# On-screen timestamp menu for each sign

A faith and spirituality format, measured November 8, 2026 by Volume. https://tryvolume.app/working/faith-and-spirituality/on-screen-timestamp-menu-for-each-sign

In a long multi-sign video, pin a timestamp index on screen right after the hook so viewers can jump to their sign. It worked for 3 accounts, with a median of 21x their usual reach. Type: Editing trick. Seen as: Talking head.

## Why it works

Viewers scrub to their own section instead of scrolling away from a 10-minute video. Weekly and monthly forecast posts on three accounts relied on this.

## How to make it

1. Open with a hook naming the signs or event
2. Show the timestamp directory in the first second
3. Keep it on screen for the whole video

## Hook formula

[Event or week] for [signs]: jump to your time below

## 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.
