Question 1

How does the video schema generator work?

Accepted Answer

Enter your video title, description, video URL, thumbnail URL, upload date, duration, creator, and optional metrics like views/likes. The tool generates a VideoObject JSON-LD schema with all required Google fields, validates it, and produces an HTML <script type="application/ld+json"> tag you can paste into your page.

Question 2

What duration formats are supported?

Accepted Answer

Three formats: (1) ISO 8601 already (e.g. PT4M13S) — passed through; (2) HH:MM:SS or MM:SS (e.g. 1:02:03 or 4:13) — converted to ISO 8601; (3) Plain seconds (e.g. 253) — converted to PT4M13S. The tool picks the right parser automatically based on the input string format.

Question 3

Can I add Clip and SeekToAction schemas for video chapters?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Provide chapters in the description (one per line in `0:00 Intro` format) and the tool generates both Clip schema entries (one per chapter, with startOffset/name) and a SeekToAction potentialAction markup so Google can show chapter segments directly in search results.

Question 4

Accepted Answer

(1) VideoObject JSON-LD generator (all required + optional fields). (2) Duration converter (HH:MM:SS / MM:SS / seconds → ISO 8601). (3) Schema validator (required fields, URL format, date format). (4) HTML script tag wrapper. (5) BreadcrumbList companion schema (toggleable). (6) Clip schema for video chapters. (7) SeekToAction schema generator. (8) Text report renderer. (9) CSV export.

(15) Google rich results compliance checker.

Question 5

Is my data sent anywhere?

Accepted Answer

No. All schema generation and validation runs locally in your browser. History is stored in localStorage on this device only.
