What This Workflow Does
What it automates: Monitors a Dropbox folder for new video uploads, extracts the strongest moments, converts to vertical format, adds captions, and publishes to social — automatically.
Who it's for: Content teams, agencies, and editors who use Dropbox as a shared file system and want to automate the clip-to-publish pipeline from upload.
When to use it: Whenever new raw footage is delivered to a Dropbox folder — from a shoot, a recording session, or a remote contributor.
How It Works
Step 1: New Dropbox Video — Triggered by Every Upload
Connect your Dropbox account and select the folder to monitor. The moment a new video file is added to that folder, Overlap starts the workflow automatically. No manual trigger needed — just upload the video and the pipeline runs.
Step 2: Find Clips — AI Extracts the Strongest Moments
Overlap analyzes the uploaded video and identifies the highest-performing moments. Set minimum and maximum clip length, and add a custom prompt to focus on specific topics, speakers, or moments.
Step 3: Convert to Vertical — 9:16 Reframing
Clips are reformatted to vertical using content-aware reframing. Works for single speakers, multi-speaker setups, and content recorded with screen overlays.
Step 4: Add Subtitles — Auto-Generated Captions
Captions are generated from the video's transcript and styled for maximum readability on short-form feeds.
Step 5: Post to Social — Published to Your Accounts
Finished vertical clips are delivered to your connected TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts accounts.
Who's Is This For?
Content agencies with Dropbox-based delivery: Clients upload footage to a shared Dropbox folder — this workflow turns it into social-ready clips before an editor has even opened the file.
Production teams: Ingest footage from shoots directly into a Dropbox workflow. By the time the team is done wrapping, clips are already in review or published.
Remote content contributors: Distributed teams can drop footage into a shared folder from anywhere in the world and trigger the clip pipeline without any coordination overhead.
