My video walks through a numbered list of tips. Can I get a short for each one?

What happens on its own

After the polish, the narration is read once to find its structure. A video that walks through numbered points is treated as a list; any other video gets its natural sections.

• YouTube chapters. The description ends with a Chapters: block: 0:00 Intro, then one line per point with its number and title, and a wrap-up when there is one. YouTube turns those lines into chapters on the player. They only appear when YouTube would show them: at least three, each ten seconds or longer.
• One short per point. With the vertical output (or the pan & zoom one) ticked, the Shorts step cuts one clip per point instead of picking highlights. A ten-tip video gives ten shorts, each titled after its tip. A point longer than three minutes is cut at a sentence end inside the limit.

If you would rather have the highlight picks, untick One clip per point of a list on the Shorts step.

A title card before each point

On the Intro & outro step, tick A card before each point of a list. Every output then gets a short card at the start of each point: "NEXT UP, 2 OF 10" over the point's title, in your intro and outro's colours. Chapter card length sets how long it stays; two and a half seconds by default. This is part of the generated intro and outro feature, so it needs a plan that includes it.

Good to know

• A point that starts at the very top of the video gets no card; there is nothing to transition from.
• A video with cards in it is published without uploaded captions, the same as a video with inserted clips: the cards move the timeline. The subtitles burned into the vertical and pan & zoom versions are unaffected.
• If a point was split or merged wrongly, tell us from the project's support drawer; the reading can be tuned.
