Nine out of ten fail

Left-aligned giant stat with a caps label, a serif sentence and a tiny source tag. Stages: “90% of new year's resolutions fail. The ones that don't do this.” You have a credible figure that changes how the viewer sees the topic. Fits lines like “80% of startups never ship. The ones that do skip this.”.

Open my video with this hook: "Nine out of ten fail" from the 24fps video editor library.
Preset JSON: https://24fps.dev/video-editor/hooks/nine-out-of-ten-fail/preset.json (pass its "preset" to the engine).
Engine (MIT, no dependencies, ES module): https://24fps.dev/editor/engine.js. Download the engine next to your page (curl -O) rather than importing cross-origin, then import { mount } from "./engine.js" in a <script type="module"> served over http.
Wiring: root = a position:relative box at the video's size. media = { main }: main is a wrapper holding my video, filling the root. Then const fx = mount(root, { kind: "text", preset, media }) and call fx.render(seconds) every frame. The preset runs 4s from t = 0; offset t to place it later. It is seek-safe: drive it from the GSAP timeline in HyperFrames or call render(frame / fps) in Remotion. Before capturing frames, await (fx.ready ?? document.fonts.ready). Check it on my footage: if text is hidden behind the subject or doesn't read against my colours, nudge the layer positions or colours.
Replace the demo text with mine: set preset.layers[n].text (use \n for line breaks); if none given, write lines that fit my footage and tell me.
Hook formula: [N]% of [group] fail at [thing]. The [few] who don't do this.

Formula: [N]% of [group] fail at [thing]. The [few] who don't do this.
Example lines: 90% of new year's resolutions fail. The ones that don't do this. · 80% of startups never ship. The ones that do skip this. · 95% of diets fail. The ones that don't do this one thing. · 75% of trips run over budget. The ones that don't plan this.
Beats: 0.0s Figure '90%' slams in at lower-left with a dark outline. → 0.3s Label 'of new year's resolutions fail' slides under it. → 0.6s Sentence 'the 10% who don't do this one thing' rises; tiny source tag 'Common estimate' fades in at the bottom. → 1.4s A quick shot of a calendar thrown out; speaker leans in as the 10% is mentioned.
Technique: Stat shock hook: Open on a surprising, specific number, then its consequence.
