# Upload a reel once. Schedule it everywhere.

> Motion Reel is a reel scheduler for Instagram, TikTok and YouTube Shorts. Upload one video, pick your accounts, set each platform's options and choose a time.

## One upload, every account.

- **Pick your accounts:** Send one video to as many connected accounts as you like, across all three platforms.
- **Each platform's own options:** Trial reels on Instagram, drafts on TikTok, titles and visibility on YouTube. Nothing is guessed for you.
- **Preview to scale:** See the reel as each app shows it, with what its buttons and caption cover.
- **Any time up to a year ahead:** Post now or pick a day and time, in your own time zone.
- **Your video, untouched:** Motion Reel posts the file you upload as it is, with no watermark or logo.
- **A status for every account:** Each one shows whether it went out and the link once it's live. If one fails, you see why and what to change.

## Where it works

- **Instagram Reels:** Reels, with trial reels and the choice of profile grid or Reels tab.
- **TikTok:** Post to your profile or send a draft, with your own choices for every post.
- **YouTube Shorts:** Vertical or square videos up to 3 minutes, with a title, visibility and your made-for-kids answer.

## How it works

1. **Connect your accounts.** Each one with its own platform's login.
2. **Upload your video and pick accounts.** MP4 or MOV, up to 300 MB. 1080 × 1920 (9:16) looks right everywhere.
3. **Set the options and choose a time.** Motion Reel posts it then, and shows you how it went.

## Questions

### Can I schedule one reel to Instagram, TikTok and YouTube at once?

Yes. Upload the video once, pick your accounts on each platform, set each one's options and choose a time.

### How far ahead can I schedule a reel?

Up to a year ahead, in your own time zone.

### What happens if one platform refuses a post?

Each account has its own status, so the others still go out. The post's page says what happened and what to change, and a retry only sends it to the accounts that failed.

### What kind of video should I upload?

MP4 or MOV, up to 300 MB. Vertical 1080 × 1920 (9:16) looks right everywhere. YouTube Shorts need to be vertical or square and up to 3 minutes.

### Does Motion Reel change my video?

No. It posts the file you upload as it is, with no watermark or logo added.

### Do I need an AI agent?

No. You can upload and schedule everything from the dashboard. If you do use one, it can work with the same things.

### Can my AI agent schedule reels for me?

Yes. Connect Claude, Codex, Cursor or another MCP client to Motion Reel, and ask. It shows you a preview, and nothing is scheduled until you say yes.
