How Animatiq Analyzes Startup Launch Videos (Methodology)

Animatiq systematically deconstructs high-performing startup launch videos from X and Y Combinator, evaluating retention dynamics, visual editing rhythm, and underlying motion design code.

Hook Score (0–10)

Animatiq's Hook Score rates the first 3 seconds of a video on a 0–10 scale. It evaluates pattern interrupt strength, headline contrast velocity, audio-visual synchronization, and viewer drop-off mitigation.

Visual Pacing (Cuts/Min)

We measure cuts per minute (CPM) across the entire video. Tech launch videos balance between high-velocity pattern shifts (20–28 CPM) and focused product walkthroughs (12–18 CPM) to maintain peak cognitive engagement.

Motion Craft & Primitives

Every video is reverse-engineered into reusable code primitives — terminal typing effects, camera push-ins, shader textures, and kinetic typography recipes — ready to remix directly inside Animatiq Studio.
