ClipDetective joins your own private YouTube Studio data — real retention, real retention curves — to what's actually happening inside the video, so you see exactly where viewers leave and why. No public-data tool can do this; it only works with your own connected account.

These are the fastest-rising things creators search about their own videos. Each one is something ClipDetective measures directly — so you spend your time making the video, not guessing what to fix.
marks the one that needs your own connected YouTube Studio — a private, per-creator data source no public-data tool can read.
Growth figures are the rise in Google search interest (Google Trends). We track them so we always measure what creators are actually trying to solve.
Point us at a niche or your own channel. We do the measuring; you get the numbers.
* measured from a media file you supply — we don't download video, audio or captions from YouTube.
Your real retention curve, joined to what's happening in the video — thumbnails and titles, plus transcripts, scene cuts and audio energy when you supply the media file — so a drop has a reason, not just a dip.
“Viewers drop 47% — a new subject started around 2:26, 11 points below your usual.”Your video against the outperformers, metric by metric — where you sit in the cohort’s range, and which gaps are widest. Numbers, not opinions.
“Intro: you 12s · cohort 6s (2× the cohort).”Pick a niche or topic and get the numbers the winners share — concrete, measured metrics per creator from public data, with the cohort median and range for each. Speech and cut-level metrics need your own media, so they cover you, not them.
“7 of 8 horror creators publish under 8 minutes; median 12k views.”Stop guessing where you lost them. ClipDetective reads your own private Studio data and shows you exactly where retention dips and what's different about your best videos — numbers from your own channel, not public guesses.
