Shorts

Shorts are short YouTube videos in a vertical format. They can also be posted on Tiktok or Instagram. Immanuelle posts them their youtube channel and Tiktok only.

Strategic differences
Shorts can be up to 60 seconds long on YouTube. On Tiktok they can be up to 3 minutes but all shorts will be made with the intention of being posted on YouTube too

Unlike long form videos they do not have a built in recommendation linking feature. That makes them a bit more difficult to use for session time, they rely on algorithmic recommendations.

Tiktok UI
Tiktok has a UI that allows for easy video creation. It also allows for easy addition of music which tends to get a video taken down on YouTube.

The majority of Immanuelle's current shorts were created with this program

OBS shorts by far underperform tiktok created shorts
 * First OBS tiktok
 * No Nut November Short

Shorts made through other means

 * 2014 Gamer Intro
 * Was made with an intro generation program
 * Drama alert intro
 * Edited from wider video

Landscape videos
Tiktok has the ability to make videos landscape. This turns out to be because any aspect ratio can be uploaded to tiktok and it is not an option in settings

Duets
Tiktok duets may be an effective means for growth. I have done zero research on them and never made a duet before

My initial attempts at duet creation suggest it is unfeasible as I need to use my camera rather than putting clever things in. Might be able to do a vtuber duet or something but it seems unlikely. Duets do not look like an effective means for promotion at the time

YouTube options
Youtube allows some kind of long form video integration I believe, however I have not figured out how to use it I'm convinced this does not actually exist

 * Drama alert intro*
 * Only have data on youtube right now
 * Lucky Star Short
 * Likely engaging because of other peoples content
