Analyze your first video

There are two ways to analyze in fypnow. Pick whichever fits — a single video is the fastest taste, a creator is the path to ongoing insight.

Option 1 — A single video (by URL)

Instant and zero setup — you don't need to connect or track anything first.

1. Click Analyze video in the sidebar.
2. Keep the mode on Single video and paste any public TikTok or YouTube Shorts URL.
3. Hit Analyze video. A job starts in the background — you'll see a progress pill in the top bar.
4. When it finishes, you'll get a toast. Open it to see the full breakdown.

YouTube Shorts links

A Short gets the same breakdown as a TikTok and uses one analysis from your catalog, the same as a TikTok. Any of these link formats works:

• youtube.com/shorts/VIDEO_ID
• youtube.com/watch?v=VIDEO_ID
• youtu.be/VIDEO_ID

Option 2 — A whole creator (by username)

Analyze a creator's catalog at once. This is the bigger lever: a tracked creator refreshes daily and feeds breakout alerts, so you spot patterns and winners over time — not just one video.

1. Click Analyze video in the sidebar and switch the mode to Creator.
2. Enter a public TikTok username and choose how many recent videos to pull.
3. Start the scrape — the catalog builds in the background.

Creator mode is TikTok-only for now — to study a YouTube channel, analyze its Shorts one link at a time. Full details and what tracking unlocks are in Scrape a creator.

What you get back

Every analyzed video includes:

• Hook score — how strong the opening is, 0–100.
• Scene pacing — a proxy for retention, scene by scene.
• Hook timeline — the first five seconds, frame by frame.
• 3 fixes — the highest-impact changes for next time.
• Content fingerprint — format, signal and production tags.
