1. Pick the right source
Use a source you have the right to study. Public links work best when the original post is available without a private login. Upload is the right path when you have the file locally or the source platform blocks a clean pull. Supported sources:- YouTube
- TikTok
- X
- Direct file upload
2. Wait for the report
Most short videos finish in about 60-90 seconds. Longer videos and batch jobs can take more time. You can leave the page; finished reports stay available from your analyses list and Library.3. Read it in order
Start with the fastest path:1
Read the logline
The top of the report tells you what the video is selling, who it is for, and what kind of format it belongs to.
2
Open Script
Read the hook, re-hooks, emotional arc, beat sheet, CTAs, and voice-over notes.
3
Open The Cuts
Watch the real shot sequence. The technique titles become your first production outline.
4
Check Blueprint, Sound, and Cast & World
Use these layers to understand pacing, visual system, music/SFX, recurring people, locations, props, and isolation options.
4. Save what matters
Star the teardown or any important media so it lands in your Library. Put files in Folders when you need a durable location. Use Collections (saved filters) when you are building a living reference view for a launch, category, client, or campaign. Open Canvas separately when you want to compose those references on a board.Library overview
