1. A method for integrating social media analytics, which describe interactions with grouped media content across multiple social media services, with a content creation tool used for creating or modifying the grouped media content, the method comprising:

providing, by a processing device, an analytics interface for the content creation tool;

performing, by the processing device and based on input received via the analytics interface, operations comprising:

selecting a first video item and a second video item, wherein at least a first video segment and a second video segment are included in both the first video item and the second video item,

modifying the first video item to comply with first formatting constraints of a first social media service and the second video item to comply with second formatting constraints of a second social media service,

updating a mapping to associate the first video item and the second video item with a group, and

publishing the first video item to the first social media service and the second video item to the second social media service;

matching, by the processing device and based on the mapping, the group with (i) first analytics for the first video item received from the first social media service and (ii) second analytics for the second video item received from the second social media service;

identifying, by the processing device and from a combination of the first analytics and the second analytics, a change in viewer response associated with the first video segment;

determining, by the processing device, that the change in viewer response exceeds a threshold change;

updating, by the processing device and based on determining that the change exceeds the threshold change, the analytics interface to include, during a playback of the first video segment, an indicator identifying the first video segment as being associated with the change in viewer response; and

updating, by the processing device, the analytics interface to omit the indicator during a playback of the second video segment.
