What This Workflow Does
What it automates: This clipping agent detects new YouTube uploads, extracts the strongest moments, converts them to 9:16 vertical format, adds captions, and publishes to your social accounts — all automatically.
Who it's for: YouTubers, content creators, and social media managers who want to repurpose long-form content without manual editing.
When to use it: Every time you publish a new video to your YouTube channel.
How It Works
Step 1: New YouTube Video — Monitors Your Channel
Connect your YouTube channel URL and Overlap watches for new uploads automatically. The moment a qualifying video is published, the workflow starts — no manual trigger needed. Set minimum and maximum video length to filter out shorts or livestreams.
Step 2: Find Clips — Extracts the Strongest Moments
Overlap's AI analyzes the full video and identifies the highest-performing moments based on engagement signals, topic density, and pacing. You control clip length and can add a custom prompt to focus on specific topics or speakers.
Step 3: Convert to Vertical — Reformats for TikTok, Reels & Shorts
Each clip is reframed into 9:16 vertical format using content-aware reframing that keeps the subject in frame. Supports single-speaker and split-view multi-speaker layouts.
Step 4: Add Subtitles — Burns In Captions Automatically
Captions are generated from the video transcript and styled for maximum readability. Control position, size, font, and number of lines per frame.
Step 5: Post to Social — Publishes to Your Connected Accounts
Finished clips are delivered directly to your connected TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts accounts — ready to post or scheduled for optimal timing.
Who's Is This For?
YouTubers and video creators: Repurpose every upload into 5–10 short-form clips without spending hours in an editor. Your audience on TikTok and Instagram gets fresh content every time you post on YouTube.
Social media managers: Automate the clip-and-caption workflow for the channels you manage. One YouTube publish triggers a full short-form content pipeline.
Agencies: Run this workflow for multiple client channels simultaneously. Each channel gets its own automated pipeline with zero additional headcount.
FAQ's
How does this workflow detect new YouTube videos?
Connect your YouTube channel URL (or playlist URL) and Overlap monitors it continuously. The moment a new qualifying video is published, the workflow triggers automatically.
How many vertical clips does it create per video?
The Find Clips node typically extracts 3–8 clips per video depending on the length and your clip length settings. You control the minimum and maximum clip duration.
Can I control which moments it clips?
Yes. Add a custom prompt in the Find Clips node — for example, "focus on moments with strong opinions" or "avoid promotional sections" — and the AI clips accordingly.
Does the vertical reframing work for interview-style videos with two people?
Yes. Enable Split View in the Convert to Vertical node and the reframe will show both speakers simultaneously in a stacked layout.
Can I review clips before they go live on social?
Yes. Swap the Post to Social node for the Email node and clips are sent to your inbox for approval before anything is published.
