Does AECharts export a real MP4 file I can upload to YouTube?

Yes. AECharts exports a real MP4 file you download and own — not a shareable link or web embed. Upload directly to YouTube Shorts, combine with other footage, or keep it for later.

What video dimensions does YouTube Shorts require?

YouTube Shorts require 9:16 vertical format at 1080×1920 resolution, under 60 seconds. AECharts exports in this exact format — no cropping, resizing, or reformatting needed.

Can animated charts help my YouTube Shorts get more views?

Yes. Animated charts hold viewer attention longer than static images because each reveal gives a reason to keep watching. YouTube rewards high retention, and progressive data animations consistently outperform static slides for watch time.

Do I need video editing software?

No. The entire workflow — paste data, customize, export — happens in the browser. AECharts produces a finished MP4 ready to upload. If you want to combine it with other footage, you can do that in YouTube's built-in editor after uploading.

What chart types work best in a 60-second Short?

Bar chart races are the most viral format — rankings changing over time are inherently watchable. Line charts work well for a single trend with a clear payoff at the end. Pie charts work best when the proportions are surprising. Pick based on what your data actually says.
