Where's the hook? Start with the loud parts.
An honest energy scan of the whole track, ranked: the three windows where the song burns hottest, marked on the waveform, each one tap from your ears. Usually the chorus. Sometimes a surprise.

Loud finds candidates. The engine finds the moment.

Frequently asked questions
How does the hook finder work?
It slides a 15-second window across the whole song, scores each position by RMS energy, and keeps the three highest-scoring windows that don't overlap. Choruses and drops are usually the loudest sustained stretches, so the top candidates usually contain the hook.
When does the heuristic fail?
Songs that build to one long climax rank their ending three times; quiet-verse-loud-chorus songs work perfectly; spoken word confuses it entirely. That's the nature of an energy scan — it's a flashlight, not a producer.
Can I adjust the window length?
Yes — 15, 30, or 60 seconds, matching what you'd actually clip. Longer windows favor sustained sections; shorter ones find explosive moments.
What do I do with a winner?
Tap through to the Reel Snippet Cutter with your section pre-loaded conceptually — same waveform, cut to length, fades, export. Two tools, one minute, post-ready.
