References & Library
6 questions in this topic.
Do I need the Chrome extension?
The Chrome extension makes saving references instant, especially from Instagram. You can also add URLs manually inside the app.
What does ARC Lab actually analyze in a reference video?
ARC Lab pulls the video's transcript and breaks the script down into its building blocks: the hook, structure, tension, and pacing, so you can see the strategy behind why it works. It also generates a section-by-section storyboard, so you can see how each moment is framed to make the story land.
What kind of content works as a reference — only videos?
For now, ARC Lab works from short-form video references — the reels and clips whose structure you want to learn from. Save them with the Chrome extension while you're watching, or paste a link into the app.
What if I don't have a strong reference library yet?
No problem — start with our curated library of 600+ high-performing references. Just search for the kind of content you want to make and pick one to build from. You can grow your own library over time as you save more.
