Schedule Shorts and full uploads
Pick the day and the minute. ClipSpeed books that exact slot on your channel or tells you why it cannot and offers the next one. A booked upload is never moved behind your back.
Title, description and privacy in one step
Every upload carries its title, a description with working links, hashtags and a public, unlisted or private setting. Nothing is left to finish inside YouTube Studio unless you want to.
Clips come from the same tool
Paste a video or stream link and ClipSpeed cuts the Shorts with captions and a viral score. The clips you keep go straight onto the YouTube calendar without a download or a re-upload.
Numbers after it posts
Views, likes and comments are read back per upload so you can see which Shorts earn the next one. Ask your agent for the numbers or open the calendar in the app.
Plan, schedule YouTube videos and shorts, and grow, from one calendar
A YouTube scheduler should do more than post on time. ClipSpeed pairs the calendar with the clipping engine and the image and video models, so the content and the schedule come from the same place, and with booking rules that keep the account healthy.
A week of Shorts from one long video
Give ClipSpeed a two-hour podcast or stream. It finds the moments, cuts them vertical, captions them word by word and scores each one. You pick seven, and they land one a day at the time you choose.
The calendar that keeps its promises
YouTube uploads are paced four hours apart per channel and capped per day so a channel never looks like a bot. When a slot is taken the booking says so and names the next free one; it never relocates a time you picked.
Ask an AI agent instead of clicking
Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, Codex and Cursor can run the whole flow: cut the clips, write the titles, check the schedule and book the uploads. You read the plan in chat and say yes.
Generated thumbnails and B-roll
Need a cover image or a six-second opener? Generate it in the same conversation with ClipSpeed's image and video models, then attach it. Nothing leaves the chat window.
Schedule YouTube from any AI agent
Every agent below can upload Shorts and videos on YouTube through ClipSpeed's MCP server: one URL, OAuth sign-in, the same rules. Each link is a full guide with the YouTube settings reference and prompts.

What Postiz-style schedulers cannot do
Cut the clips first
Your agent does not need finished video to start. Hand it a YouTube link, a podcast, a stream VOD or a local export. ClipSpeed finds the moments, cuts them to 9:16 with word-by-word captions, scores each one 0 to 100 for shareability, and returns them in the same conversation. Your agent picks by score, writes the caption from the transcript, and books the clips on YouTube. Three tool calls, one approval, no download and no re-upload.
- Clips arrive with a title written from the hook, a transcript and a viral score, so the agent can choose and caption without watching the footage.
- Live streams can be clipped while they are still on air; the agent books the highlights for the next morning before the stream ends.
- Every clip is already hosted, so
schedule_posttakes its id directly. Nothing moves through your laptop.

Your agent shows the plan with preview: true, you say yes, it books.generate_image or generate_videoDescribe the shot.

