# quso.ai > quso.ai (formerly Vidyo.ai) is an AI video clipping and social media tool. It turns long videos, podcasts and streams into short, captioned clips, then publishes or schedules them to social platforms. The free plan gives 75 credits a month with no card; paid plans are Lite $29/month (100 credits), Essential $39/month (300 credits), Growth $49/month (600 credits). This is the full-text version of https://quso.ai/llms.txt, generated from the quso.ai site's content and price files when the site was built (2026-10-23). Prices are in US dollars. ## What quso.ai does quso.ai takes a long recording and proposes short clips from it. You paste a link or upload a video; the AI finds candidate moments, gives each one a virality score out of 100, reframes it to vertical and adds word-level captions. You review each clip, trim it, apply a caption style or brand template, then download it as an MP4, publish it, or schedule it. The same upload also produces 16:9 chapters for long-form video, an editable word-level transcript, and AI Writer text (summary, show notes, timestamps, LinkedIn posts, X threads, newsletters). The editor handles trims, text and B-roll. Filler-word and silence removal start on the Essential plan, and CutMagic detects scene changes in multi-camera footage. Scheduling covers 7 platforms: TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, X, YouTube and Pinterest. It starts on the Essential plan. The free plan connects TikTok only. Clipping works on video. An audio-only file cannot be clipped; the AI Writer accepts audio files. quso.ai was called Vidyo.ai until January 2025. The rebrand kept the same app, team, logins, plans and projects. - [Home](https://quso.ai/): Turn long videos, podcasts and streams into short, captioned clips. - [Features](https://quso.ai/features): Overview of the clipping, captioning, editing and scheduling features. - [Vidyo.ai is now quso.ai](https://quso.ai/vidyo-ai): What changed in the January 2025 rebrand: the name.

The main program's source is the quso.ai proprietary dataset (508,587 posts, 5 platforms). The research hub lists its scale as 723.2M views analyzed, 508K posts measured, 22.2M engagements, 22.6M minutes watched, 212.2K followers gained, 1,900+ creators, 81 countries, 5 platforms. Figures are medians on matured posts, meaning posts live for at least 14 days, never means. The methodology page describes the panel as about 508,000 posts from 1,900+ creators across 80+ countries over a 12-month window. The Short-Form Clip Benchmarks 2026 report uses a different dataset: aggregate, de-identified quso.ai product data on 1,770,924 AI-generated clips, 351,491 exports and 181,902 posts. It measures what creators export, edit and post, not audience views. Licence: the research is published under CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/).

It's Overhyped https://quso.ai/research/best-time-to-post-on-tiktok TikToks published between 5PM and midnight in the creator's local time earn the most median views. The edge is smaller than most guides claim. The best hour beats the worst by about 86 percent, and the day of the week changes results by roughly 6 percent. - Q: What is the best time to post on TikTok? A: Evenings, 5PM to midnight in your local time, earn the highest median views in our data. The single strongest hour sits around 6 to 7PM. - Q: Does the day of the week matter on TikTok? A: Very little. The best day beats the worst by about 6 percent, so day selection is minor next to posting hour and audience fit. - Q: When is the worst time to post on TikTok? A: Late night into early morning, roughly 2 to 5AM local time, returns the lowest median views. - Q: How do I find my own best time? A: Open TikTok Studio, go to Analytics, then Followers, and read the active-hours chart. Cross-reference it with the publish times of your own top posts, then test two windows for 14 days. - Q: Should I post exactly at my peak hour? A: Publish about 60 to 90 minutes before your audience peaks, so the video collects early engagement as more followers come online. ### How Long Should a YouTube Short Be? Data https://quso.ai/research/youtube-shorts-length Across 108,000 matured YouTube Shorts, the 11 to 20 second band earns the most median views, a median of 901. Views fall off in both directions, so the answer is not as short as possible. - Q: How long can a YouTube Short be in 2025? A: Up to 3 minutes. YouTube raised the limit from 60 seconds to 3 minutes in October 2024. Any vertical or square video 3 minutes or under is eligible for the Shorts feed. - Q: What is the best length for a YouTube Short? A: In our data, 11 to 20 second Shorts earn the most median views, a median of 901, which is the peak of any length band and about 2.6 times the 31 to 45 second band. Ultra-short