Frequently asked questions
Does it write a single post or a thread?+
It adapts to the video — a short, punchy video typically yields a single post; a longer, multi-topic video generates a numbered thread. You can trim either before posting.
Does the output fit X's character limits?+
Yes — each post in the output is written to stay within X's character limit, so no manual splitting is needed.
Can I make it sound like me?+
The tool gives you a strong draft, not a final post. Edit the tone, add your own take, drop jargon you don't use — it's your starting point, not your voice.
Do I need to credit the video?+
That's your call editorially, but linking or attributing the source is good practice, especially for educational or news content.
Is it free?+
Yes — completely free, no account, no email. Paste a URL and generate as many posts as you need.
Do I need to create an account?+
No. It's a web tool — paste a link, get your post. Nothing to sign up for or install.
Does it need captions to work?+
Yes — it reads the video's transcript. Most public YouTube videos have auto-generated captions; videos with captions disabled can't be processed.
Can I use it for TikTok captions too?+
The output is written as X posts, but the copy often adapts well as TikTok captions or short-form hooks with light editing.
Can I schedule or export the posts?+
The output is plain text — copy it into your scheduler (Buffer, Typefully, Hootsuite, etc.) or paste directly into X.
I have a whole video library. Can I get post ideas for all of it?+
This tool handles one video at a time. With [veridive](https://veridive.com), your entire library becomes a source of searchable ideas and content angles — so you're never short on material.
