How to test hooks without burning budget

Keep the video body identical and swap only the opening line — that isolates the hook as the variable. Generate the variants in one parallel batch with the Polaris AI UGC ad generator (each hook renders as its own clip inside Claude), give every version the same small budget, and read hook rate after a few thousand impressions. Need more openers? The free hook generator produces ten at a time.
