## One video project. Every platform's shape.

TikTok, Reels, YouTube Shorts, LinkedIn short video, all from the same timeline editor project. Edit once, export every aspect ratio, schedule each channel's native drop time.

### Three places YouTube fits into the rest of social.

- **Shorts + long-form scheduling** – Schedule a Short and a long-form video in one queue. Refine TikTok, Reels and Shorts side-by-side in a single composer: per-platform captions, thumbnails and aspect ratios edited in one place. Series and playlist management for multi-episode campaigns.
- **Thumbnail + title versioning** – Swap thumbnails and titles after publish without re-uploading. YouTube only accepts custom thumbnails on a verified channel. Test variants, measure which combination lifts click-through.
- **Cross-channel coordination** – Align YouTube drops with Instagram, TikTok and LinkedIn launches. One campaign calendar across every channel you publish to.
- **Approvals without logins** – Drafts route to reviewers with comments and real-time notifications. Clients approve from a no-login link, and role-based permissions decide who edits and who signs off.
- **Plan by label and campaign** – Label videos by type, theme or campaign, spot the gaps, and drag uploads around the calendar with a preview of each before it goes live.
- **One video, every format** – Turn a long-form upload into Shorts, Reels and TikTok from the same project, editing per-platform details without re-uploading anything.

### Plan video content like a campaign, not a queue.

Map uploads, Shorts and cross-posts on one planning board, so the channel's cadence is visible weeks ahead and nothing ships without its thumbnail and title ready.

- Campaign view across weeks, not just a list
- Thumbnails and titles reviewed before publish
- Shorts planned beside long-form uploads

### Titles and descriptions, drafted while you edit.

Smart assist drafts video titles, descriptions and post copy in your channel's voice, and helps brainstorm the next series when the content calendar thins out.

- Title and description drafts from your brief
- Consistent voice across uploads
- Series and topic brainstorms on tap

### Analytics that go beyond YouTube Studio.

YouTube performance in cross-channel reports alongside Instagram Reels and TikTok. AI commentary ties YouTube engagement to pillar and campaign performance across the workspace.

### YouTube, in the same calendar as everything else.

Cross-post Shorts to Reels and TikTok from one video project, and schedule the whole channel mix beside your other networks.
