What the score tells you
Hook
Whether the first seconds grab attention - the single biggest driver of whether a short gets watched or scrolled past.
Emotion
Whether there's humor, surprise, or relatability that makes someone feel something and share.
Clarity
Whether the moment makes sense on its own, without the rest of the video for context.
Value
Whether the moment is packed with insight or value, not filler - the substance that makes a clip worth saving.
Quotability
Whether there's a line memorable enough to caption a repost with - the thing that travels.
Questions
Will this tell me if my Short will get views?
It gives an honest read on the moment's viral ingredients - especially the hook, which decides most Shorts. No tool can promise views, but the score tells you which Shorts are worth posting.
Is it free and signup-free?
Yes - scoring a clip at clipai.online/score is free and needs no account. Turning long videos into Shorts is the 14-day free trial.
Does it work on horizontal video?
Score any short clip. To convert a horizontal YouTube video into 9:16 Shorts, ClipAI auto-reframes with speaker tracking inside the app.
