YouTube Video Analyzer: AI-Powered Feedback for Any Video Length
The AI analyzer that shows you exactly where viewers stop watching — whether it's a 30-second Short or a 30-minute tutorial. Beat-by-beat feedback, timestamped fixes, free to try.
What the YouTube Video Analyzer Checks
Hook Score
Are the first seconds compelling enough to keep viewers watching? The analyzer scores your hook and suggests stronger alternatives.
Retention Analysis
See where viewers drop off with a color-coded retention timeline. Every drop point gets a specific explanation and fix.
Pacing Feedback
The analyzer flags slow spots, rushed transitions, and dead air that kills viewer attention — at any video length.
Clarity Check
Will a new viewer understand your video immediately? The analyzer catches confusing moments and unclear messaging.
Chapter-Level Analysis for Long Videos
For long-form content, Shorta maps pacing and retention across chapters so you can identify which segments cause viewer drop-off and tighten your edit accordingly.

How the Video Analyzer Works
Paste URL or Upload Video
Works with any YouTube URL or video file — Shorts, long-form, tutorials, vlogs. Drafts and rough cuts work too.
AI Analyzes Every Beat
The analyzer segments your video and evaluates each section for hook strength, retention risk, pacing, and clarity.
Get Timestamped Feedback
Specific notes at every problem point. Not "improve your pacing" — but "0:45–1:10: This section buries the main point. Cut to the demo."
Generate a Fix Plan
Approve fixes and generate a re-filming or re-editing storyboard with scene reordering and hook alternatives.
Why Analyze Before Publishing?
- First impressions are permanent. Once a video is published and gets low retention, you can't recover those views. Analyze before you publish.
- YouTube's algorithm rewards retention. The analyzer maps exactly where viewers drop off so you can fix retention killers first.
- Every issue has a fix. The analyzer doesn't just find problems — it gives you specific, actionable suggestions for every issue it finds.
