To write hooks for short-form video that stop the scroll, apply structured patterns like curiosity gaps, pattern interrupts, and identity call-outs to open viewer interest loops and maximize retention. This approach ensures your content grabs attention immediately.

Common short-form video hook anti-patterns to avoid include failing to open a loop or misaligning the hook with the actual content. Evaluating hook strength and scroll-ability helps identify and iterate away from these low-retention patterns.
