## Choose the platform and output settings

The core use cases are TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and Facebook Reels. Select your target platforms in the generator to request publishing copy. Choose the aspect ratio and resolution before production. A platform selection does not automatically publish the video or guarantee it meets every platform rule.

For vertical Shorts and Reels, choose 9:16. Other supported aspect ratios are 16:9 and 1:1. Duration presets are 30s, 45s, 60s, 90s; exact final runtime may differ. Cinematic supports 720p, 1080p, 4K. AI Motion upgrades support 720p or 1080p only.

## YouTube Shorts

Use the [AI YouTube Shorts Generator](https://facelessreel.app/ai-youtube-shorts-generator) for original faceless story videos from a topic or script. It is not a long-video clipping tool. Download the MP4 and review the YouTube publishing copy before uploading yourself. Check YouTube's current upload, copyright, and monetization requirements; using AI does not guarantee eligibility or reach.

## TikTok

Use the [AI TikTok Video Generator](https://facelessreel.app/ai-tiktok-video-generator) for the same topic-to-video workflow with TikTok as the selected target. Check the final playback, captions, and publishing copy before uploading. There is no automatic posting or scheduling.

## Instagram and Facebook Reels

Start in the [main generator](https://facelessreel.app/). Download the video and relevant platform copy for manual upload. Review cover cropping, safe zones, caption timing, and music rights on the destination platform.

## What platform copy means

The package includes copy folders for selected platforms: a title, post text, hashtags, and CTA. They refer to the main MP4, rather than promising separately edited video files for each destination. Revise copy to fit your audience and check platform limits before posting.
