Paste a TikTok, YouTube Short or Reel and get a shot-by-shot storyboard: framing, camera moves and the hook, with notes to recreate each shot.
About Hookova
Hookova is an AI hook analyzer for short-form video on TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts. A user pastes a link and receives a shot-by-shot storyboard covering framing, camera placement, what is said and when, and the reason each shot appears in the hook. Each report can run up to 60 rows with a keyframe per shot, plus reproduction notes describing how to recreate the shot.
Beyond analysis, the product includes a video transcriber, a save feature for collecting reference videos and other links in a searchable library, a Chrome extension, an iOS app, and a Content Publisher that schedules posts to YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X. Breakdowns are readable from any MCP client, and the site offers MCP server setup guides and developer documentation.
The site describes its users as faceless and multi-account creators, UGC and TikTok Shop sellers, educators, talking-head creators, and skit and short-film makers. Testimonials come from a brand content lead, a freelance editor and a small video agency founder who passes the storyboards to a shooting crew.
