Generate and choose a title

1. 01Add and verify your video

   In Creator Tools, find Video Title Optimizer and select Create Title. Paste your YouTube Video URL, then select Verify. Check Video Snapshot to confirm the correct video, adjust Project Title if you want a more recognizable name in history, then select Continue.

   TrendyTube uses the video's content to guide its suggestions. Project Title is the name for this request in your history; it does not rename the YouTube upload.

2. 02Choose your keyword approach

   Under Keyword Selection, choose how to guide the generated titles. Use the mode that suits your video and how much control you want over the keywords.

   Choose one keyword mode

   Pick Automatic Keywords

   TrendyTube researches keywords related to your video, evaluates available search and trend signals and prioritizes relevant phrases. Choose this when you want keywords found for you.

   Pick Manual Keywords

   Click Add Keyword, enter a phrase, choose Confirm, then check 1–5 confirmed keywords. Use this when you know which phrases you want in the titles.

   No Keywords

   Generate from the video's content and your title-writing settings without choosing keywords. Use this when you want to explore hooks or angles without keyword guidance.

   Understand automatic, manual and no-keyword modes

3. 03Choose a style and language

   Choose a writing style and language for the titles. These are separate decisions: you can match the channel's style and still choose English.

4. 04Adjust writing preferences if needed

   Open Advanced Settings → See More to refine the titles. Choose which aspect of the writing you want to control, or keep the defaults when they suit your video.

   Advanced title settings

   Title Type

   Set the appeal, such as Curiosity, Solution, Goal-Oriented or FOMO. Choose ANY (Default) to leave the angle open. This determines what kind of interest the headline should create, while Title Structure determines how that interest is expressed.

   Title Structure

   Set the framing: Direct Address, Storytelling, Questions, Numbers and Lists, or ANY (Default).

   Title Length

   Request Short, Medium, or Long titles.

   Formality

   Choose Conversational for a natural tone or Formal for a more polished voice.

5. 05Check the cost and generate

   Review the displayed credit estimate, available balance and source-video duration. Check that the video fits your plan's duration limit, then select Generate. In Titles history, wait for Completed and open the project; if it shows Needs attention, read the status message.

6. 06Compare the title alternatives

   Under Generated Titles (or Selected Title on a smaller screen), compare the alternatives. Check Character Count, Reading Score, Readability Summary, Formality Summary and Why It Works for help assessing length, clarity, tone and appeal.

   Where available, Keyword Momentum shows Trend Score, Recent Change, Last Day Searches and a Trend Graph. Use these details alongside your knowledge of the video and audience to choose a relevant title.
