Frequently asked questions
How is a Reel hook different from a YouTube video hook?+
Reels have almost no runway — you have roughly 1-3 seconds before someone swipes away, versus 10-15 seconds on YouTube. The hook needs to land immediately, often paired with on-screen text, not just spoken.
Should the hook be spoken, on-screen text, or both?+
Both when possible — many viewers watch with sound off, so pairing the spoken hook with matching on-screen text maximizes how many people actually catch it.
