How to use Bulk Video Snapshot: a simple workflow
Bulk Video Snapshot is for when you already have a list of videos—competitors, a series, a playlist you exported—and you want one table to compare them instead of opening each watch page in a new tab. Paste the links, build the table, then scan the overview row or drill into the full metrics when one row looks interesting.
Who this is for
- Creators and editors lining up uploads from the same niche to see who is punching above their channel average.
- Researchers who need titles, dates, durations, and engagement-style columns in one place for notes or a report.
- Teams comparing a batch of candidates after a search or a spreadsheet handoff.
1. Paste your list, one video per line
Put each URL or video ID on its own line—plain text is fine. Empty lines and duplicates are handled for you: repeats of the same video collapse so you do not skew the table by accident.
If a line cannot be read as a video, it lands in Skipped lines with a short reason—fix the paste and run again rather than guessing which row failed.
2. Build the table
Use Build table and wait for the run to finish. Videos that cannot be loaded show as an error row with the ID and message so you know it is not a silent gap.
3. Optional: overall ranking
When you have at least one good row, Overall ranking scores videos against each other using a blend of metrics. Leave every checkbox empty to use the tool’s default blend, or tick the metrics that match your question (reach versus engagement-style signals, and so on). The rank is only meaningful for this batch—it is not a worldwide leaderboard.
You can download a ranking CSV when you need the ordered list elsewhere.
4. Read the overview, then expand
The main columns are meant for scanning: title, channel, duration, views, likes, comments, a channel-relative benchmark, and publish date. When you need category, language, caption availability, title and description lengths, hashtag counts, rubric-style scores, or channel totals, open All metrics on that row—same run, more detail on demand.
5. Export the full picture
Download CSV pulls the overview, expanded fields, and any skipped lines or errors into one file—handy when someone else needs the sheet or you want to keep an audit trail of what you pasted.
Open Bulk Video Snapshot
Start with three to five links you know well, confirm the overview matches your expectations, then scale up the list.
