Best Practices

Long-form Videos (16:9)

  • Hook viewers early: First 5-10 seconds are critical for retention
  • Consistent pacing: Maintain visual interest with scene changes every 5-10 seconds
  • Clear structure: Use visual chapters and segment markers
  • End screens: Design for YouTube's end screen overlay (last 20 seconds)
  • Thumbnails: Create compelling 1280x720 thumbnails that stand out

YouTube Shorts (9:16)

  • Vertical optimization: Design for full-screen mobile viewing
  • Instant hook: Capture attention in the first 1-2 seconds
  • Loop-friendly: Create seamless loops when possible
  • Bold text: Use large, readable captions for sound-off viewing
  • Keep it snappy: Even though 3 minutes is allowed, 30-60 seconds often performs best

Thumbnails

  • High contrast: Use colors that pop against YouTube's white/dark UI
  • Readable text: Limit to 3-5 words maximum
  • Faces work: Expressive faces increase click-through rates
  • Consistent branding: Maintain channel aesthetic across thumbnails

Prompt Tips for YouTube Videos

When creating YouTube content, include these details in your prompt:

  1. Format: Specify long-form (16:9) or Shorts (9:16)
  2. Resolution: 1920x1080 for videos, 1280x720 for thumbnails
  3. Duration: Be specific about video length
  4. Style: Describe the visual aesthetic (cinematic, minimal, energetic, etc.)
  5. Content Type: Faceless, tutorial, review, compilation, etc.
  6. Target Audience: Who is this video for?
  7. Text/Captions: Whether to include text overlays
  8. Music/Mood: Describe the audio atmosphere

Example Prompt Structure

"Create a [duration] [format] YouTube [video type] about [topic].
Include [visual elements] with [style/aesthetic].
Target audience: [demographic].
[Additional requirements like text overlays, music style, transitions, etc.]
Resolution: [1920x1080 or 1080x1920]"

Mode Selection

Ask your users before generating:

"Do you want fast & cheap, or high quality?"

Mode Best For Speed Quality
max Final videos, published content, high production value Slower Highest
eco Quick drafts, concept testing, storyboard visualization Faster Good

Multi-Turn Creative Iteration

Use session_id to iterate on video content:

# Initial video concept
curl -X POST https://sense.eachlabs.run/chat \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $EACHLABS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Accept: text/event-stream" \
  -d '{
    "message": "Create a 30-second YouTube Short about morning productivity tips",
    "session_id": "productivity-short-001"
  }'

# Iterate based on feedback
curl -X POST https://sense.eachlabs.run/chat \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $EACHLABS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Accept: text/event-stream" \
  -d '{
    "message": "Make the transitions faster and add more energetic text animations. Also add a stronger hook in the first 2 seconds.",
    "session_id": "productivity-short-001"
  }'

# Create thumbnail for the video
curl -X POST https://sense.eachlabs.run/chat \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $EACHLABS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Accept: text/event-stream" \
  -d '{
    "message": "Create a thumbnail for this video at 1280x720. Make it eye-catching with bold text saying \"5 AM ROUTINE\" and show a sunrise with productivity imagery.",
    "session_id": "productivity-short-001"
  }'

Content Series Generation

Generate consistent content for a video series:

# Episode 1
curl -X POST https://sense.eachlabs.run/chat \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $EACHLABS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Accept: text/event-stream" \
  -d '{
    "message": "Create episode 1 of a \"World Mysteries\" series - focus on the Bermuda Triangle. 2 minutes, dramatic documentary style, 16:9 at 1920x1080.",
    "session_id": "world-mysteries-series",
    "mode": "max"
  }'

# Episode 2 (same session for style consistency)
curl -X POST https://sense.eachlabs.run/chat \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "X-API-Key: $EACHLABS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Accept: text/event-stream" \
  -d '{
    "message": "Create episode 2 about Stonehenge. Keep the same visual style, intro, and format as episode 1.",
