The hook

Do
Show a clip from someone else's video, then react with your take.

The first 3 seconds

  1. 0.0s1–3 seconds of the other video: the claim or the moment.
  2. 2.0sCut to your face, already reacting.
  3. 3.0sThe viewer wants your take.

Why it works

The first clip is already proven to grab attention. Your reaction adds something new.

What you need

  • A clip with a strong claim or moment
  • The app's Stitch (TikTok) or Remix (Shorts) feature
  • Something new to add: a correction, a test, a joke

Step by step

Plan

  1. Pick a clip with a strong claim, a big mistake or a funny moment.
  2. Decide what you'll add: proof it's wrong, a test, a better version.

Film

  1. Use the app's Stitch or Remix feature, so the original creator is credited.
  2. React straight away, then make your point.

Edit

  1. Use only 1–3 seconds of their clip.
  2. Get to your new part fast.

Use it in your niche

  • ScienceTheir claim, then you testing it at home
  • CookingTheir recipe, then your cheaper version
  • FitnessTheir exercise, then a safer way to do it

Pro tips

  • Add something new. Just reacting isn't enough.
  • Be respectful even when you disagree. The other creator's fans will see it.

Avoid

  • Using someone's clip without Stitch or Remix. That's reposting their work.
  • Mocking the creator.
