Hook template

Steal this for your own video

Open on a split-screen: the top half shows the polished [after-version of your result], the bottom half shows the raw [before-version or original starting point] of the exact same [scene, subject, or moment], playing in sync so the viewer sees the gap instantly.

  • — Open on a split-screen: the top half shows the polished [fully renovated living room], the bottom half shows the raw [gutted, water-damaged starting point] of the exact same [room and camera angle], playing in sync so the viewer sees the gap instantly.
  • — Open on a split-screen: the top half shows the polished [studio-quality vocal mix], the bottom half shows the raw [phone-recorded voice memo] of the exact same [song chorus], playing in sync so the viewer sees the gap instantly.
  • — Open on a split-screen: the top half shows the polished [restaurant-style plated dish], the bottom half shows the raw [sad pile of ingredients cooked the usual way] of the exact same [chicken dinner], playing in sync so the viewer sees the gap instantly.

Transcript

Better created a Claude skill that will help you write these prompts which I'll give you for free at the end of the video. Paste that into art best. Select sea dance 2.5 and adjust the video quality to be the lowest you can to save you money and credits. You can always upscale it afterwards to ten eighty p once you've got the video you're happy with. Adjust the video duration to one second longer than the original video and this took us about seven attempts to get all of the clips that we needed for this scene. So if you comment a I, I'll send you that free Claude skill and a link to try on our list.
