Short Video Creative Audit

Understand the creative. Then improve your own.

Upload a short video. Narrascout reads its picture and audio to map the hook, promise, beats, proof, payoff and CTA—then turn the findings into original directions for your next script.

MP4 / MOV · up to 3 minutes · owned or authorized material

A source-backed timeline

Every kind of evidence stays in its lane.

A transcript can tell you what was said. It cannot prove what appeared on screen. Narrascout keeps those inputs separate.

HEARD

Spoken lines

Timestamped claims, hooks, narration and CTA language.

SEEN

Video observations

Visual findings from the analysis video, with local frames for your review.

INFERENCE

Creative judgment

An interpretation of how the pieces may work, clearly labeled.

UNAVAILABLE

Missing data

Visual gaps, campaign performance and other limits stay visible.

About the Lunch visuals
The public sample is presented as a generated keyframe storyboard, not a finished commercial. It has no recorded speech; planned voiceover is script evidence, not Heard audio. Its stills do not prove a physical demonstration or campaign result.

Inspect actual generated frames

Check the visual source, not a text description of it.

These are decoded frames from the underlying animatic. They show the intended composition, not a real packing action or physical measurement.

From reference to original

Borrow a decision, not somebody else's lines.

After the audit, supply your own audience, platform, offer and required claims. Generate distinct directions that preserve a useful structural choice without reproducing the reference wording.

Technical boundaries

The analysis video and review frames play different roles. Sampled review frames are not exhaustive shot detection; short shots and visual details can be missed.

Current first-version boundaries

The audit is deliberately narrow so the output can be checked.

What inputs are supported?

MP4 or MOV uploads up to three minutes and 100 MB. A pasted transcript is optional when the video engine is configured. Public-platform link import is not part of this release.

Is it frame-by-frame analysis?

No. The video engine processes the analysis video at the configured FPS, with separate review frames. It is not exhaustive cut detection. Very short shots and visual details may be missed and should be reviewed against the source.

Can it tell whether an ad will win?

No. It evaluates creative choices and does not predict retention, CTR, ROAS or sales.

Can I upload a competitor's video?

Upload only material you own or are authorized to analyze. Analysis does not grant reuse or paid-media rights.
