How each platform is published

Section titled “How each platform is published”

Publishing is assisted by default: the app opens the platform’s own upload page, fills in the file and the copy, and you press publish. An API uploader is only used when you configure one and confirm each post. See Assisted publishing.

Notes and sources

Section titled “Notes and sources”

lib/vstudio/platform.py holds the defaults. Override any field in persona.local.yaml under platforms.<name> (or platforms.<name>.orientations.<o>). python -m vstudio.platform prints every profile. python -m vstudio.export uses them to produce per-platform files (see the bottom of this page).

Researched October 2026 (X / Instagram / 视频号 added and B站 re-checked 2026-10-06; Facebook, LinkedIn, Threads, Reddit, Pinterest, Snapchat, 快手, 微博, 知乎, Dailymotion, Kwai added 2026-10-06 - see “Platforms added 2026-10” below). Publishing (how a post gets there, APIs): references/PUBLISHING.md. Platforms change their UI and limits often, and no platform here publishes safe-zone pixels or a loudness target (YouTube’s −14 LUFS is the one well-documented normalisation). Each value below is tagged: [S] sourced (official doc, or several independent guides that agree), [3P] one or two third-party guides, [C] convention (our own working default, measured in-app or chosen to be conservative). When a platform’s UI changes, preview on a phone and update the persona, not the code.

Order and groups

Section titled “Order and groups”

Every list a person sees (platform pickers, the desk’s publish page, accounts list, calendar chips, the website) uses platform.ORDER: English / global (YouTube, Shorts, TikTok, Instagram, X, Facebook, LinkedIn, Threads, Reddit, Pinterest, Snapchat), then Chinese (小红书, 抖音, 视频号, B站, 快手, 微博, 知乎), then other languages (Dailymotion, Kwai). platform.ordered(names, connected=[...]) puts platforms with a connected account first within their group. PLATFORMS (the dict) keeps its old insertion order so lookups that scan it are unchanged.

YouTube = one channel, two formats. youtube (long-form, 16:9) and youtube-shorts (vertical or square, ≤ 3 min [S: https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/15424877]) stay two export targets but share one account: channel_of("youtube-shorts") == "youtube", FORMATS["youtube"]. youtube_format(aspect, seconds) says which one a file is; check_format (also run by vstudio.export) warns when long-form only has a vertical master (re-laid out on 16:9 with a blurred fill - render a real 16:9 cut, or post it as Shorts) and when a Shorts target is horizontal or over 180 s. Shorts description links are not clickable since 2023-08 [S: https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/13748639 , https://9to5google.com/2023/08/10/youtube-shorts-links-spam/].

Loudness, fps, encode

Section titled “Loudness, fps, encode”
  • YouTube −14 LUFS is well established [S: many guides; YouTube turns louder uploads down]. TikTok/Douyin/小红书/B站 publish no target: −14 LUFS integrated, −1.5 dBTP everywhere [C] (repo default audio.loudness_lufs; guides agree on ≤ −1 dBTP because platform transcodes overshoot). B站 reportedly does not normalise [3P, Zhihu]. Override per platform in the persona (e.g. a hotter −12 LUFS short-form master).
  • fps: deliver at the source rate, 30 default; capped at 60 (120 on B站) [S YouTube: “same frame rate as recorded”].
  • Encode: H.264 High, yuv420p, BT.709, AAC 48 kHz, +faststart [S YouTube recommended upload settings]. YouTube 1080p30 SDR ≈ 8 Mbps (12 at 60 fps), “no bitrate limit” [S] → CRF 18 with a 16 M cap [C]. B站 1080p re-encodes above ~6 Mbps average / 24 Mbps peak [3P] → CRF 18, maxrate 24 M [C]. 小红书 8-12 Mbps advised [3P] → CRF 18, 16 M cap. TikTok/Douyin CRF 20, 12 M cap [C]. X: H.264 High, AAC-LC, 30/60 fps, ≤ ~25 Mbps [3P] → CRF 20, 12 M cap; Instagram / 视频号 CRF 20, 12 M cap [C].
  • Upload caps live in limits.max_bytes (X 512 MB standard, Instagram 4 GB, 视频号 2 GB); vstudio.export warns when a file is over the cap for the account tier.
  • X autoplays muted in the timeline: the profile says captions.burn: recommended, and an X export without --cues warns. Loudness for X / Instagram / 视频号: −14 LUFS / −1.5 dBTP [C; 3P guides cite −14 for Reels].

wechat-channels vertical 1080x1440 (3:4) share card 6:7 (1080x1260) → crops: [6:7] [3P]
x = the video canvas (thumbnail is a frame you pick) – [C]
instagram:reels 1080x1920 4:5 feed, 3:4 profile grid (since 2025), 1:1 (older grid / some surfaces) → title-safe = centre 1080x1080 (y 420-1500) 9:16 + 4:5 [3P, several]; grid 3:4 vs 1:1 vs 4:5 [3P disagree → check all three]
instagram:feed 1080x1350 3:4 grid, 1:1 [3P]

Crop check. For every crop in platform.cover_crops(p) the export writes <target>.cover.crop-4x5.jpg etc. and <target>.cover.crops.jpg (all crops + the title-safe box outlined), and export.cover_crop_check measures the share of busy 48 px tiles (text / faces / detail) in each strip a crop removes: over 15 % → a warning that the headline is probably cut in that view.

