# Short b-roll loop, full list in caption

A travel format, measured November 8, 2026 by Volume. https://tryvolume.app/working/travel/short-b-roll-loop-full-list-in-caption

Show a 5-10 second atmospheric clip with a curiosity hook and send viewers to the caption for the real list. It worked for 4 accounts, with a median of 6x their usual reach. Type: Editing trick. Seen as: Video, Talking head.

## Why it works

The clip is short, so it loops while people read the caption. That raises watch time and saves on the long list or itinerary below.

## How to make it

1. Pick one 5-10 second b-roll clip
2. Put a curiosity or warning line on screen, like 'unless you know these hacks'
3. Write the numbered tips or timestamped itinerary in the caption
4. Point to the caption with an arrow or text

## Hook formula

[Destination] is expensive... unless you know these hacks 👇

## 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.
