Every new upload, clipped and scheduled — Shorts Autopilot

How Autopilot posts your shorts in 3 steps

1. 01. Connect your accounts and pick a channel

   Connect YouTube, TikTok and Instagram, then click the YouTube channel to watch from your Google account. No need to type its name.

2. 02. A new upload comes in and AI picks the shorts

   The new video is cut on sentence boundaries and captioned, and only shorts that pass the AI review score are picked. Anything below the bar isn't posted.

3. 03. Set a frequency per account and schedule them all

   From 3 posts a week to 2 a day, or your own frequency and times, for each account on one calendar. Titles and captions can differ per account too.

Frequency, times and captions per account

Post twice a day on YouTube and once on TikTok — every account gets its own frequency. Pick posting times from morning to late night or type your own, and write the YouTube title and TikTok caption separately for each post.

Only the good ones, approved by you if you like

Only the best few shorts from each video that pass the AI review score go out. Turn on "Let me approve before posting" and Autopilot renders the shorts but schedules nothing until you approve.

Start from a video file, and see what actually happened

Instead of watching a channel you can start from a video file, which suits anyone who only posts to TikTok. After posting you see the real result from the server: published, or failed with the reason, and you can retry a failed post. While Autopilot watches a channel and imports its videos, the Shorts Zone tab has to stay open and the Shorts Zone Link helper app has to be running. Scheduled posts go out from our server at the set time, even if your computer is off.

Why Shorts Zone

• Never cut mid-sentence

  Every short starts and ends on a sentence boundary, so nothing stops halfway through a thought.

• A virality score for every short

  A 0–100 score, a first-3-seconds check and one honest note make it easy to pick what to post.

• Your video stays on your device

  Cutting, captions and rendering all run in your browser. Only transcript text is sent to the AI.

• Paste a YouTube link

  The Shorts Zone Link helper downloads it on your own computer. Drive and Dropbox links and files work too.

• Korean, English, Japanese, Dutch, Italian and Traditional Chinese

  Transcribe and caption in all six languages. From Pro, translate captions into any of the other five.

• Follows whoever is talking

  Going from 16:9 to 9:16 keeps the speaker centered, and splits the screen for two or three people.

• Long videos welcome

  Up to 30 minutes free, 60 on Lite, and no length limit from Pro.

• Free to start

  3 videos per account for free. Lite ($4.9/month) adds watermark-free 1080p.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get started?

Connect your YouTube, TikTok and Instagram accounts first. Then pick the YouTube channel to watch from your Google account, or type an @handle or link (it's checked first), or start from a video file. Set the frequency and times for each account and you're done. For TikTok you choose the visibility yourself, once.

Can I use it if I only post to TikTok?

Yes. You don't need a YouTube channel: upload a video file with "Start from a video file" and AI picks the shorts and schedules them to your TikTok account. TikTok's rules don't allow a default, so you choose the visibility yourself, once.

Where can it post?

YouTube Shorts, TikTok and Instagram Reels. Instagram needs a Business or Creator account. You sign in on each platform's own page — we never see your password.

Does it clip videos that are already on my channel?

No. Videos already on the channel when you turn it on are skipped. Only new uploads after that are pulled in.

Which plan is it on?

Autopilot is available from Pro. Free and Lite only see the intro.