Title / description / tags / chapters

Section titled “Title / description / tags / chapters”

Instagram none (first caption line = hook) 2,200 [S: Meta Content Publishing API docs] max 5 per post/reel since Dec 2025 (was 30) [S: Instagram @creators announcement, reported widely]; 3-5 recommended no

Fields: B站 needs a 分区 (category.required; tid through the open platform) and the creator’s own 自制 / 转载 choice - never pre-filled by the desk. platform.check_text counts X weighted (desc_count: x), and hashtags across the tag list AND the #tags already in the body.

Post language. vstudio.publish.platform_post (used by vstudio.export --post) picks the copy per platform: post.json may hold en / zh blocks; English content (detected from the cues, or --lang en) gets English copy on X / Instagram / TikTok / YouTube; --bilingual = English then Chinese. English copy never inherits the persona’s Chinese tags (publish.tag_sets.en is used if present). X copy is shortened by whole sentences to 280 weighted. publish.generate_copy(platform, source) asks the routed LLM (task copy) for copy within these limits.

title_max agrees with vstudio.publish.TITLE_MAX_DEFAULT, and both read the same persona key (platforms.<name>.title_max).

Keep the master caption-free and the cues separate (subs.Cue.to_dict JSON or SRT). Each export then gets captions placed and sized for that platform’s UI. Text burned into a 16:9 master gets cropped off on 3:4 / 9:16. Reframe: face mode follows the main face inside the safe box. If no face is found it uses a blurred fill (pad-blur). A master of the same aspect is a plain ffmpeg scale (no face tracking; manifest says scale).

  • Masters with burned overlays (记笔记 panels, stamps, hook titles): put keepouts in cues.json - {"cues": [...], "keepouts": [{"t0", "t1", "box": [x, y, w, h], "kind"}], "size": [W, H]}, boxes in master px (or 0..1 fractions), final seconds. Each box is mapped through the reframe and the caption moves above / below it while it is on screen (captions_moved_frames in the manifest; a warning if there is no free spot). --no-captions skips burning when the master already has its captions.
  • Keyword colour survives re-burning: 【kw】 markup in cue text, or per cue "hl": ["kw", ...] / [[i, j]] char spans, and "style": {"fill": "#fff", "highlight": "#FFD60A"}.
  • Covers: --cover xiaohongshu=cover_3x4.png --cover douyin=cover_9x16.png gives each target its own cover. A generic --cover of another aspect is fitted on a blurred pad (a centre crop cuts the headline) with a warning - render a real cover per aspect for anything you publish. Outputs: <platform>-<orientation>.mp4, .cover.jpg (+ .cover.feed.jpg), .crop.json, .post.md, and manifest.json (sizes, durations, measured loudness, reframe hit rate, pan stats, warnings).

Platforms added 2026-10

Section titled “Platforms added 2026-10”

Tags as above ([S] / [3P] / [C]). Meta, Pinterest, Reddit and Dailymotion help pages mostly refused automated reads, so several of their numbers are [3P]; no platform below publishes a loudness target → −14 LUFS / −1.5 dBTP [C].

Required choices the desk never makes for the creator: Reddit subreddit (typed by her), flair, NSFW / spoiler; Pinterest board + topics; 微博 投稿 频道 / 标签 / 原创; 知乎 领域 / 话题 / 原创; Dailymotion category / language / made-for-kids; every Chinese platform’s AI 生成内容声明 (《人工智能生成合成内容标识办法》, in force 2025-09-01 [S: https://www.news.cn/legal/20250901/a12108b0b10249e5bae4435269e40c91/c.html]).

Reddit norms. No sitewide 9:1 rule any more: Reddit says some communities use a 10 % self-promotion rule and some ban promotion outright [S: https://support.reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/articles/28012014962580]; spam is never allowed and posts should be in communities you take part in [S: https://support.reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/articles/360043504051-Spam]; don’t flood several communities at once [S: Reddiquette https://support.reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/articles/205926439-Reddiquette]; NSFW must be tagged [S: https://support.reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/articles/15484642147988]. Flair, account age and karma minimums are per subreddit: read the sidebar rules, disclose that it is your own video, upload the file itself (no channel link), and expect some communities to remove it.

Re-checked 2026-10-06: TikTok uploads up to 60 min (in-app recording 10 min; some accounts still 10 min) [S: https://support.tiktok.com/en/using-tiktok/creating-videos/camera-tools] → length.max 3600; 抖音 web 15 min / 4 GB (open-platform spec agrees) → limits.max_bytes. YouTube thumbnails: guides now cite up to 3840x2160 / 50 MB on desktop; 1280x720 ≤ 2 MB stays the safe default [3P]. Link handling is per profile (links, platform.link_policy): check_text warns when a URL is in the text where it is not clickable (Instagram, TikTok, Shorts, 小红书, 抖音 …) or belongs in a link field (Pinterest).
