hook should tell the viewer what changed, why it matters, or what they are about to see.
TL;DR
- Use 9:16 framing for Shorts, Reels, and TikTok.
- Start with the result, problem, transformation, or surprising demo.
- Leave negative space for captions.
- Use the main generator after choosing a hook to create the full video prompt.