Shorts under 10 seconds underperform the 11 to 20 second band, so the answer is not simply as short as possible. - Q: Do shorter YouTube Shorts always get more views? A: No. There is a sweet spot. Median views peak at 11 to 20 seconds and fall off in both directions: very short Shorts under 10 seconds earn 514, and long Shorts drop steeply, with 90 second-plus Shorts earning 51. Aim for the 11 to 30 second band. ### How Long Are Instagram Reels? Limits + Reach Data https://quso.ai/research/how-long-are-instagram-reels Instagram Reels can run up to 3 minutes, raised from 90 seconds in 2024. The bigger lever is the format itself: Reels reach about 6.1 times more accounts than in-feed posts. - Q: How long can an Instagram Reel be in 2025? A: Up to 3 minutes. You can record up to 90 seconds directly in the Instagram app, or upload a pre-edited Reel up to 3 minutes long. Reels over 3 minutes are not supported. - Q: Do Reels get more reach than regular posts? A: Yes, by a wide margin. In quso.ai's dataset, Reels reach about 6.1 times more accounts than in-feed photo or carousel posts, a median of 182 views against 30. That format gap is the single biggest reach lever on Instagram. - Q: What is the best length for an Instagram Reel? A: Instagram does not expose Reel duration in the data we measure, so we do not publish a Reels-specific length benchmark. As a cross-platform guide, our YouTube Shorts study found an 11 to 20 second sweet spot, a reasonable starting point. Keep Reels tight unless the content needs the time. ### Short-Form Clip Benchmarks 2026: 1.8M AI Clips https://quso.ai/research/short-form-benchmarks-2026 We analysed 1.77 million AI-generated clips, 351,000 exports and 182,000 posts. Where a clip sits in the list predicts whether it gets exported far better than its length does, 86% of exports keep the AI's suggested length, and most of the 726 accounts that publish through quso post to several platforms. Data: Based on aggregate, de-identified quso.ai product data: 1,770,924 AI-generated clips (Jan 1 to Aug 31, 2026), 351,491 clip exports and 181,902 published posts (Jan 1 to Sep 25, 2026). Measures creator decisions (export, edit, post), not audience views. Every reported group covers at least 50 accounts. - Q: What is the most common length for an AI-generated short clip? A: In our data, the median AI clip runs 40.6 seconds, and 70% fall between 30 and 60 seconds. The median clip that creators actually export is almost the same, 41.6 seconds. Based on 1,770,924 AI clips created between January and August 2026. - Q: Does clip length affect which clips creators export? A: Barely. Creators exported 14.4% of clips under 30 seconds, 15.6% at 30 to 45 seconds, 16.2% at 45 to 60 seconds and 15.6% at 60 seconds or longer. The small differences do not hold when each creator is weighted equally, so we read it as no consistent length effect. - Q: Do creators change the length of AI clips before exporting them? A: Mostly not. 86.2% of 351,491 exports kept the AI's suggested length to within one second. 7.2% were extended, by a median of 15.5 seconds, and 6.6% were shortened, by a median of 10.7 seconds. - Q: Does this report measure views or engagement? A: No. It measures creator decisions: which clips were exported, how they were edited, and where they were posted. It does not include views, likes or retention. Treat these numbers as benchmarks of creator behaviour, not of audience performance. ### How to Go Viral on TikTok? The Real Odds https://quso.ai/research/how-to-go-viral-on-tiktok Going viral is rarer than it looks. In quso.ai's dataset of 508,000 posts, only about 1 in 6 TikToks clear 1,000 views, 1 in 35 clear 10,000, and just 1 in 358 reach 100,000. The lever is volume, hooks, and retention. - Q: What are the odds of going viral on TikTok? A: Steep. In quso.ai's dataset, about 1 in 6 matured posts clears 1,000 views, roughly 1 in 35 clears 10,000, and only about 1 in 358 reaches 100,000. Virality is the exception, not a repeatable outcome, which is why consistent posting beats betting on a single hit. - Q: How do you actually go viral on TikTok? A: There is no switch, but the levers are clear: a strong hook in the first second, high retention, and volume. Eighty-five percent of TikTok views come from the For You page, so every post is a fresh audition. More quality posts means more chances to break out. - Q: Does posting more increase your chances of going viral? A: Yes, materially. Because your total reach is driven by a handful of breakout clips, each additional post is a new draw. Creators who post 200+ times a year accumulate about 169 times more total views than occasional posters, without any penalty to per-post performance. ### TikTok Findings: What 508K Posts Reveal https://quso.ai/research/tiktok-data-findings