YouTube Shorts Trend Finder: The Shorts Pulling Views in Your Niche
A YouTube Shorts trend finder searches Shorts for the videos in your niche with the most views, so you can see which formats and channels lead before you post. AdAnt's tool sends your niche to AdAnt Studio's agents, which search YouTube Shorts, keep the most-viewed videos, and report the channel, views, format and hook behind each one. The report ends with Shorts ideas for your own product.

YouTube Shorts Trend Finder FAQ
Tips for a better result
- Shorts that explain or test something tend to keep views longer. Look at the format, not only the topic.
- A channel with long videos and Shorts on the same topic is a strong sign of a lasting niche.
- Compare with the TikTok Viral Video Finder to see which formats work on both.
Is the YouTube Shorts trend finder free?
Yes, you can try it free with the credits a new AdAnt account gets. A research run uses roughly 20 credits, and AdAnt Studio shows the cost before anything is generated. On the Free plan a report shows its summary and top strategy; the full report is part of a paid plan.
Does it look at long YouTube videos?
It searches Shorts. Ask the agents in your Studio task if you also want long videos from the same channels.
How recent are the Shorts?
YouTube search gives no upload dates, so the report shows each Short's views and marks its age as unverified.
What happens when I press the button?
AdAnt Studio opens with your brief as a new task, and its agents run the research there. The report lands in that task, so you can leave and come back to it.
Can I make Shorts with AdAnt?
Yes. In the same Studio task, ask the agents to turn an idea into a vertical video with an AI presenter or your own footage.
