Using the YouTube SEO pack

Alongside the video, every project generates the metadata YouTube actually ranks on: a title, a long description, tags, hashtags and a thumbnail. You'll find them on the Export step, all editable in place (edits save automatically). The text is written in the language of your title or idea, or in English when that's unclear.

What's in the pack

• Title — 60–95 characters, keyword-first, in the style that wins mood-music search ("Rain Sounds for Sleeping — Cozy Cabin Thunderstorm, 10 Hours").
• Description — a search-friendly long description with keywords woven in naturally, plus chapters from your real timeline (Sound videos have none). As soon as the video is ready, the chapters — and the tracklist in the description, unless you rewrote it — move to the exact second each track starts.
• Tags — 10–20 tags, ready to paste into YouTube Studio.
• Hashtags — 3–5 of them.
• Thumbnail — a picture from your video or a new AI picture, with optional text you design yourself (see below). It's a 16:9 2K JPEG under 2 MB.

Designing the thumbnail

The Thumbnail panel on the Export step works the same way in Music, Lite and Sound mode.

• Pick a picture from the strip: pictures from your video, or New AI picture. Your first AI thumbnail picture is included, and text on it is free.
• Type your text — 1–4 words read best.
• Choose a look: Classic, Script or Modern. More fonts opens 16 extra fonts, all with Cyrillic.
• Add a second line if you want one: a small line (Second line (optional)) above or below the title — one button switches its place — with its own font (Auto or one of 6 fonts).
• Drag the text on the preview to move it. Center guides appear while you drag; when the text is centered, they light up and the text snaps into place.
• Press Add text to put the text on the thumbnail. Download gives you the thumbnail with the text on it.

The whole design — text, fonts, second line and position — is saved with the project automatically and comes back when you reopen it.

Tips before you publish

• Keep the duration in the title for long videos ("10 Hours", "1 Hour") — it's one of the most-searched patterns in this niche.
• Front-load the first description line with your main keyword; that's what shows in search snippets.
• Regenerate the SEO pack after big idea changes so metadata matches the final content.
