Question 1

How do I know if my short-form video hook is strong?

Accepted Answer

A strong hook earns attention in the first three seconds before the viewer can scroll. Viralard scores your opening line across four metrics - speed and pacing, readability, structural triggers, and curiosity gap - then shows exactly which one is leaking.

Question 2

Does Viralard predict my video retention?

Accepted Answer

No. Viralard grades text structure using a deterministic rubric and has no access to your analytics. Treat the score as a structural checklist for the opening line, not a forecast of performance.

Question 3

What is a pattern interrupt hook?

Accepted Answer

A pattern interrupt opens with something abrupt that could not start a normal video - a hard claim, a single dramatic word, or a direct challenge. It breaks the viewer's expectation of what comes next and buys extra seconds.

Question 4

Why do my captions get covered by the TikTok or Reels interface?

Accepted Answer

Each platform draws its own buttons, avatar and caption over your video. Viralard models those overlay regions and highlights the exact characters of your hook that fall underneath them, so you can reposition the line before filming.

Question 5

Can I translate my hooks into other languages?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Creator Pro rewrites hooks in 18 languages with per-language adaptation rules rather than word-for-word translation, which preserves the tension that a literal translation destroys.
