Aim for five words or fewer on the first frame. Lowercase reads more native than Title Case.
TikTok decides whether to push a video within the first moments of playback. Watch time is the ranking signal. If the hook does not land, nothing after it matters.
The seven patterns here come from videos that visibly performed. Curiosity gaps, POV framing, wrong-habit reveals, the skeptic who turns. We fill them in for your niche.
Write the outcome into frame one. Odd numbers beat round ones. Specific timeframes beat fast. Dollar amounts beat cheap.
| Angle | What it does | Her reaction |
|---|---|---|
| Curiosity gap | Open a loop the viewer has to close. | Smirk, Point-at-Text, Deadpan Stare |
| POV | Put the viewer inside the scene. | Deadpan Stare, Mid-Task Glance-Up |
| Secret | You are letting them in on something. | Smirk, Hand-Over-Mouth |
| Warning | Tell them they are doing it wrong. | Head-Shake, Point-at-Text |
| Skeptic converted | Doubt first, then the turn. | Side-Eye, Nod-Along |
| Transformation | Show the before and the after. | Jaw-Drop, Speed-Shock |
| Relatable | Name the feeling they already have. | Crying Girl, Head-Shake |
The reaction column is how our director skill casts the shot. A curiosity hook wants a smirk, a warning wants a head shake.
A hook is one line. ClipUGC does the rest: an AI influencer says it to camera, your app footage plays, the hook sits on frame one. About 3 minutes.

Yes. The generator runs in your browser and nothing is sent anywhere. You only sign up if you want to turn a hook into a video.
Yes. Run them with human creators, with AI influencers, or as plain captions. They are patterns, not our property.
Specificity and speed. Show the outcome in the first frame, use concrete numbers, and sound like a person rather than a brand. Five words beats ten.
From the ugc-director skill that ships with our CLI. It is the same library our own AI influencer videos are written from, and it is public on GitHub.
Two or three per video. A hook is the cheapest thing to change, so write several and keep the one that holds people past the first second.
Everything else is answered on the main FAQ.
Pick a hook, describe a person, and watch her say it with your app on screen. Free credits cover the first one.
