# Jump cut after each finished braid section

A beauty format, measured November 8, 2026 by Volume. https://tryvolume.app/working/beauty/jump-cut-after-each-finished-braid-section

Start on the first crisp part and cut after every completed section so the pattern builds on screen. It worked for 3 accounts, with a median of 14x their usual reach. Type: Editing trick. Seen as: Talking head, Video.

## Why it works

Viewers watch the geometric pattern grow and stay for the reveal. Compilations chain more clients to extend watch time.

## How to make it

1. Open on the first part or section
2. Jump cut after each finished braid
3. End on the full reveal

## Hook formula

come with me to do [braid style]

## How this is measured

- Every post is compared with its own account's usual reach, not with other accounts. "14x their usual" means the post got 14 times the median views of that account's recent posts.
- TikTok videos and Instagram Reels are measured on views. Instagram carousels have no view count, so they are measured on likes against the account's usual likes, and say so.
- A post makes the library at 2x its account's usual or more. A format is a repeatable move (what is said or shown, or how it is edited) that several accounts used in breakout posts. It is listed here once it worked for 3 or more different accounts.
- Formats rank on how many accounts they worked for and how far above usual, damped so a fluke on one tiny account cannot outrank a format that worked for ten.
