Introduces the three models (Nano Banana 2, Cling 2.6 motion control, Cling 3.0) and the need for a reference video to guide the transition.

Master a step-by-step workflow to build viral hook transitions using Nano Banana 2, Cling 2.6 motion control, and Cling 3.0 inside Premiere Pro.

Summary

ElevenLabs presents a practical guide to crafting viral hook transitions by combining Nano Banana 2 with Cling 2.6 motion control and Cling 3.0. The video walks through creating two location scenes (tropical island and rooftop) and generating corresponding image generations with Nano Banana 2 for each shot. It then shows how to export motion reference clips in Premiere Pro, ensuring the Cling 2.6 motion control setup can apply movement to your likeness. Viewers learn to set up start and end frames in Cling 3.0 from the generated clips, attach a crafted prompt for the transition, and experiment with duration and sound to bring the moment to life. The workflow includes optional 2K/4K upscaling, vertical aspect ratios for TikTok/Instagram, and timing adjustments like audio fades and speed ramps in Premiere Pro. A quick tip is to buffer the reference videos (Cling 2.6 sometimes trims frames) and to generate multiple transition variations to pick the best fit. Finally, the video suggests adding sound effects from 11 Labs’ sound generator to enhance the punch of the transition. The overall message: with creative prompts and careful framing, you can prompt visually dynamic viral transitions that feel seamless in the edit."

Key Takeaways

  • Use Nano Banana 2 to generate two location-based scenes (e.g., tropical island and rooftop) with your likeness as the subject.
  • Create two motion reference clips in Premiere Pro, ensuring each is at least 3 seconds long for Cling 2.6 motion control.
  • When using Cling 2.6, set the motion by matching the image to the video motion (not vice versa) and export a dedicated motion clip A and clip B.
  • Capture start and end frames from the Cling 2.6 outputs to drive Cling 3.0 transitions, then experiment with 3–8 seconds of transition duration.
  • Toggle audio and apply a speed ramp in Premiere Pro to smooth the transition and maintain lip-sync accuracy.
  • Generate multiple variations with Cling 3.0 to choose the most natural or dramatic transition, then download and insert into your timeline.
  • Enhance the effect by adding sound design from 11 Labs’ sound generator and adjusting levels for a punchy finish.

