Pre-publish video analysis

Know exactly what to fix. Before you post.

PreViral Analysis is a pre-publish video analysis tool. Upload your finished video and the AI watches every frame, then hands you a timestamped report: what holds attention, where viewers slip, and how to fix it while you can still change the cut.

The status quo

Posting blind is expensive.

You spend hours planning, making, and editing. Then you post, and the feed decides in seconds. Most creators learn what was broken from the retention graph, days after it mattered.

Analysis moves that signal in front of the publish button. Same video, same honesty, but while every fix is still cheap.

Without it, the loop looks like this: guess, post, read the damage in the retention graph three days later, and carry the same guesses into the next edit. Analysis breaks that loop at the only point where the video can still change.

Hours that aren't creating

1 in 2

Nearly every second working hour goes into planning, admin, and post-mortems — before the edit even starts.

The window you get

3 sec

Roughly how long viewers give your opening before they stay or scroll. If the first seconds drag, nothing after them gets seen.

Methodology

How your analysis is made.

Two stages, no mystery. The model measures what can be measured, then scores those signals against frameworks tuned to your niche, platform, and country.

1Stage 1 · Video AI

It watches like a viewer

The model goes through your video frame by frame and extracts named, checkable signals instead of vibes. Everything it reports can be traced back to a specific second of your footage.

hook durationcuts / minscene changesaudio qualityon-screen text

2Stage 2 · Scoring

Signals become scores

Every signal runs against 10 frameworks, each returning a named score. Your context decides the weighting: a fitness short on YouTube is judged differently from a long-form explainer. That context is why the same cut can score differently on TikTok than on YouTube.

10 frameworks57 niches5 platforms30 countries

Hook Power

How fast the opening earns attention. It measures time to first motion, first face, and first promise across the opening seconds. Feeds weigh early retention heavily, so a slow start caps everything that follows.

Intro Framework

What happens between the hook and the first real value. It flags intros that restate the title, stack branding, or stall the start with setup nobody asked for. Every wasted second here is a viewer who swipes before your content begins.

Value Loops

How often the video keeps earning the watch. It counts payoff moments and measures the gaps between them, looking for stretches where nothing new lands. Frequent small payoffs are what keep average view duration climbing.

Strategic Ordering

Whether information arrives in the order viewers need it. It maps your reveals against the curiosity they create and catches the big one buried at the end. The right order turns the same material into a video people finish.

Tension & Pacing

The rhythm of cuts, beats, and pauses. It tracks how often the visual state changes and finds the stretches where the energy flattens. Pacing dips are where retention graphs bend, so they cost more reach than almost anything else.

Emotional Flow

The arc from curiosity to payoff. It tracks whether the feeling builds scene by scene or resets every time the topic changes. Viewers stay for momentum, and an arc that keeps rising holds them to the end.

Payoff & Outro

Whether the ending rewards the watch and how cleanly it exits. It measures the distance between the payoff and the final frame, flagging outros that overstay. Tight endings invite rewatches and loops, and loops are a signal platforms notice.

Metadata

Title, description, and on-screen text working with the content, not against it. It checks that the promise in the packaging matches what the video actually delivers. A mismatch earns clicks that bounce, and bounces read as a bad signal.

Psychology

Creativity, emotional impact, and viewer connection. The reasons a viewer keeps watching. It looks for curiosity gaps, stakes, and the moments that make a stranger feel personally addressed.

F10

Algorithm Alignment

Format fit for the platform you chose. It checks length, aspect ratio, and loop behavior against what that feed currently favors. A strong video in the wrong format fights the distribution instead of riding it.

Post-publish analytics explain what happened. Analysis tells you what to fix before anyone sees it.

Who it's for

Made for the way you publish.

Part-time creators

One shot a week

You get one upload a week, maybe two. Analysis tells you which fixes matter before you spend another evening editing the wrong thing again. Run the report on Sunday night, make the two edits that matter, and post knowing the week's one shot is actually placed.

Full-time growth

Signal before publish

You already read retention graphs. This is the same signal, before publish, with named causes and timestamps instead of a curve you decode after the fact. Drop the report next to last week's graph and watch the same dips show up, before this one is live.

Creator teams

One report, zero threads

One shared report instead of feedback ping-pong. Timestamps everyone can point at, fixes everyone can own, a score everyone agrees on. Paste the report link in the channel and the edit review runs itself.

Privacy

Your video is deleted right after the analysis. We never store your content.

The report keeps the numbers and the playbook. The footage itself is removed as soon as scoring completes.

What stays is the report: the score, the timeline, the timestamped findings, and the playbook, so you can compare cuts and track your progress. What goes is the video file itself, removed from our servers the moment scoring completes.

Plans & quotas

Analyses per month, in plain numbers.

Start free, upgrade when you run out. Every tier gets the same report depth.

Quotas count analyses, not uploads: on paid tiers a short and a long each use one slot from their own pool, and the free analysis takes either format. Counters reset on the first of every month, and there is no expiry trick. What you see on the tier is what you get, every month.

Free

$0/ month

1 short or 1 long / mo

Score

Predict before you create. Score rates the idea while it is still a sentence, so you only produce the concepts worth your hours. Together they cover the two moments a video can still change: before you make it, and before you post it.
