AI Studio: from your source to a Short

Implementation supports MP4/MOV sources up to 40 minutes / 256 MiB and 720p/1080p outputs up to 60 seconds each. Review cuts, word captions and framing.

Remote MCP connection

Connect a compatible client without installing the local bridge. Sign-in, explicit consent and account limits still apply; connecting does not enable paid production.

Included Pro creation: a source up to 5 minutes, 720p. This benefit's limit is separate from the Studio processing ceiling.

Upcoming services

Weekly trending keywords, period view gains, Growth/Outlier and channel grades are not offered here. Existing policy gates remain in place.

Credit example

If a quote is 5 credits for one output from a 5-minute source, 100 credits covers 20 such jobs. This is an example, not 20 outputs guaranteed for every source. Length, output count and optional analyses change the quote.

Start with a search recipe

Editorial starting conditions, not trending keywords or a popularity ranking. Paid research access is required; opening the conditions does not run a search.

How to use reference channels

Compare recent collected videos, save useful references and inspect recorded totals. A 7-day publishing filter is not a 7-day view gain. Research markets are where a channel was discovered, not proof of creator nationality. No revenue or copyright clearance can be inferred from a public search result. Use your own or licensed source for production.

1. Narrow your candidates

Choose a market, topics, subscriber range and video count. A recent upload window filters publication dates, not views earned during that period.

2. Compare the evidence

Compare recent collected videos, original publication dates and update times. A video under 3 minutes is a Shorts candidate, not a verified Shorts classification.

3. Save useful references

Save a channel or video to a folder and add a note. Compare references before forming a new plan. Research does not grant rights to reuse a video.

4. Make your own video

Use reference planning, then upload your own or licensed source to AI Studio. Review the exact credits, cuts, captions and framing before production. A YouTube URL alone does not authorize downloading or copying it.

Data coverage and how to read it

What the data covers

Tracked Korean, English and Japanese content in KR / US / GB / CA / AU / JP. A discovery market is not creator nationality. Japanese language is declared by YouTube or conservatively inferred from kana; ambiguous evidence stays unknown. Coverage is limited to collected channels, not all of Japan.

Check freshness

An update time is the last observation, not a live connection to YouTube. Missing dates stay missing. Growth and Outlier remain gated separately from raw counts.

YouTube source category

Choose any matching category. Combined topic, category, language, period and format conditions must match the same collected video. A video category is not a channel quality grade. Missing source categories stay unknown.
