Render and publish kit

Render

In Render, pick 720p or 1080p and Draft, Standard or High quality. A check runs before (missing files, space) and after (black frames, silence). Render again reuses everything already made, so it's fast.

Thumbnails

• Make 3 thumbnails: 1280×720, each a different shot from your video.
• 2–4 big words that add to your title, with the key word in yellow.
• The bottom-right corner stays clear for YouTube's time badge.
• Upload all 3 to YouTube's Test & Compare and let viewers choose.

Shorts and Reels

Choose 2–5 vertical 9:16 clips (20–58 s), cut on sentence boundaries, with captions and hashtags. Auto Video makes 3 by itself.

Title, description and tags

The Publish to YouTube panel gives a title plus other title ideas, a description with chapters from the real narration timings, 12–20 tags and one short credit line. Each has a copy button, and all of it is saved in youtube.txt next to the video.
