# Vlog

> You filmed your day. Morning routine, coffee run, work session, whatever. Now turn that raw footage into a watchable vlog.

## Vlog Structure

**Hook (0-5 sec):** Your best moment or tease

**Intro (5-20 sec):** "Hey guys, today I'm..."

**Body (20 sec - 4 min):** Your day, mix talking + B-roll

**Outro (last 30 sec):** Wrap up, CTA
