Question 2

YouTube to Instagram

Accepted Answer

You can now repurpose videos directly from YouTube and publish them in different formats using Repurpose.io

|| Before you create your workflow, make sure to connect your Instagram account. Learn how here.

In this video, you'll learn how to create snippets (video clips with captions) from your YouTube videos and publish them to Instagram directly.

${youtube}

For this example, we choose to create a Snippet workflow so we can select the part of the video that we like and set the workflow to make a square final video.

A few items you need to be aware of:

Instagram doens't allow videos longer than 60 seconds
Video dimensions are best kept on Square formats. Especially important if you are going to use Original video format inside Repurpose

Question 6

Burning Captions Into Videos (3 Ways)

Accepted Answer

||| We currently support burning in captions for video to video workflow only (audio to video captions coming soon)

**Repurpose doesn't have the ability to generate automatic captions, but you can still burn captions into your videos. **

There are 3 ways to do this:

Method 1 - Use automatically generated or user-uploaded captions from Facebook and YouTube.
Method 2 - Upload your own captions in .SRT format to Repurpose for each video.
Method 3 - Include an .SRT file in the same folder as your video (with same name) when repurposing from Dropbox or Google Drive.

Method 1 - Working with YouTube and Facebook Captions

Using YouTube's autogenerated captions:

YouTube automatically generates captions for each video you upload. It may take a few hours for these captions to appear on YouTube. The accuracy of these transcripts are not perfect but may be good enough for creating captioned videos.

Uploading Your Own Captions to YouTube:

Visit the YouTube Studio
Click Content and click the pencil icon to edit a particular video
Click Subtitles, Add Language, and under Subtitles on the right click "Add"
Click Upload File and choose your captions file with timing (typically SRT or VTT format) ![](h
