The Clip Law★★★★★
Every short-form clip = a mini-story. No story, no clip. Reject it.
why it matters
Most AI-generated short-form fails because it's a vibe reel, not a story. The Clip Law is the fix: every clip must have a HOOK (grab attention in 2s), be ENTERTAINING the whole way through, and land a PAYOFF (a callback, twist, or rewatchable moment).
If a clip has a great hook but no payoff, it gets rejected. Not re-ranked, not edited — rejected. This single rule is what separates viral clips from everything else. It's the hard filter for every short-form pipeline.

Paste the doctrine into your clip ranker or prompt as a hard constraint. Any clip that fails HOOK + ENTERTAINING + PAYOFF gets rejected before rendering.You're generating long-form video where vibe and pacing carry the weight on their own.
