Version Lab
Stop publishing the version you happened to edit last.
Upload the cuts you are torn between and Retensis compares them directly: which opening earns the next five seconds, where each one loses people, and what the strongest version is doing that the others are not. You get a reason, not just a ranking, so the lesson carries into the next video instead of ending with this one.

The Real Decision
Choosing between your own cuts is the hardest edit.
By the time you have three versions you have lost the ability to see any of them. You know what happens next, you remember the take that was hard to get, and you like the one you finished most recently. Version Lab reads each cut without any of that history and compares them on what a first-time viewer would actually experience.
Choosing between your own cuts is the hardest edit.
Ranked With Reasons
A ranking you can argue with, because it shows its work.
Each version is scored and placed, and every placement comes with the reason behind it. That matters more than the order, because the reason is the part you can reuse.
- Which opening holds attention past the first seconds, and why
- Where each version loses people, with timestamps
- What the strongest cut does that the others do not
- Pacing, clarity, and payoff compared side by side

One Change at a Time
Learn something the comparison can actually teach.
If two cuts differ in six ways, a winner tells you nothing. Version Lab is most useful when versions differ in one deliberate way: a different hook, a tighter open, a different first line. Then the result is a lesson rather than a coin toss, and it applies to every video after this one.
Opening 3 seconds lack a pattern interrupt.
Current hook
“So here's my morning routine…”
Suggested hook
“Stop waking up tired. This changed everything.”
Before, Not After
Decide before you publish, not after it underperforms.
Publishing to find out is the slowest and most expensive test there is, and the platform only shows you the result once. Comparing first means the version that goes out is the one that already held attention best, and the versions that did not still taught you something.

FAQ
Common questions
Bring the cuts you are actually torn between. Comparisons are clearest when the versions differ in one deliberate way, because then the result tells you which change worked rather than which bundle of changes happened to land.
Analyzing each one gives you three separate reports and leaves the comparison to you. Version Lab reads them against each other and answers the question you actually have, which is which one to publish and what the winner is doing differently.
Version Lab is part of Pro, alongside the rest of the Create Studio.