Eighty-five percent of TikTok views come from the For You page. Only 1 in 6 posts clears 1,000 views. And the short-vertical format advantage extends across platforms. - Q: What percentage of TikTok views come from the For You page? A: In quso.ai's dataset, 85.1% of TikTok views come from the For You page, far more than from followers, search, or profile visits. It is why a small account can go viral and why every post is effectively a fresh audition for the algorithm. - Q: How rare is it to go viral on TikTok? A: Rarer than most assume. In our data, only about 1 in 6 matured TikTok posts clears 1,000 views, roughly 1 in 35 clears 10,000, and about 1 in 358 reaches 100,000. The virality ladder is steep, so consistency matters more than chasing any single hit. - Q: Do these TikTok findings apply to other platforms? A: The pattern does. On Instagram, Reels reach about 6.1 times more accounts than in-feed posts. On YouTube, the top 10% of Shorts hold 91% average view-through versus 40% for everyone else. The short-vertical format advantage and the role of early retention are cross-platform forces. ### Do Hashtags Help? 60K Posts Say Not Much https://quso.ai/research/do-hashtags-help Across tens of thousands of matured posts on TikTok and Instagram, more hashtags did not mean more views. Posts with zero hashtags matched or beat posts with several, and the 7 to 10 hashtag range was the lowest-performing band. - Q: Do hashtags increase views on TikTok or Instagram? A: Not reliably. In our data, posts with zero hashtags performed as well as or better than posts with many, and the 7 to 10 hashtag range was the lowest-performing on both platforms. Hashtags are not the lever creators believe them to be. The hook and content matter far more. - Q: How many hashtags should I use? A: If anything, fewer. The data shows no payoff from stacking hashtags, and a clear dip in the 7 to 10 range on TikTok, where median views drop to 140 against 304 for zero-hashtag posts. A handful of genuinely relevant tags is fine. Padding your caption with ten is, at best, neutral. - Q: Why does the 7 to 10 hashtag range underperform? A: We do not have a definitive mechanistic answer. One possibility is that heavy hashtag use correlates with other lower-quality signals, such as thin copy or keyword-stuffed captions. The algorithm reads engagement, not tag count, so hashtags are not an independent reach lever. ### How the TikTok Algorithm Works: FYP Data https://quso.ai/research/how-the-tiktok-algorithm-works The TikTok algorithm is, overwhelmingly, the For You page. In quso.ai data, 85.1% of all TikTok views come from the For You feed. Everything else barely registers. - Q: Where do TikTok views come from? A: Overwhelmingly the For You page. In quso.ai's data, the FYP accounts for about 85.1% of views, with the personal profile around 2%, search around 1.1%, other sources 1.9%, and the following feed at 0.3%. TikTok is a discovery engine, not a follower-feed platform. - Q: Does follower count matter on TikTok? A: Far less than most assume. Because 85% of views come from the For You page, distribution goes to people who do not follow you. Performance is decided per post, not by your audience size. A small account can outperform a large one on any given video. - Q: What signals does the TikTok algorithm use? A: Completion rate, re-watch rate, shares, and saves in the first hour. TikTok shows a new video to a small test batch of non-followers. If those signals are strong, it pushes wider. Follower count and hashtags are not primary inputs. ### Do Emojis Increase Views? The Data Says No https://quso.ai/research/do-emojis-increase-views Across matured posts on TikTok and Instagram, captions without emojis earned more median views than captions with them: 357 versus 228 on TikTok. Emojis are not a reach lever. - Q: Do emojis increase engagement on social media? A: Our data suggests not. On both TikTok and Instagram, posts with emoji-free captions earned more median views than posts using emojis. Emojis may fit your brand voice, but they are not a performance lever. Do not add them expecting more reach. - Q: Should I use emojis in my captions? A: Use them if they suit your voice, but do not rely on them to boost views. The data shows no reach benefit and a consistent edge for plain captions. What the caption says, and the hook in the first second, matters far more than whether it has emojis. - Q: Why do emoji-free captions perform better? A: Probably correlation rather than causation. Creators who rely heavily on emojis may also use other lower-quality signals like keyword-stuffed captions or weaker hooks. The emoji itself is unlikely to be the mechanism. Either way, the caption character to spend energy on is the first line, not the emoji. ### How Often to