Michael,



I didn't understand what number the curve (the y axis) represented?

I think it means, compared to other videos of the same length, the hot

side of the graph says you are retaining more viewers than average

and/or viewers are rewinding a watching those sections again. The cold

side of the graph represents where, compared to other videos of the

same length, people are skipping forward or clicking away more than

average.



From the hot spots page on my video:

"The ups-and-downs of viewership at each moment in your video,

compared to videos of similar length.

Above the average line, your video is hot: it's retaining more viewers

than average and they may be rewinding to watch that point again.

Below the average line, your video's gone cold: viewers are not

rewinding or may be leaving the video faster than the average."

Thanks Michael,



Sounds like a very interesting and complex metric, operationalizing the

"hotness" of any given part of a video, relative to other videos.
