Video Hook Writer — Ten Openings
One video idea in; ten opening lines out, each built on a different angle — a question, a claim, a story, a contradiction, a demonstration, a stake and four more — with the shot it opens on, the viewer it suits, its spoken length counted here, and the honest reason it might not work.
This is a cloud tool. The idea you type is sent to the model. It is the premise of a video you are about to publish; there is rarely anything private in it. Nothing is stored by us; the call is counted against your month’s allowance — 10 free, 300 on Pro. How the AI tools handle data.
Tips
- Ten angles, fixed and named, is the point. Asking for "ten hooks" gets eight rewordings of one; asking for a question, a claim, a story, a contradiction, a demonstration, a stake, a number, a confession, a callout and a cold open gets ten different openings you can choose between.
- The spoken length is counted in your browser from the words, at about two and a half words a second. Fifteen seconds is roughly thirty-five words — anything longer is a hook you will cut while filming.
- Read why_it_might_fail before you pick. Every hook has a way of going wrong, and the tool is told never to answer "none"; the one with the risk you can live with is usually the one to film.
- Strength is the model’s honest fit between the angle and your idea. A Number hook on an idea with no numbers in it comes back marked low, which tells you something about the brief as much as the hook.
- Film two. The first fifteen seconds are cheap to shoot twice and the retention graph will tell you which one worked.
Frequently asked questions
Are these clickbait?
They are told not to be: a hook may not promise what the brief does not support, and where a claim outruns the facts the tool is told to shrink the claim and flag it. A hook that makes a true promise vividly is the job; one that makes a false promise loudly is how a channel loses the audience it just bought.
Why ten and not five?
Because the tenth is often the one you would never have written. Five comes back safe; ten forces the angles you avoid — the confession, the callout, the cold open — and one of those is usually better than your usual opening.
Can I use one for a Short?
Pick "A Short, Reel or TikTok" and every hook comes back short enough to say in three seconds, because the fifteen-second version does not survive that format.
