How are Shorts ideas different from TikTok ideas?

The research looks at YouTube Shorts and channels in your space, so the hooks and formats come from what works there. Many ideas travel, but the evidence is platform-specific.

Can I turn my long videos into Shorts?

Yes. Pick the strongest minute of a long video, cut it vertical in the editor and caption the takeaway.

Can AdAnt upload the Short for me?

Not yet. AdAnt publishes to TikTok and Instagram. Export the finished Short and upload it to YouTube yourself.
