Posting Clips
Once a clip is rendered, you can publish it directly to your connected social media accounts. The posting flow from the results page works the same way as posting from the Calendar, letting you configure platform-specific settings and schedule publication.
Before You Start
Make sure you have:
Posting Flow
Click the Post button
On the results page, find the rendered clip you want to publish and click the “Post” button. This opens the posting configuration page.
Select your accounts
Choose which connected social media accounts should receive the post. You can select multiple accounts across YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook.
Configure platform settings
Fill in platform-specific details for each selected account. Settings vary by platform.
Add hashtags and tags
Add relevant hashtags to maximize discoverability. VDClip validates tags against each platform’s requirements.

Posting limits vary by plan. Some plans restrict the number of posts you can publish per day or month. Visit the pricing page for details on your plan’s limits.
After Posting
Once a clip has been posted or scheduled:
- The clip’s post history on the results page updates to show the new publication
- Scheduled posts appear in your Calendar where you can manage them
- You can continue posting the same clip to additional platforms
Tips & Best Practices
Each platform has different audience expectations. Tailor your captions, hashtags, and descriptions to match the style of each platform.
Schedule posts in advance to maintain a regular posting cadence. Consistent publishing helps grow your audience across all platforms.
Research trending and niche-specific hashtags for each platform. Avoid overusing generic tags that get lost in high-volume feeds.
Before posting, make sure your connected accounts are still authorized. Expired tokens will prevent posting and require re-authentication.
Double-check all platform settings, especially visibility and scheduling options, before confirming your post.
Use the post history on the results page and the Calendar to keep track of what has been published and where.