The caption, the time and the file are approved together.The other half nobody else has
Generate the video, then post it
A product shot for Instagram, a 16:9 announcement graphic for X, a six-second opener before a clip: your agent can make a short video with ClipSpeed's image and video models and book the result in the same reply. There is no separate design tool, no export, no upload page. The generated file is hosted, so media_url is the only thing the booking needs.
- The price in credits is quoted before anything renders, within the per-generation and daily caps you set in Settings.
- Results are previewed in the conversation, so you approve the picture and the post at once.
- video posts as MP4, MOV or WebM up to 1 GB.
How YouTube booking works
The rules are the product's trust. They run on the server, so the app, the API and every AI agent book the same way.
- Exact or refused. A time you name is booked to the minute or refused with the reason and the next open slot. ClipSpeed never moves a booked post without asking.
- As soon as possible is placed and said. Leave the time out and the reply tells you exactly where the post landed.
- Preview books nothing.
preview: trueruns the whole booking, including caps, spacing and slot choice, and writes nothing. It is how a week gets planned before it is booked. - Limits are refused at booking, never trimmed at send time. The reply carries the real count so the fix is one edit.
- Pacing protects the account. Video on YouTube is at least 4 hours apart, up to 4 a day under your plan.
- One piece of content goes to one platform once. The same text or the same file to the same platform is recognised as a duplicate and refused.
- Cancel is undoable for 72 hours in the ClipSpeed app. Copy can be edited while a post is still scheduled; the time cannot, by design.
- A title is required and capped at 100 characters. Ask the agent to write the title from the clip's hook line; the booking is refused, not trimmed, if it runs long.
- YouTube takes video only. A text-only or image request to YouTube is refused at booking with the message "YouTube takes video posts, not text".
- privacy_status defaults to public. Say "unlisted" or "private" in the prompt when you want to check the upload on YouTube first.
- Uploads are spaced four hours apart on the same channel and capped at your plan's daily number. A second upload inside that window is refused with the next open slot, never silently moved.
Take the hassle out of YouTube
Plan a month of videos and shorts in one conversation, approve the plan, and let ClipSpeed publish at the exact minute, leaving you more time to make the next one.
YouTube scheduling: frequently asked questions
How do I set up automatic posting to YouTube with ClipSpeed?
Connect your YouTube account to ClipSpeed once through YouTube's own sign-in (ClipSpeed never sees the password), then book a post from the calendar in the app or ask an AI agent such as Claude or ChatGPT. ClipSpeed publishes at the booked minute through YouTube's official API.
How do I schedule many YouTube posts at once?
Ask an agent to plan the batch and preview it: "plan one post a day at 5pm next week, show me first" returns every slot and the day's remaining cap with nothing booked. Approve and it books all of them in one reply. Video on YouTube is at least 4 hours apart, up to 4 a day under your plan. A taken slot is refused with the next open one, never moved quietly.
Can I schedule YouTube Shorts and regular videos with ClipSpeed?
Yes. Both go through the same booking. A vertical 9:16 video under three minutes shows up on YouTube as a Short; a 16:9 upload is a standard video. Every ClipSpeed clip is already cut vertical with captions, so Shorts are the default outcome of the clipping step. Pass a title (required, up to 100 characters), a description, hashtags and a privacy setting, and the upload is booked for the exact minute you name.
Does YouTube scheduling in ClipSpeed respect my channel's limits?
It applies two rules at booking time: uploads on one channel are at least four hours apart, and each day is capped by your plan. If your request breaks either rule, the booking is refused with the reason and the next open slot. Nothing is moved to a different time without you asking, and nothing is truncated.
Can I upload unlisted and publish later?
Yes. Set the privacy to unlisted or private in the request ("upload it unlisted"). ClipSpeed uploads at the booked time with that setting, and you switch it to public in YouTube Studio when you are happy. The default is public, so say so when you want the review step.
What video formats and sizes does ClipSpeed accept for YouTube?
A finished ClipSpeed clip by its id, or any public https link to an MP4, MOV or WebM up to 1 GB. The link is probed before the booking is accepted, so a dead or private link is refused immediately rather than failing at upload time.
Does ClipSpeed schedule YouTube community posts?
No. YouTube's API does not let any scheduler publish community posts, so ClipSpeed uploads Shorts and full videos with their title, description and privacy setting, and leaves community posts to YouTube Studio.
Does ClipSpeed have a YouTube content calendar?
Yes. Every YouTube post sits on the ClipSpeed calendar in week and month views next to your other channels. Drag a post to another day and it keeps its exact time, or moves to the next open 15-minute mark if that time is taken or too close to another YouTube post; drop it outside a day and it goes back where it was.
Can I cross-post to YouTube and other networks from one request?
One request can book the same clip, image or text to several connected platforms; each keeps its own time slot, its own text limit and its own daily cap. Ask an agent to write a different caption for each platform and it books them as separate posts. Posting today: YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, X (Twitter) and LinkedIn.
Can ClipSpeed automatically repost my best YouTube content?
Not yet. ClipSpeed does not republish posts on a timer. It also posts one piece of content to one platform once, so a rerun means a fresh clip cut from the same video, or a new image, booked like any other post inside your daily cap.
Can I set recurring YouTube posting slots?
Not as fixed weekly slots yet. Fill My Calendar places your clips in YouTube's good hours inside your daily cap, and an agent can plan a pattern like "weekdays at 9am" as a preview you approve in one reply.
Can my team collaborate on YouTube posts in ClipSpeed?
Not yet. A ClipSpeed account is one person's workspace: there are no team seats, approval steps or shared drafts, and each platform connects one account. Agencies run one ClipSpeed account per brand today.
Is there a free YouTube scheduler?
ClipSpeed has no free plan. The $1 trial starts the same account you keep, and scheduling is included on every paid plan at no extra cost, alongside clipping and AI image and video generation on one credits wallet.
What YouTube analytics does ClipSpeed show?
Views, likes, comments and shares per post where YouTube provides them, with the time they were last read, in the calendar and through the agent tools. ClipSpeed says plainly when numbers are not available for a post or a platform rather than showing a zero. ClipSpeed does not shorten links or count link clicks yet.
Can I schedule YouTube posts from Claude or another AI assistant?
Yes. ClipSpeed runs an MCP server at https://api.clipspeed.ai/mcp, so Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Windsurf and any other MCP client can sign in with OAuth and upload Shorts and videos on YouTube on your behalf. The assistant drafts within YouTube's limits, picks the slot, previews the plan and books on your yes. It can also cut the clips and generate the images in the same conversation. See the YouTube guides for each agent below.
Is there an API for YouTube scheduling?
Yes. The same booking service behind the app and the MCP server is available over the ClipSpeed REST API with an API key, so your own backend or an automation tool can schedule a YouTube post or upload a video programmatically. The rules are identical: exact or refused, preview mode, per-platform limits. The developer pages under /mcp/ document the keys and the tool contract. Webhooks fire when clips finish (a signed clips.completed event); a webhook when a post publishes is not available yet.
Can ClipSpeed make the YouTube content, not just post it?
That is the difference. Paste a long video or a live stream and ClipSpeed cuts captioned 9:16 clips with a viral score, which post to YouTube as native video. Generate an image or a short video with ClipSpeed's models and post the result. One conversation, one calendar.
