Hook template

What if [variable] [action] every [time unit]? Start at [starting_value], track the [first_consequence], then compare to [landmark_1], [landmark_2], and finally [extreme_outcome].

Sound Add the sound in the app's own editor, not in the exported file. A trending sound used there is fine; copyrighted music or a cloned voice baked into the file can get the video muted or its reach cut.
