Schedule YouTube videos and Shorts with the thumbnail already picked
Upload once, set the title, description, tags, and visibility, and let the video go live on schedule. FoPost publishes through the official Data API with resumable uploads for big files and views reported back per video.
Resumable uploads
Large files finish even if the connection drops.
Custom thumbnails
Pick the thumbnail in the composer, not after.
Shorts included
Vertical clips tagged #Shorts automatically.
One upload flow for the episode and the clips
Publish the full episode on Tuesday and three Shorts from it across the week, all from one calendar. FoPost handles files up to 256GB with resumable uploads and tags vertical clips as Shorts on the way out.

Title, description, tags, and thumbnail in one place

Descriptions written while the file uploads
