Cross-post a YouTube Short from one 9:16 file
How a YouTube Short fits the free workspace: 60 seconds, a searchable title, #shorts, and the same master you also send to TikTok and Reels.
Updated 2026-10-07
A Short is the strictest cut
In this workspace a YouTube Short has to be 60 seconds or under. If the file is longer, that column turns off until you trim it in the studio. The same 9:16 master can still go to TikTok and Reels when it fits their caps too.
The YouTube title is the line people search. Put the topic in words, then a few tags, including #shorts. The caption can carry the spoken script. Do not paste the TikTok caption into this box and call it done.
Live upload waits on your channel
YouTube is the first network that can publish for real, once Google keys are set and you connect the channel. Until then, Connect runs a demo so you can see the job, the title, and the schedule without a paid scheduler.
Sign-in with Google and connecting YouTube are two steps. The free workspace is useful before either one is finished: the file, the title, and the other networks’ captions are already there.
Cross-post the short for free
One 9:16 file, a caption for each network, and a schedule if you want it later. Creating, editing, and the publish workspace are free.
