Everything you need to know about AI video grading
Views and content quality are different metrics. A video can go viral due to timing, controversy, algorithm luck, or an existing audience — despite having weak structure or poor visuals.
The grader evaluates craft: hook technique, pacing, visual execution, and storytelling. Think of it like a film critic reviewing a box office hit — commercial success and technical quality measure different things.
Use the grader to identify what you can improve so your next viral video is also a well-crafted one.
Any public YouTube video. Paste a competitor's URL and get the same detailed breakdown. It's great for reverse-engineering what top creators in your niche do well — and where even they have room to improve.
For YouTube URLs, any public video up to 2 hours works — the AI streams it directly.
For file uploads, we accept MP4, MOV, and WebM up to 500MB (roughly 15 minutes of content). The AI analyzes both visual and audio content regardless of input method.
The overall score weights content 60% and visuals 40%.
Each criterion is scored independently by Gemini AI after watching the full video.
The engagement arc plots predicted viewer attention throughout your video. It shows where viewers are hooked, where they might drop off, and where your peaks and valleys are.
Your video's arc is compared against the ideal arc for your content type (social short, YouTube long-form, podcast, etc.) — so you can see exactly where you're losing attention.
Yes. After grading 3 or more videos, the system identifies your recurring strengths and weaknesses. When you generate new scripts, those patterns are automatically fed into the AI prompt.
This means scripts are tailored to play to your strengths and address your weak spots — creating a continuous improvement loop.
No. Uploaded videos are deleted immediately after grading — they exist in temporary storage only during the 30-60 seconds it takes to analyze them.
Your grading results (scores, feedback, engagement arc) are saved to your account so you can track improvement over time.
