Eggie's Shorts Analyzer

Paste a link or fill in the details, and I'll tell you what's working and what isn't. Use it before you post to plan it out, or after to figure out why something didn't pop off. ✨

Upload your video (recommended)

Drop your video in and I'll watch the first 3 seconds — checking your motion, scene cuts, and audio to score your hook for you. Stays on your computer, nothing gets uploaded.

Tell me about your post

Type in what you wrote, or what you're planning to write. The more I know, the better I can help.

I'll stick this at the end of your YouTube description automatically. Fill it in once and it'll show up in every post pack.

Add your numbers (optional)

If you've already posted this and have retention numbers from YouTube Studio, drop them in. If not, skip this — you'll still get a score from steps 1 and 2.

How do I figure out which one mine is? 🐙

Try this: open your short, pause it at 1.5 seconds, and ask yourself: "if a stranger saw this, would they keep watching?" Then check which one fits:

Strong · By 1.5 seconds, something is already happening. Movement on screen, a face reacting, an on-screen question, a sound that kicks in, or the punchline arriving before the setup. Watching it makes you go "wait, what?" Like: the punchline first, then the setup. A jump-cut straight to the wildest part. Text on screen that says "Nobody talks about…"
Medium · You can tell what the video is about, but it's not exciting yet. You're easing in. Someone scrolling past would only stop if they already know your channel. Like: "Today I'm gonna show you…", a slow zoom in, a title card with no movement.
Weak · By 1.5 seconds, nobody knows what's going on yet. There's nothing happening visually. Like: your intro logo, a long pause before you start talking, "hey guys welcome back", or a sideways video with black bars.
What counts as something people would rewatch? 🌸
Yes · The ending loops back to the beginning so cleanly that people watch it through twice without realizing. OR it's so packed with stuff that a second watch shows you something new (a background detail, a tiny joke). OR the punchline only makes sense once you've seen the setup, so people scrub back to catch it. Like: a clean looped animation, a clip where the last frame matches the first, or a reaction with a bunch of overlapping text.
No · Once you've seen the joke or the moment, you're done. You're ready to swipe. Most shorts are this, and that's totally fine. It just means you need to nail the 45 to 55 second range instead of relying on loops.
