Automated Shorts workflow

YouTube Shorts on autopilot: how it works

YouTube Shorts autopilot means new Shorts get made and scheduled without starting each one by hand. In Fresta, you choose channels to follow, each new long video or stream recording becomes a vertical Short, and it publishes to your YouTube channel on schedule.

What Fresta does on each new video

1. Picks it up. It notices a new long video or stream recording on a channel you follow.
2. Builds the Short. It makes a vertical video of about 30 seconds, with either a script and neural voice or the original stream audio.
3. Adds the finish. It applies word-by-word captions and music.
4. Publishes it. It uploads and schedules the Short to your connected YouTube channel.

What stays with you

Automation does not replace judgement. Use footage you own or may use, and check the results for wrong names, unsupported claims and awkward crops, especially on factual or sensitive subjects.

Who it suits

It suits channels with a regular supply of long videos, such as streams, podcasts and explainers, that would otherwise never become Shorts. If each Short needs careful hand editing, a full editor will serve you better.
