Field Reference
Hook score (0–100)
A composite score for how hard the opening 5–10 seconds earns attention.| Range | What it means |
|---|---|
| 75–100 | Hook is doing real work — curiosity gap, identity signal, or pattern interrupt present |
| 50–74 | Serviceable hook — clear opening but missing a sharp pull mechanism |
| Below 50 | Weak hook — relies on existing audience loyalty; cold audiences will scroll |
Emotional arc
The emotional journey the viewer is taken through. Common values:| Arc | Structure | Best for |
|---|---|---|
pain → relief | Problem shown first, solution resolved at end | Products that fix something broken |
aspiration → pathway | Desire established, roadmap given, belief installed | Educational/coaching content |
curiosity → reveal | Question opened, answer withheld, payoff at end | Entertainment, explainers |
identity → belonging | ”People like you do this” frame | Community and brand content |
social proof → invitation | Others won, now it’s your turn | Testimonial-driven ads |
Pacing type
How the edit rhythm is structured across the video.| Value | Meaning | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
accelerating | Cuts get faster toward the CTA | Short-form ads, direct response |
even | Consistent rhythm throughout | Educational explainers, tutorials |
frontloaded | Fast early to hook, slower middle, tight close | YouTube hybrid content |
decelerating | Starts fast, slows into the close | Long-form content with a reflective close |
accelerating pace on a pain → relief arc = classic direct response. An even pace on aspiration → pathway = educational brand. Mismatches feel off without the viewer being able to say why.
Virality signals
Structural elements that correlate with sharing behavior. These aren’t guarantees — they’re patterns observed in high-performing content. Common signals you’ll see:identity_claim— “If you’re a [X]…” — triggers self-identificationsocial_proof_reference— named companies, user counts, specific outcomesunexpected_reframe— takes a familiar idea and flips the framingloop_worthy_ending— the close prompts a rewatch to catch something missedcomment_bait_phrasing— a claim or question that invites debate or personal sharingscroll_stop_visual— a specific frame type known to halt scrolling (face, text card, dramatic visual)
Content patterns
The repeating structural moves inside the video — its skeleton. This is often the most directly actionable field. Examples:problem stated → micro-story → proof point → CTA and you have three proof points, you have three scenes already structured. Write your VO around those slots.

Transcript — Full transcript in[MM:SS] line format. Use this to see the exact VO structure and identify where hook, body, and CTA begin and end.
Voice analysis — gender, age, accent, tone, pace, words-per-minute, and whether it’s an AI voice. Useful for casting decisions and for understanding whether human voice vs VO affects performance in your niche.
Audio analysis — speech %, silence %, and whether there’s music. High silence percentage in a performing video is a signal — deliberate pauses are often structural, not accidental.
