How it works

Three steps.
Actual answers.

01

Connect your channel

Sign in with Google. ClipHorizon pulls your real retention data from YouTube Analytics — the same graphs you see in Studio, but actually actionable.

02

Analyze a Short

Pick any of your videos. ClipHorizon maps every retention drop to the second it happened and explains exactly what you were saying when it did.

03

Fix and grow

Follow the timestamped edit list. Track your hook score over time. Upload your next video before publishing to catch problems before they cost you viewers.

Everything included

Built for creators who
take retention seriously

Every tool you need is in one place — no stitching together five different apps.

FAQ

Common questions

How does ClipHorizon get my retention data?

ClipHorizon connects to your YouTube account via Google OAuth and uses the YouTube Analytics API to fetch your real retention data — the same data you see in YouTube Studio.

What is a hook score?

Your hook score measures how well your video retains viewers in the first 30% of the video relative to its peak. A score above 80 means your opening is strong.

How many credits do I get for free?

Every new account starts with 10 free credits. Each video analysis costs 3 credits for videos under 60 seconds, and 5 credits for longer videos.

Can I analyze competitor videos?

Yes — paste any public YouTube URL into the Analyze Any Short feature. It uses AI to analyze the video's public stats, hook strength, and suggest improvements. Costs 2 credits.

Does ClipHorizon work for long-form videos?

ClipHorizon is optimized for YouTube Shorts (under 3 minutes). Videos over 3 minutes cannot be analyzed.

What AI model powers the analysis?

ClipHorizon uses Google Gemini models for drop explanations, edit suggestions, and hook rewrites. The specific model used may change over time as the product evolves.
