Why it works
A startled reaction at 0:00–0:03 opens a visual question before the product is named. Seven radically different treatments in 2.6 seconds at 0:17.3–0:19.9 make the capability feel broad, then the gallery and recipe detail at 0:39.2–0:49.3 show a concrete way to use it. The uneven rhythm—one 10.71-second demonstration shot against 0.25–0.50-second montage shots—makes the burst land harder.
