Show HN: Publishub. An AI copilot for video creators and editors.

Solo developer Valmir, a self-taught developer and UGC creator in Salvador, Brazil, launched publishub, an AI editing copilot that analyzes uploaded Reels, TikToks and YouTube Shorts and returns a retention fix plan in about 3 minutes, flagging the second viewers are likely to leave and why. The tool accepts MP4, MOV or WEBM files up to 50 MB, requires no account or card, and produces notes for CapCut, Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve and InShot without connecting to the editor or altering the original file. Publishub also commits to verifiable predictions, citing an example where it forecast 65% retention at 0:09 and the creator's Insights showed 68%.

For people who edit Reels, TikToks and Shorts Upload your cut. In about 3 minutes publishub shows the second viewers are likely to leave, why, and what to trim, with notes for CapCut, Premiere or DaVinci.

No account · No card · Results in ~3 min

An illustrative example, not a real creator's data. With your video, the curve comes from your screenshot and the line from your transcript.

~3 min

from upload to fix plan #

Made for freelance video editors, UGC creators and creators who edit their own videos. Reels, TikTok and YouTube Shorts, in the editor you already use.

  • Know what to fix, and where.Every note points to a second and the line you were saying, not a generic tip like “improve your hook.”

  • Explain every cut.Each note comes with a reason: the intro runs long, an idea repeats, the shot sits still. You learn the pattern, and you can show a client why you cut.

  • Catch it before it ships.Run the cut through publishub before you post or deliver, not after the drop shows up in Insights or in the client's feedback.

  • Stay the editor.Nothing is cut without your OK and your original file never changes. Accept, skip or adjust every suggestion.

Your workflow

Works alongside your editor, not instead of it. #

No plugin to install and no new editor to learn. Export your video the way you already do, bring it to publishub and take the notes back to your app.

Captions, b-roll and re-recording stay in your own app, done your way. publishub doesn't connect to your editor or touch your project files.

MP4 · MOV · WEBM · ≤ 50 MB

The bet

A bet you can check. #

Every "improve your hook" tip is impossible to verify. publishub commits: it points to the second of the drop and predicts how much retention should rise after you re-record.

You republish, open Insights and paste the real number. It hit, or it didn't. Over time you build an accuracy score and learn what works with your audience, not everyone else's.

What is publishub? #

An AI editing copilot for short videos with speech, made for freelance editors, UGC creators and creators who edit their own videos. You upload a Reel, TikTok or Short and publishub watches it second by second: it transcribes what you say, measures s and scene changes, and leaves editing notes with the second and the reason for each one. It doesn't edit on its own or replace your editor. You decide what changes.

What do I need to send? #

Just the Reel's video file (MP4, MOV or WEBM, up to 500 MB). You get the action plan from the video alone. If you also send the retention screenshot from Instagram Insights, publishub reads your real curve and adds a prediction you can check.

Which editing apps does it work with? #

Any app that exports MP4, MOV or WEBM: CapCut, Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, your phone's built-in editor and so on. publishub doesn't plug into these apps. It works with the file you export (up to 500 MB), and you apply the notes back in your editor.

What's free? #

You can test one video without an account and see the second people most likely leave, with the line you were saying. With a free account, your first analyses come complete: action plan, cut suggestions and rewritten hooks. After that, each analysis still shows where the video drops and its first recommendations; the full plan comes with any paid plan.

What happens to the videos I upload? #

They're kept in private storage, reachable only by your account or our server through short-lived links. They're used to generate your analysis (the audio and frames are processed by Google Gemini for that), never sold and never used to train models of our own. Deleting your account removes your videos, screenshots and analyses right away.

Is it a subscription? #

Yes, monthly. Creator (US$ 12/month) and Pro (US$ 24/month) are subscriptions you can cancel anytime from your account, with no fee. And you can start for free.

You read this far. See what to fix before you post or deliver. #

Send the cut you're about to post or deliver, or a video that already flopped. In about 3 minutes you'll see the second, the line and what to change.
