<b>Stop the scroll with a frozen frame</b>
Ran this test on 6 Reels last week: first frame held dead-still for the opening 0.4s, zero motion, then snap into action.
Avg retention at second 3 jumped from 41% to 58% vs my usual cold-open movement.
Theory: motion in frame 1 reads as 'ad' to the thumb. Stillness reads as 'photo I accidentally landed on' so they wait.
<b>Do this in 10 min:</b> open your last Reel, add a 0.4s held still frame at the top, repost as a new clip. Watch the sec-3 number.
