How to bulk schedule your clips

👀 Availability

Bulk publishing, scheduling, connected account limits, resolutions, custom thumbnails, and platform fields can depend on your plan and each platform's permissions.

Use Bulk Schedule when you want to prepare and publish several clips across connected social accounts without downloading and uploading each clip manually.
Bulk Schedule is for publishing and scheduling. If you want to apply editing settings to multiple clips before publishing, use Bulk Edit first.

Before you start

Before bulk publishing, check that:

  • The clips are ready to publish

  • Your social accounts are connected

  • Your plan supports the number of accounts, posts, and scheduling options you need

  • Titles, descriptions, tags, and thumbnails are ready to review

  • You know whether you want to publish now or schedule posts for later

If you have not connected a social account yet, see How to connect social accounts.

Select clips for bulk scheduling

  1. Open the page where your generated clips are listed.

  2. Select the clips you want to publish.

  3. Choose Bulk Schedule.

  4. Review the Publish to Social window.

Your plan can limit how many clips or posts you can process in one bulk scheduling workflow.

Choose social accounts

In the Publish to Social window, select the connected accounts you want to publish to.
Supported destinations can include:

  • YouTube

  • TikTok

  • Instagram

  • Facebook

  • LinkedIn

  • X/Twitter

Each clip-account combination creates a separate post. For example:

Selection

Result

2 clips and 1 account

2 posts

2 clips and 3 accounts

6 posts

10 clips and 2 accounts

20 posts

Check the post count before scheduling so you do not exceed your plan limit.
Your WayinVideo post allowance and a platform's API rate limit are separate. A batch can be within your plan allowance but still be temporarily limited by the destination platform.

TikTok publishing volume

TikTok applies a rolling 24-hour rate limit to posts sent through third-party integrations. When many posts are submitted close together, the first part of a batch may publish while later posts are blocked.
For each TikTok account:

  • Keep automated publishing below 15 videos during any rolling 24-hour period.

  • Space posts throughout the day instead of sending one large batch.

  • If part of a batch fails, check TikTok first and retry only the posts that did not publish.

  • Wait for enough of the rolling window to pass before retrying.

  • If a post must go live immediately, download the video and upload it through the official TikTok app.

Do not recreate clips that are already complete just because TikTok temporarily blocked publishing.

Prepare each clip's post content

Each selected clip can have its own publishing content.
Review each clip for:

  • Title

  • Description or caption

  • Tags or hashtags

  • Category or visibility settings when the platform requires them

  • Custom thumbnail

  • Platform-specific fields

Use the magic wand icon when you want AI writing to help generate or improve the title, description, tags, or hashtags for the selected platform.
For more about platform-specific AI writing, see How AI writing adapts posts for each social platform.

Set thumbnails for each clip

Custom thumbnails are configured per clip.
If you selected multiple clips, scroll through the full list and check each clip's Custom Thumbnail area. Click the + button for each clip that needs a custom thumbnail.
You can choose options such as:

  • Upload Image

  • AI Thumbnail

  • Select from Video

Do not assume one thumbnail applies to every selected clip. Some platforms can also have their own custom thumbnail rules. For example, YouTube custom thumbnails may require a verified account.

Set the schedule

Use the scheduling panel to choose:

Setting

What to check

Date

The day posts should start

Time

The first publishing time

Posting frequency

How far apart posts should be spaced

Scheduling window

The hours of the day when posts can be scheduled

Resolution

The export resolution for scheduled posts

Time zone

The time zone used for the schedule

Choose a scheduling window

By default, posts can be scheduled at any time of day, spaced apart by the posting frequency you set.
If you have many clips to schedule and do not want posts going out at night, you can limit scheduling to a daily time window:

  1. Choose the time zone the window should follow.

  2. Set the window's start and end time, for example 09:00 to 17:00.

  3. Check the estimated completion time to confirm the batch fits inside the window.

Posts are only scheduled inside the window. If a batch does not fit, widen the window, increase the posting frequency, or split the batch across more days.

Set the time zone

Time zones are set per schedule. The scheduling window and all publishing times follow the time zone you choose, so you can schedule in your own local time no matter where you are in the world.
Review the summary before scheduling. It should show the number of selected clips, selected accounts, total posts, start time, estimated completion time, and the scheduling window.

Publish or schedule

When everything looks correct, publish or schedule the posts.
Before confirming, check:

  • The right accounts are selected

  • Every clip has the right title, description, tags, and thumbnail

  • The schedule uses the correct time zone and scheduling window

  • The resolution is available on your plan

  • The total post count is within your plan limit

Review or unschedule posts in Scheduler

After scheduling, open Scheduler from the left sidebar to review upcoming posts.
To cancel all scheduled (unpublished) posts for one day at once:

  1. In Scheduler, find the date card for that day.

  2. Click the three dots (...) icon in the top-right corner of the date card.

  3. Select Unschedule posts.

  4. Confirm to complete the action.

Unschedule only affects posts that have not been published yet. If a post is already live on a social platform, removing it from WayinVideo only deletes the dashboard record. To remove the post itself, delete it in the platform's own app.
