[00:00:00] Speaker 1: In this video, I wanna share a quick tip for finding a stronger hook inside the new Riverside Editor. Sometimes the best opening for your video isn't actually the first thing you recorded. Now, before we go into the editor, I do wanna show that in the Made For You tab within your recording, you can actually scroll down here and there's automatically these hooks that are generated for you inside the Made For You tab. And this is one way that you can find quick hooks to intro your video. You can even bring these in and you can edit them, download, or share them. But let me show you how you can access that in the edit page. Once you're inside the Riverside Editor, you can go to Media, which is over here on your left side, and then you can click on Projects. And then there's a dropdown menu right here where you can see All Files, Recording, Edit, Magic Clips, and right here is Hook. And underneath Hooks are gonna be those four hooks that we saw in the Made For You tab, but these are gonna be formatted directly to bring into your edit inside the editor. Now, Riverside will automatically pull out moments that could work as a strong opening for your video. From there, you can click on the hook and it will automatically drop into your timeline. Right here, it's put on the end. I'm just gonna drag it to the front. And then you can preview whichever hook is put inside of your editor. You can swap these out really easy. Now, it's put at the beginning of the timeline. And then you can choose which one will work the best for you. If we zoom in here a little bit, we can see exactly where that hook was placed and it's automatically edited for us so we don't have to chop this up or remove silences or anything. Now, instead of opening with a slow intro, your video starts with one of the most interesting moments right away. It's a really simple way to make your video feel stronger from the first few seconds. I hope you found this quick tip helpful inside the new Riverside editor. We can't wait to see what you create.
