A few days ago I shared that I’m building Pracal, a tool that analyzes short-form videos before you post and shows where viewers might drop off and what to improve.
Since then, 20 creators have sent in their videos. I went through each one manually.
Some early patterns:
80%+ drop happens in the first 3 seconds
Slow or unclear hooks are the #1 reason
Even good videos lose viewers if the opening doesn’t create immediate curiosity
Sharing this update because the results surprised me. Small changes in the opening completely change retention.
I’m building the tool to make this analysis faster and more actionable.
If you want a free analysis of one of your videos, reply here or DM me.
