Tips for better results
Cut to the most surprising 5 seconds first — watch-time is everything.
Re-record the hook natively; reading the same line on camera lifts retention.
Add captions: most short-form is watched on mute.
Only repurpose footage you filmed or licensed — don't reupload others' videos.

Can I use any YouTube video?
