Three hours of editing

Left-aligned giant stat with a caps label, a serif sentence and a tiny source tag. Stages: “You spend three hours editing and it gets 47 views.” The video solves a pain you can describe in the viewer's own words. Fits lines like “You spend hours on a budget and still end the month at zero.”.

Try your own words

Open my video with this hook: "Three hours of editing" from the 24fps video editor library.
Preset JSON: https://24fps.dev/video-editor/hooks/three-hours-of-editing/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.

Formula: You spend [lots of effort] on [thing] and it gets [tiny result].
Example lines: You spend three hours editing and it gets 47 views. · You spend hours on a budget and still end the month at zero. · You spend Sundays meal prepping and still order takeout. · You spend days on a logo and the client says 'make it pop'.
Beats: 0.0s Figure '47' slams in at lower-left with a dark outline. → 0.3s Label 'views after three hours of editing' slides under it. → 0.6s Sentence 'sound familiar?' rises; tiny source tag 'Real story, every creator' fades in at the bottom. → 1.4s Speaker mimics typing for 0.5 s, then a sad hold on a dead analytics graph.
Technique: Relatable problem hook: Name a painfully specific frustration so the viewer feels seen.
