How often can you actually post?

Most creators pick a cadence by looking at a good week, then break it during a normal one. Put in the hours you have when things are going badly and what a video really costs you, and this tells you the rhythm that survives.

Your worst normal week

Not your best week. The one with the deadline, the trip and the edit that fought back.

Charged at 5.5 h with thumbnail, description, filing and scheduling.

Charged at 0.9 h with overhead.

Everything is computed in your browser. Nothing is sent anywhere and there is no account.

The cadence you can keep

No long cuts and 3 shorts a week, every week, including the bad ones.

That uses 2.7 of your 6 hours and leaves 3.3 spare, which is the slack that absorbs a week going wrong. Bank 3 finished videos before you raise it.

What this deliberately ignores

  • Filming time, because it batches and a per-video figure would be fiction.
  • Whether the videos are any good. Cadence is the part you control.
  • Growth. This tool says what you can sustain, not what it will earn you.

About this calculator

Why does it ask about my worst week rather than a normal one?

Because a cadence sized against a good week breaks the first time a normal week happens, and the break is what costs you. A channel that publishes once a week for a year beats one that publishes four times a week for six weeks and then stops.

Why is the edit time charged higher than I entered?

Because a published video is not just an edit. The thumbnail, description, filing to a playlist and scheduling are charged as a fixed overhead on top: thirty minutes for a long cut, roughly nine minutes for a short. That overhead is the part people forget, and it is why cadences that looked fine on paper do not survive.

Does this send my numbers anywhere?

No. The arithmetic runs in your browser, there is no account, no email capture and no network request. You can disconnect from the internet and it still works.

It says I can only publish one video a week. Is that bad?

No. One a week, every week, without stopping, puts you ahead of most channels. The number matters far less than the fact that it never changes.

How do I actually keep to it?

Bank a buffer before you need one, schedule every video the moment it is finished rather than on the day it is due, and make the empty days visible. Runsheet does the last two, and the free plan is enough to try it.

Now make the week look like that.

Runsheet turns a cadence into four weeks of visible slots, publishes to YouTube with the thumbnail and playlist attached, and shows you the gaps before they happen.

The demo needs no email and no card. It is a sandbox of your own with a filled channel in it, and it deletes itself.
