01 / THE STYLE
The Alex Hormozi editing style, decomposed
The Hormozi style rewired what business clips look like: it treats every sentence as a retention event. Each word gets captioned as it is spoken, key nouns get a colour or an emoji, and the frame punches in whenever the energy rises. Editing it manually means keyframing dozens of zooms and animating hundreds of caption words per minute of video — which is exactly why it became the most outsourced edit on the internet.
- PacingA cut or a zoom punch every one to two seconds — silence and dead air are edited out entirely.
- CaptionsLarge word-by-word captions with keyword highlights and emoji accents, always centre-frame.
- EmphasisPunch-ins on the speaker, flash b-roll and icons illustrating each claim as it lands.
- SoundWhooshes, pops and risers marking every cut and caption beat.
