Talking-head videos, podcasts, interviews, tutorials and vlogs work best — anything with clear speech. Videos between 5 and 60 minutes give the most clips. Music videos or content without much talking won't produce great results.

Usually 2–5 minutes for a 10-minute video. Longer videos (30–60 min) may take 5–10 minutes. Processing happens on our server so you don't need to keep the tab open — come back and check My Clips or the Recent Jobs list in the sidebar.

The most common reasons are: (1) the video is private or age-restricted, (2) the URL was incorrect — make sure you paste the full YouTube URL, (3) the video has no clear speech to transcribe. Try a different public YouTube video to test. If it keeps failing, contact support.

All your clips are saved in My Clips (sidebar). Free and Starter plans keep clips for 7 days. Pro keeps them for 14 days, Agency for 30 days. Download anything you want to keep permanently before it expires.

The Viral Score (0–100) is calculated by our AI based on factors like: curiosity hooks, conflict or tension, emotional intensity, speech pace, and whether a strong question or statement is made. Click the score badge on any clip to see the exact breakdown.

Go to Settings → Social Accounts. Click Connect Facebook/Instagram — this connects both at once via Meta OAuth. For YouTube, click Connect YouTube. Once connected, your pages and channels appear in the auto-post dropdown when you run a job.

When you run a job, tick Auto-post clips and select a page. After your clips are generated, ClipPilot queues them and posts one every 2–4 hours automatically (you choose the interval). Facebook posts as Reels, Instagram as Reels, YouTube as Shorts. You don't need to do anything — it all happens in the background.

Connect TikTok via Settings → Social Accounts → Connect TikTok. You'll need a TikTok developer account at developers.tiktok.com. Once connected, select TikTok as a platform when running a job. Clips upload to your TikTok inbox as drafts — tap Post in the TikTok app to publish. Full auto-posting requires TikTok app review approval.

Tick Also create long clips when running a job. ClipPilot will additionally produce 90–300 second clips alongside your normal Reels/Shorts. Long clips post as regular Facebook feed videos and standard YouTube videos — which count toward the 4,000 watch hours needed for YouTube monetisation. Perfect for building watch time while your Shorts build subscribers.

Autopilot watches YouTube channels for new uploads. The moment a new video is posted, ClipPilot automatically downloads it, runs the full clip pipeline, and queues all clips to post to your connected social accounts. Go to Autopilot in the sidebar, click Add YouTube Channel and paste any channel URL.

You choose — from every 6 hours to every 24 hours. The default is every 24 hours. When a new video is found, clips are processed immediately and scheduled to post at your chosen interval (e.g. every 2 hours). The card shows how many videos were detected, jobs triggered, and clips scheduled.

On the very first check, ClipPilot seeds the 5 most recent video IDs as "already known" — it does NOT process them. This prevents a flood of old content. Only videos uploaded after you add the monitor get processed automatically.

The calendar shows all your scheduled posts across every connected page and channel. Each dot on a day represents a clip queued for posting. Click a day to see which clips are scheduled and to which pages. You can filter by brand/page using the sidebar brand list.