Full Transcript
In this video, you're going to learn how to create viral hook transitions using Nano Banana 2 and Cling 3.0 just like this. Wa! Are you ready to learn? So, to create your viral hook transition, you're going to be using three models. Nano Banana 2, Cling 2.6 motion control, and then Cling 3.0. And on top of that, we're going to need a reference video that we can use with Cling 2.6 six motion control to direct the movement of our Nano Modana 2 Generations. [music] So, here I am in Premiier Pro and the first thing you can see is my reference clip in the timeline. And let's go ahead and play this back. I could be making this video right now from a tropical island or I could be in a snazzy suit on top of a rooftop. And as you can see in the script, I say tropical island and I say rooftop because these are the two locations that I want to put myself in. And between these two segments, I want to create a transition. So, what I'm going to do is simply make a cut between the two sentences. Trim off a little bit of the blank space right here. And now, this empty part is where we're going to create the transition. But before we do that, we need to generate our new scenes with Nano Banana 2. To put myself in multiple different locations, we're going to be using 11 Labs image and video. And you can click the first link in the description down below to follow along. The first thing I'm going to do is click on the model picker, and you want to make sure that you select Nano Banana 2, which is Google's latest AI image generation model. The next thing I want to do is I want to paste in my [music] prompt. So, I've got this prompt right here. place this person on a tropical island sitting casually in a beach chair with a laptop. And so I'm describing the scene that I want to create with me in it. At the end, I like to add a little bit of detail like cinematic medium shot, shallow depth of field because I like my shots to look quite nice. And then what I want to do is upload an image reference of myself. And so here, if we click image reference, we can go and upload a picture. But I actually already have an image uploaded of me that I use as a reference in my folders. And so if I click on files right here, as you can see, I've got this image which I can simply drag and drop into the image reference. Now what I want to do is change the resolution to 2K or we could even go with 4K. One thing I do want to mention is if you are doing this for a vertical video, let's say you're making a Tik Tok, you can actually go and change the aspect ratio here and make it 9x6 if you want to have that vertical aspect ratio for Tik Tok and Instagram res. Once you've done all of this, you simply want to go ahead and click generate. And now I'm going to do the same thing for the second scene. So once again here I'm going to paste in my prompt. I'm not going to change any of the settings and I'm simply going to click on the image reference that I've already used to use once again my likeness in the actual shot and also click generate. And now as you can see we've got the image generations of me placing the locations that I need for my viral hook transition. So the first one that I want to use is this one right here as I'm sitting in front of the water on the actual sand. And then I'm going to be using this one right here for the second location as I'm facing the camera and I've got my hands in front of my body. And you'll understand why in just a second because we want to create the videos now with Cling 2.6 motion control. And to do this we're going to toggle over to video in the prompt box down below. And now we're going to go to the model picker and here we're going to select cling 2.6 motion control. Now what we need to do is upload our character or here simply drag and drop the image generation that we want to use. So, I want to use this one as my character. I'm going to drag and drop it into the character box. And now, we need the motion video as a reference. And this part is the first part of the reference video we've already recorded. So, back in Premiier Pro, I'm going to simply export just this section like so. I'm going to call it clip A original. And then I'm simply going to hit export. And then, just so it's done, I'm going to do it for the second part. And now, I do want to mention for Cling 2.6 motion control, reference videos need to be a minimum of 3 seconds. So, make sure your clip is at least 3 seconds long. And I'm calling this one clip B original so I can easily differentiate the two. And again, click export. Now, if I click on motion video, as you can see, we've got our two reference clips. So, I'm going to choose clip A and click open. And before we click generate, we can add a prompt, but I like to let Cling 2.6 motion control simply apply the motion to my image. And we actually want to match the motion from the video to the image and not match the image to the video. So we want to make sure that we go ahead and click match image. So the movement is applied to my character actually sitting in the chair. Once we've done that here, we can simply go ahead and click generate. And now we repeat the same process for the second part. So here I simply drag and drop this one as the character for motion video. We go ahead and select clip B. Click open. And once again click generate. And as you can see now our two clips have generated. So let's go and have a look at the first one. be making this video right now from a tropical island or and as you can see now we've got my voice lip sync to me in a new location and so we could go ahead and download both of these by simply clicking the download button and I do want to mention by the way if we go ahead and click on one I could be in a snazzy suit on top of a rooftop we can actually also go and upscale it if you were working in 4K and you wanted a higher quality and now back in Premiier Pro all I have to do is drag in the generations and so if I drag in the new generation for clip A here. And then we drag in the generation for clip B. Just like so. Now we have both of our clips. But one thing you will notice is that Cling 2.6 motion control actually tends to trim off a few frames from either the start or the beginning. So