Channel publishing

YouTube integration

ClipForge uploads a rendered clip to the YouTube channel authorized by the Google OAuth credentials you configure.

01

Configure the channel

Add your Google OAuth client and refresh credential in ClipForge publishing settings. ClipForge stores those values in operating-system secure storage rather than the project database.

Clear the saved credential in ClipForge and revoke its access from your Google Account when you no longer want the connection to work.

02

Review the upload

Rendered video

Play the finished local file before selecting YouTube as a destination.

Editable metadata

Review the title and description that ClipForge will attach to the video.

Channel defaults

ClipForge applies the YouTube category and privacy setting stored in the configured publishing credential.

Optional schedule

Choose a future release time when you want YouTube to hold the upload privately until publication.

03

Track the result

ClipForge keeps the local publishing job visible while it creates the resumable upload and transfers the video. A successful job records the YouTube video identifier, URL, applied privacy, and schedule. A failed job keeps the available error for troubleshooting.

Removing the local credential or project record does not delete a video already uploaded to YouTube. Manage published videos from the authorized YouTube channel.
