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.

Template:Short is the template used for their documentation

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

 * I made a 2014 style channel intro to prove I’m a real gamer girl
 * Was made with an intro generation program

Tiktok options
Tiktok has the ability to make videos landscape. It is unclear how but this video is a demonstration of it

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

Shorts ranked by success

 * I made a 2014 style channel intro to prove I’m a real gamer girl*
 * Notably the only YouTube short and doing quite well
 * Unlikely to be replicatable, but the Drama alert intro might work
 * Not a source of long term inspiration, but weird ironic ideas seem to work well
