Social Media Video Scheduler for Mac: Export, Then Post or Schedule

Send a finished video to YouTube, YouTube Shorts, TikTok, Instagram and X from the same Export window you render it in. Post now, or schedule it from 10 minutes up to 6 months ahead, with captions and cover art drafted per platform.

  • YouTube, Shorts, TikTok, Instagram, X
  • Schedule up to 6 months ahead
  • HD or 4K, 30 or 60 fps

What the Publish Panel Does

Publishing lives in the Export modal and in Settings › Social. Connect accounts once, then every export can go straight out.

01

Five Destinations From One Export

Pick any combination of YouTube, YouTube Shorts, TikTok, Instagram and X in the Publish panel. The finished export goes to each destination you selected, so you are not saving the file and re-uploading it on four different sites.

02

Schedule 10 Minutes to 6 Months Ahead

Choose a publish time anywhere from 10 minutes to 6 months out. YouTube uploads are scheduled natively on YouTube's side. For the other platforms, Creavit Studio posts the video itself at the time you set.

03

TikTok Direct Post or Draft

TikTok connects with OAuth. Choose Direct post and pick a privacy option before sending, or choose Draft to send the video to your TikTok inbox and finish the post in the TikTok app.

04

Captions Written Per Platform

The Publish Assistant drafts a caption for each destination using Claude Code, Codex, or Local AI through Ollama. A YouTube description, a TikTok caption and an X post have different shapes, and you can edit every draft before it goes out.

05

Cover Art From the Video

The Publish Assistant also makes cover art in three styles: editorial, showcase and cutout. You get a thumbnail made from your own footage instead of a random frame picked by the platform.

06

Platform Limits Checked Before Upload

Shorts must be vertical or square and up to 3 minutes; X posts are limited to 280 characters. The app enforces these before sending, so you find out in the editor rather than from a failed upload. Output is HD or 4K at 30 or 60 fps.

How Each Platform Is Connected

YouTube and TikTok connect through OAuth, so posting happens directly from the app. Instagram posts through Meta's Graph API, which only works for Business or Creator accounts linked to a Facebook Page; with a personal Instagram account the app opens Instagram and copies the caption to your clipboard so you can paste it and post by hand. X works the same way: when the account is connected, the post goes out through the API; when it is not, the app opens X with the caption ready. Knowing which path each account takes up front avoids surprises on a scheduled day.

What Scheduling Needs From Your Mac

YouTube scheduling is handed to YouTube: the schedule is set natively on YouTube's side, so YouTube releases the video at the chosen time even if your Mac is off by then. TikTok, Instagram and X are different: Creavit Studio is the one that posts at the scheduled time, which means the Mac has to be on and the app has to be open when that time arrives. If the Mac was asleep or the app was closed, missed posts go out the next time you open Creavit Studio. For anything time-critical on those platforms, plan to leave the Mac running.

A Practical Weekly Batch

Record and edit three or four short videos in one sitting. For each one, open Export, turn on the Publish panel, select YouTube Shorts, TikTok and X, let the Publish Assistant draft captions and a cover, adjust the wording, and set a date across the coming week. YouTube takes care of its own schedule; keep the Mac on during the days the other posts are due. The editing session becomes the posting session, and there is no separate upload pass at the end.

Frequently Asked Questions

How posting and scheduling work, including the limits of each platform.

Which platforms can Creavit Studio post to?

YouTube, YouTube Shorts, TikTok, Instagram and X. You choose destinations in the Publish panel of the Export modal, and you manage connected accounts in Settings › Social.

Does my Mac need to stay on for scheduled posts?

For YouTube, no: the schedule is set natively on YouTube's side. For TikTok, Instagram and X, yes: Creavit Studio posts at the scheduled time, so keep the Mac on and the app open. Posts that were missed go out the next time the app opens.

Can it post to a personal Instagram account?

Direct posting uses Meta's Graph API, which requires an Instagram Business or Creator account linked to a Facebook Page. With other accounts, the app opens Instagram and copies the caption for you, and you finish the post there.

What happens with X if I have not connected an account?

When X is connected, the post goes out through the API. Otherwise the app opens X with the caption ready so you can attach the video and post it yourself. X posts are limited to 280 characters.

Can I send a video to TikTok as a draft instead of publishing it?

Yes. TikTok supports Direct post and Draft modes. Draft sends the video to your TikTok inbox so you can finish the post in the TikTok app; Direct post lets you choose a privacy option before it goes out.

How far ahead can I schedule?

From 10 minutes up to 6 months ahead.

Who writes the captions and cover art?

The Publish Assistant, using Claude Code or Codex if they are installed on your Mac, or a local Ollama model through Local AI. It drafts a caption for each platform and creates cover art in editorial, showcase or cutout style. Everything is editable before posting.

Are there limits on what I can post to Shorts?

Shorts must be vertical or square and up to 3 minutes long. The app checks this before uploading. Exports can be HD or 4K at 30 or 60 fps.
