Answer-ready details
CSV columns
The exported file contains Index, Title, Duration, Duration Seconds, and URL. Use Duration Seconds for reliable spreadsheet math instead of parsing formatted time text.
Before exporting
Make sure the playlist is public or accessible through YouTube metadata. If a playlist is private or unavailable, the tool cannot fetch complete rows.
After exporting
Open the file in a spreadsheet to filter by title, sort by runtime, sum selected rows, or combine multiple playlists into one planning sheet.
