|

|
||||
## Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
### Video Won't Upload
|
||||
- Check file format (MP4 recommended)
|
||||
- Check file size (max 256GB or 12 hours)
|
||||
- Try re-encoding with Handbrake
|
||||
- Use different browser
|
||||
|
||||
### Copyright Claim
|
||||
- Use royalty-free music only
|
||||
- YouTube Audio Library is safe
|
||||
- Dispute if you have rights
|
||||
- Replace audio if needed
|
||||
|
||||
### Low CTR (Click-Through Rate)
|
||||
- Test different thumbnails
|
||||
- A/B test titles
|
||||
- Check if thumbnail is clear at small sizes
|
||||
- Add more contrast
|
||||
|
||||
### Low Retention
|
||||
- Hook viewers in first 15 seconds
|
||||
- Add pattern interrupts (visual changes)
|
||||
- Keep pacing tight
|
||||
- Remove slow sections
