A Visual Tour of TubeLog: Every Feature Explained
This guide walks you through TubeLog's key features with annotated screenshots so you know exactly what to expect before signing up — or can quickly find a feature you've been meaning to try.
#The Dashboard
After connecting your YouTube channel, the Analytics Dashboard is your home base.
The top row shows your core KPIs for the selected time range:
- Subscribers — net gain/loss with trend direction
- Views — total views across all connected channels
- Watch Time — hours watched (YouTube's primary ranking signal)
- Revenue — estimated earnings (Starter plan and above)
Below the KPIs, the Hall of Fame section highlights your most-viewed and highest-engagement video for the period.
#Analytics Charts
Clicking any metric opens the detailed chart view.
You can switch between:
- Line chart — daily trend for any metric
- Bar chart — compare week over week or month over month
- Traffic Sources — breakdown of where views come from (Search, Browse, Subscriptions, External)
- Demographics — age and gender distribution
#Thumbnail Analysis
The TubeLog Score grades your thumbnails before you publish using two AI models.
The heatmap overlay shows where viewers' eyes are predicted to land first. Red/orange = high attention. Blue/green = low attention. In the example above, the subject's face is squarely in the high-attention zone — a strong indicator of good CTR.
#Running a Comparison
Use the Compare tab to test up to 4 thumbnails side by side:
Each thumbnail gets an individual score, so you can see at a glance which design will likely perform best before committing.
#Subtitle Translation
The Translator tool takes your SRT/VTT file and converts it to up to 14 languages in one click.
Workflow:
- Upload your SRT or VTT file
- Select target languages (batch translation is supported)
- Review the output — TubeLog preserves timing and formatting
- Download individual files or a ZIP archive
Translation uses GPT-4o mini and Claude 3.5 Sonnet depending on language pair, ensuring high quality across all supported languages.
#Documentation Hub
All of TubeLog's documentation is searchable directly from the docs page.
The AI-powered search understands natural language queries — you can type "how do I compare thumbnails" and it will surface the relevant docs page immediately.
