Video to Facebook

How do you get one long video onto your Facebook Page as Reels?

Your Page wants short vertical videos a few times a week. What you have is one long recording. Cutting it into clips, adding captions and posting them to the Page is work that can be done for you.

Why Reels

On a Page, short vertical video is what gets shown

A Page post with a link or a long landscape video mostly reaches the people who already follow you. Reels are shown to people who don't, in the Reels feed and between posts, which is where a Page finds new followers.

Facebook is also watched with the sound off more than most places: in a queue, at work, next to someone asleep. A clip that only makes sense with audio loses those people, so every clip has its captions burned into the picture.

A long video already has the moments a Reel needs. An interview has its best answers, a webinar has its tips, a stream has the minute everyone laughed. Each one can be its own Reel.

Three Reels from one conversation - Each clip stands on its own, with its own captions and its own title, so each one can be posted on a different day.

How it works

From a long video to Reels on your Page

  1. Bring the video

    Upload the file, or paste a YouTube, Twitch, Kick, Rumble or Zoom link.

  2. Get vertical clips

    Short 9:16 clips, each around one moment, with captions burned in and a title written from what is said in it.

  3. Connect your Page

    Sign in with Facebook once and choose which of your Pages the clips go to.

  4. Post or schedule

    Post a clip straight away, or put clips into your content plan and they go out on the days and times you set.

Reel or video

The length decides how Facebook shows it

Facebook only accepts a Reel between 3 and 90 seconds long. Clips in that range are posted as Reels. A longer clip, up to three minutes, is posted to the Page as a regular video, and you are told which one it became, so a long clip never quietly goes missing from Reels.

If you want everything as Reels, set the clip length to 90 seconds or less before you make the clips, and every clip from that video will fit.

Pages, not profiles

Clips go to a Page you manage

Facebook lets apps post to Pages, never to a personal profile. That is Facebook's own rule and it applies to every tool. If you post as yourself today, a free Page with your name is enough.

Manage more than one Page? Pick the one clips should go to in your settings, and switch it whenever you need.

Consistency

One video, a month of Reels.

Set the caption style, font, logo and crop once as a template, and every clip from every future video comes out matching. Reels that look like they belong together are easier to recognise the second time someone sees one.

One setup, every clip

Pick the template on the configure step and the whole batch inherits it - not one clip, all of them.

Your fonts and assets, baked in

Upload a font and pin your overlays once. They land in the same spot on every render, automatically.

It keeps running without you

Point it at your YouTube or Twitch channel and new uploads get clipped to that same template on their own.

Being straight with you

What this does not do

It posts to a Facebook Page, not to a personal profile or a group. Facebook does not allow apps to do either.

And no tool makes a dull moment worth watching. Automatic selection finds the moments that stand on their own; whether your audience wants that moment is still your call, so look through the clips before they go out.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Can SnapDub post videos to Facebook for me?

Yes. Connect your Facebook Page, and a clip is posted to it as a Reel, or as a regular Page video if it is longer than 90 seconds.

Can I post to my personal Facebook profile?

No. Facebook only lets apps post to Pages, never to personal profiles, so this applies to every tool. A free Page with your name works the same way for posting.

How long can a Facebook Reel be?

Between 3 and 90 seconds. Longer clips are posted as regular Page videos instead, and you are told when that happens.

Can I schedule Facebook Reels?

Yes. Add clips to the content plan and each one goes out on the day and time you set.

Do Facebook videos need captions?

Effectively yes. A lot of Facebook is watched with the sound off, so captions are burned into every clip by default.

Can I post the same clip to Facebook and other platforms?

Yes. One clip can go to your Facebook Page, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and the other accounts you connect.
