What video dimensions work for YouTube Shorts?

YouTube Shorts require 9:16 vertical format at 1080x1920 resolution, under 60 seconds. AECharts exports in this exact format, ready to upload as a Short without any editing.

How do I explain data clearly in under 60 seconds?

AECharts animations reveal data progressively, making complex information easy to follow. The smooth motion guides viewers through your story naturally, even in short-form content.

Can animated charts help my YouTube Shorts get more views?

Yes. Animated charts increase watch time and retention, which YouTube's algorithm rewards. Educational content with clear visuals tends to perform well in Shorts.

Do I need video editing software to add charts to my Shorts?

No. AECharts exports complete animated chart videos as MP4. Upload directly to YouTube Shorts or combine with other footage in YouTube's built-in editor.

What types of charts work best for educational YouTube Shorts?

Line charts work great for trends and growth over time. Bar charts excel at comparisons and rankings. Pie charts are perfect for showing proportions. Choose based on your data story.

Why Static Charts Fail in YouTube Shorts

YouTube Shorts compete with millions of videos for attention. Static charts don't hold viewers long enough to explain your data. Here's why animation works better:

Static images don't guide the viewer through your data story
YouTube's algorithm prioritizes watch time and retention metrics
Animated reveals make complex data easy to follow in short-form content
