Hook too slow · 0:09
Viewers are swiping away in the first 3 seconds. Your opening frame doesn't create immediate curiosity or visual contrast.
  • Start mid-action, not with an intro
  • Add on-screen text in the first frame
  • Open with your most surprising moment
Pacing drags · 0:20
A 4-second static shot with no cut or movement is causing a visible drop. Shorts viewers expect a cut or new stimulus every 2–3 seconds.
  • Cut to a new angle or clip here
  • Add a zoom-in or motion graphic
  • Use background music tempo as your cut guide
No clear CTA · 0:44
Viewers who made it this far have no reason to follow or engage. The ending fades without directing the viewer to any action.
  • Add a text overlay: "Follow for more"
  • End on a question to drive comments
  • Loop the ending back to the hook visually
