What it does
A YouTube competitor analysis tool for long videos and Shorts
Add up to 50 YouTube channels you choose and Kadenza shows which long videos and Shorts did far better than that channel's usual. You get the title, the thumbnail, the views and the full transcript, so you can see the idea and the script behind a video that worked.
YouTube rewards ideas more than polish, and the fastest way to find good ideas is to look at what already broke out for channels like yours. The catch is the same as everywhere: a big channel's normal video looks like a hit next to yours. You need to compare each video with its own channel.
Long videos and Shorts, kept apart
Pick up to 50 channels. Kadenza splits long videos from Shorts, since they're different games, and gives every video an outlier score against that channel's usual. A 5× Short is one that got five times the channel's normal views.
The full script
Click into any video and read the transcript. That's where you see how the video opened, how long it took to get to the point and where the story turned. Our guide on reading a competitor's YouTube channel shows what to look for.
From their video to your next one
Hand the video's code to your own Claude or ChatGPT and ask for an outline or a full script in your voice. It can read the transcript, the numbers and what Kadenza knows about you, so the script starts from a proven idea and fits your channel. When it's recorded, you can schedule it to your own YouTube from the same calendar.
