Does the speaker say that's in that's you right there with a regional American accent like /ðæju/ //ðædju/?

Yes, he says "that's". What would you have thought he said without the subtitles?

I would have thought something with dj in any case, which is close to the regional pronunciation of did you. Do you think the actor nevertheless says that's in the normal way for you even if I have heard a kind of dj/dju as I mentioned in my previous question?

Unfortunately I cannot see or hear the video. The error message says the copyright owner, VVS Films, has blocked it in Canada. Hopefully our American teachers will be able to help.

It's blocked in Czechia too, but you may be able to see it on YouTube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=59cKF--ZAsAy

I have asked an AI on the way that's could be pronounced in casual or fast speech. It produced the following result, which I have double-check by another AI: In the case of “that’s”, the /ð/ sound at the beginning of the word might not be fully pronounced, and the /æ/ sound might be reduced, which could potentially make it sound like “atjue” to some listeners. Do you think it is plausible information? I tried to find this exploring internet, but failed.

I don't do phonetic symbols but it's possible that "That's you" might sound more like "That shoe", with a swallowed "t" at the end of "that".

 

[jutfrank]

He says it something like this, which is quite normal:

/ðæzju:/

which could potentially make it sound like “atjue” to some listeners.

No.

Unlike jutfrank, your AI source appears not to know much about phonetic symbols.