Post on TikTok? The Data https://quso.ai/research/how-often-to-post-on-tiktok Posting more on TikTok does not tank each post. Median views per post stay roughly flat whether a creator posts 10 times or 200 in a year, while total reach compounds by about 169 times. - Q: How often should I post on TikTok? A: As often as you can sustain without dropping quality. Our data shows no per-post penalty for posting more. Median views per post stay roughly stable across creators who post rarely or frequently, while total reach compounds dramatically with volume. Consistency beats frequency hacks. - Q: Does posting more on TikTok reduce each post's views? A: No. In our dataset, creators who posted 200 or more times had similar median views per post to those who posted far less, but vastly more total reach. Posting more does not dilute your account; it compounds it. - Q: What posting frequency should I aim for? A: Whatever cadence you can hold with good quality. The data does not reveal a magic number. It shows that the creators who post consistently and at high volume end up with dramatically more total reach. The limit is not the algorithm; it is your content pipeline. ### Best Video Hooks: 121K Hooks Ranked by Performance https://quso.ai/research/best-hooks-for-short-form We classified 121,000 real video hooks into archetypes and ranked each by median views. Social-proof openers lead at 232; authority-stake hooks land last at 177. The spread is 31%, real but modest. - Q: What is the best type of hook for short-form video? A: In our data, social-proof and fame-drop hooks, leading with a recognizable name or result, performed best at a median of 232 views. Personal-revelation and product-reveal hooks were close behind. Authority-stake and direct-command hooks were the weakest at 177 and 182. - Q: Does the hook type really matter? A: Yes, but choosing the right archetype is a smaller lever than having a strong hook at all. The gap between the best and worst archetypes is about 31%. The bigger failure is a weak or slow opening regardless of type. Lead with something that earns the next second. - Q: How many hooks were analyzed in this study? A: 121,820 hooks across short-form videos, classified into 11 archetypes using AI. The study covers multiple platforms and content categories. ### Social Media Engagement Rate Benchmarks https://quso.ai/research/social-media-engagement-rate-benchmarks A good engagement rate is platform-specific. TikTok's median sits at 2.26%, Instagram at 1.39%, YouTube at 1.14%, Facebook at 0.99%. These are medians on 219,000 matured posts, not inflated averages. - Q: What is a good engagement rate on social media? A: It depends on the platform. By our median benchmarks, a good rate is roughly 2.3% on TikTok, 1.4% on Instagram, 1.1% on YouTube, and 1% on Facebook. Compare yourself to the right platform benchmark, not a blended average. - Q: How is engagement rate calculated? A: Total engagements (likes, comments, shares, saves) divided by reach or followers, as a percentage. We report it on matured posts, each live at least 14 days, for a consistent and comparable figure across platforms. - Q: Why are these benchmarks lower than others I have seen? A: Because we report the median, not the mean. Averages are inflated by a handful of viral posts and overstate what a typical post achieves. The median reflects the result a normal post can realistically expect. ### What's a Good Video Retention Rate? https://quso.ai/research/video-retention-benchmarks For short-form video, the median post holds about 45% average view-through. A good rate is clearly above that. The top 10% of Shorts hold 91%, meaning nearly every viewer watches to the end. - Q: What is a good average view duration or retention rate? A: For short-form, the median is around 45% average view-through, so a good rate is comfortably above that. The top 10% of Shorts in our data held about 91%, meaning most viewers watched nearly the whole clip. Above 50 to 60% is solid; the best clips approach 90% and above. - Q: Why does retention matter so much? A: Because the algorithm reads it as the clearest signal of quality. The gap between the top 10% (91%) and everyone else (40%) is enormous, and completion plus re-watch rate are what convince platforms to push a clip to more viewers. Reach is downstream of retention. - Q: How do I improve my video retention rate? A: Two moves do most of the work. A stronger hook in the first second, since most retention is lost there. And a tighter cut, removing dead air, slow setups, and padding. Lead with the payoff and keep length in the sweet spot for the platform. ## How quso.ai compares Each summary is the verdict published on the linked comparison page, quoted as written. quso.ai wrote these pages, so "we" and "our" mean quso.ai.