it's good to keep in mind when you are generating with your reference video to leave a little bit of buffer on either side. But what we can go and do now is actually delete our previous videos because we only need to use the cling 2.6 to six motion control generations. Now, what I want to do is create the transition, this empty space between. And the way we want to do that is we want to use Cling 3.0 with start and end frames. And the start and end frames we're going to be using, we're going to get them right now from our Cling 2.6 motion control generations. So, right here, I want to use the last frame of the clip A, and I'm simply going to take a snapshot and save that. So, that's going to be used as the start frame. And then the end frame is going to be the first frame of the generation for clip B. So I place the playhead here. And then we take a snapshot and export that frame. [music] And now we go back into 11 Labs. And here we want to go and click on the model picker in the video prompt box. And we're going to select cling 3.0. And as you can see, we've got start and end frames. And so I'm going to drag the first frame in just like that. And then I'm going to drag the second frame in as the end frame just like so. And this time I want to describe what happens during the transition because otherwise the model will make it up for me. So here you can kind of get creative with what you want to happen during your transition between the two clips. And so here I simply paste in my prompt and as you can see I'm describing everything I want to happen during my viral hook transition that we generated by cling 3.0. Now one thing I do want to mention is that I like to actually toggle sound on because it brings the transition to life. And then I like to change and play around with the duration. For example, if it's just a quick snappy transition that I like, I might go for something like 3 seconds. However, if there's a lot happening and a lot of detail and I want it to be a little bit longer, I might increase it to 8 seconds. But let's go ahead and try 4 seconds for this generation right here. And then I like to generate a couple of variations just so I have a couple of transitions to choose between that get generated from my prompt. And so here I click generate. And now Cling 3.0 goes ahead and generates them. And so as you can see here, we've got the transition that's been generated. And I went ahead and actually generated a couple of extra ones just so I'd have the option to choose. And so if we look at this one, I really like the movement of how he rises up and how the clothes swap. But we can then go and have a look at this one. And I really like the camera movement here, even though the body does go a little bit weird. But essentially, once you've chosen the clip you like, you can go ahead and download it. And now back in Premiere Pro, what we want to do is simply drag it between these two clips. And so this is the transition. I'm going to go ahead and delete this gap and delete this gap. And because we used the last frame to clip A and the first frame to clip B, it should flow seamlessly when watching the whole thing back. Be making this video right now from a tropical island or boom. I could be in a snazzy suit on top of a rooftop. As you can see right here, we've got the full clip. But there is a couple of things that we want to clean up. The first thing you might have noticed is that there was a little bit of an audio clip at the beginning right here. So, what I want to do is I actually want to fade in the audio to this clip and then go to the end and do the same thing where I fade the audio in Premiere so we don't hear the little audio clipping. Be making this video right now from a tropical island or boom. I could be in a snazzy suit. And then the next thing we could do is add a little bit of speed ram to make the transition more seamless. So here we could right click on the clip and then we want to go down to show clip key frames and then we want to go down to time remapping and select speed. And so now if I hold down command on the keyboard, I can place a speed ramp key frame and then we can adjust the speed of the beginning of the clip just like so. As you can see, the duration of it has now been changed. And so we need to take that into account because it doesn't affect the audio. So let's have a look. Or it gets to the part a little bit quicker. But we can actually zoom in, adjust this, and then increase the speed of it at the beginning. So we get to part of the transition a little bit quicker. Let's see what this looks like. Or and now we're missing the boom. So I might actually want to just cut that. Sync it back up with when he says it again. and then drag this back in and fade this audio out. So now it looks like this from a tropical island or boom, I could be in a snazzy suit on top of a rooftop. And then the last thing we could do if we wanted to to bring it to life even more is go back into 11 Labs and we could go to the sound effects generator and we could go ahead and generate some sound effects to accompany the transition to bring it more to life. So for example, I could go in and add something like a reverse symbol. So, we've got a little bit of a buildup to the sound effect. I'll go ahead and click generate. And then we click play on one. This one could work. So, I'll download it. I'll download it as a wave file for the best quality. And then back in Premiere Pro, I could drag the sound effect in. And I might add it to the end just before I start talking again. Just like so. Maybe reduce the audio levels of it by 6 dB. And now the end of the transition sounds like this. Boom. I could be in a snazzy suit on top of a rooftop. There we go. And that boom doesn't quite fit in there, but we could then go and use a different generation and recreate this transition as many times as we need to until we're happy with it. But you can go wild and get really creative with your cling 3.0 transition when it comes to adding the prompt to start and end frames. And so, anything you can kind of think of and imagine, you can prompt it to create your viral hook transitions. If you have any questions, let us know in the comment section down below.
