Measure Performance of AI Videos

Measuring the performance of AI-generated videos is essential for maximizing return on investment (ROI) and understanding audience engagement. Visionary provides a comprehensive suite of metrics and tools on iOS, including view tracking, audience retention charts, and A/B testing capabilities. By following best practices—such as keeping clips under 15 seconds, matching aspect ratios to platforms, and using camera movement presets—creators can significantly enhance their video content's effectiveness and visibility.
BLUF: Stop obsessing over view counts. They're vanity. To actually grow, you need to measure retention and conversation rate. This guide kills the noise and shows you the 3 numbers that actually put money in your pocket.
Measurement Impact
Why View Counts Lie
You can have 100,000 views and $0 in sales. Why? Because people are scrolling past your video in 0.5 seconds. Algorithms count that as a "view," but your bank account counts it as nothing. Real growth comes from retention—holding attention until the end.
Wistia’s 2025 Benchmark report shows average watch time drops 20% after the first 3 seconds; see the benchmark. Measure retention, not vanity views.
Vanity Metrics vs. Growth Metrics
The 3 Core Metrics
- Average Watch Time: If it's less than 50% of your video length, your intro is boring. Cut it.
- Saves: If people save your video, it means you provided value. Algorithms push "saved" content heavily.
- Shares: The holy grail. If someone shares your video, they are putting their reputation on it.
How to Fix Low Retention
Dashboard looking red? Here is the fix:
- Shorten It: Cut everything that isn't essential. 15 seconds > 60 seconds.
- Change Frames Faster: In Visionary, generate shorter 3s clips and stitch them. Don't linger on one static shot.
- Add Visual Hooks: Use a "Glitch" or "Zoom" effect every 3 seconds to reset the viewer's attention clock.
