What Works Now

Hook in 1 second

Start with sound or motion: rev, launch, or reveal a mod. On-screen text promises a clear outcome.

Shoot for vertical

Plan 9:16 framing with room for captions and UI. Keep the car centered but leave breathing space.

Three-beat edit

Structure clips as setup → reveal → payoff. Keep each beat under 2 seconds to maintain retention.

Texture the sound

Layer engine, tire, and environmental sounds under music. Sidechain lightly to preserve impact.

Readable captions

High-contrast, short lines. Avoid blocking key car details; anchor near top or bottom thirds.

Batch and bank

Film multiple angles per scene. Edit 3–5 variations from one session to test hooks and lengths.

Posting Rhythm

Publish 3–5 times per week. Mix quick hooks, build series (e.g., Wheel Wednesday), and a weekly hero piece. Iterate on what keeps retention above 60% in the first 5 seconds.
