Hook-first by structure
The script's opening beat is engineered as the hook — the product, the question, the tension — inside the first five seconds, before the skip button matters.

In-stream
16:9 · hook-first structure for skippables
Bumpers
:06 — exactly six seconds, one idea
Shorts
9:16 vertical with word-synced captions
Brand
Logo + CTA locked on the close
Why it works
Made for the format, not adapted to it
Real :06 bumpers
Six seconds, exactly, to the frame — one idea, brand up front. The hardest format to cut by hand is a one-line ask here.
One brief, every placement
In-stream 16:9, Shorts 9:16 — each generated natively for the placement, not letterboxed or blind-cropped.
Sound-on and sound-off
Designed voiceover and scored music for sound-on viewing; word-synced captions so the message lands muted too.
Your brand, grounded
Paste your channel's site: real logo, real colors, real claims. The end card carries your CTA and URL — rendered once, correctly.
Iterate on hooks fast
“Give me a version that opens on the problem instead” — new hooks are a chat message, not a re-shoot.

FAQ
Questions, answered
Does it understand the skippable format?
Yes — ad-intent videos front-load the hook and place brand early, and you can demand it explicitly (“brand in the first 3 seconds”). The close always carries your CTA.
Can it make the 6-second bumper exactly six seconds?
Yes — :06 is a frame-exact deliverable slot, enforced structurally rather than trimmed after the fact.
Do I get captions?
Vertical and social cuts add word-synced captions by default; any cut can add them on request, in several animation styles.
Does Wavemaker upload to YouTube for me?
No — you export platform-ready MP4s and upload through Google Ads or YouTube Studio as usual.
