Auto-Convert Long Videos into Shorts -Watermarked & Multi-Platform Posting(Reddit, adult tube sites, X and telegram)

Hi BHW,​

Before you start reading, I’m not here to sell anything. I’m looking for feedback, opinions, ideas, and suggestions from people who have experience with automation and video publishing.

I’ve been building an automation project that has become quite challenging. It has a lot of moving parts, and every time I fix one bug, another one seems to appear.

Here’s what the application currently does:

General Information​

• Application size: approximately 1 GB
• Folders: 500
• Files: approximately 3,400

Current Features​

1. Convert long videos into Shorts/Reels

You can upload a long video, and the application automatically converts it into multiple short clips.

You can choose the duration of each clip according to your needs.

2. Watermark & aspect-ratio customization

You can add a watermark to your videos, such as:

• Your website URL
• Your channel name
• Custom text

The watermark can be positioned in 9 different locations on the video.

You can also customize:

• Opacity
• Font style
• Bold/italic formatting
• Other text settings

The application also allows you to change the video aspect ratio. For example, a 16:9 video can be converted to 9:16 for Shorts/Reels, or you can keep the original ratio.

3. Telegram uploading

You can select which clips you want to upload — either all generated clips or only specific ones.

Telegram can be connected in two ways:

• API ID + API Hash — the fastest option and supports uploading files larger than 2 GB.
• Bot Token — easier to configure, but significantly slower.

I’ve tested this functionality and, so far, everything is working well.

4. Reddit & X

I haven’t implemented Reddit and X posting yet. I’m planning to work on those later.

The Biggest Challenge: Tube Sites​

The most difficult part of this project is uploading videos to adult tube sites.

Unlike Telegram, many adult tube sites don’t provide an API that can be used for automated uploads. Their upload processes also involve multiple steps.

For example, I made my first attempt with XFree.com, using cookies to access my account, but the approach failed.

At the moment, I’m considering another method: automatically opening a browser tab, navigating through the upload process, and handling everything without requiring any manual clicks.

The downside is that browser-based automation would be much slower.

The Goal​

My long-term goal is to build a system capable of publishing hundreds of videos across hundreds of tube sites with as little manual work as possible.

I believe the watermark functionality could also be particularly useful for this type of workflow.

I’m still actively developing the project, so I’d really appreciate feedback from people who have experience with:

• Video automation
• Browser automation
• Mass publishing
• Tube-site uploading
• Multi-platform content distribution
• Scaling automated workflows

What would you do differently?

Are there better approaches for handling the upload process?

Do you think browser automation is the right direction, or is there another approach I should consider?

I’d really appreciate your feedback, opinions, ideas, and suggestions.

I will upload the project on GitHub if everything go well

Thanks in advance to anyone who takes the time to read this and share their experience.

thank you!
everything now works well with telegram but I don't find the best way to auto post on adult tube sites
for telegram the things are well
I add some features like adding intro in the beginning of each short automatically

I have an automation posting on X and reddit and the browser part and sessions is the hard part. Puppeteer and selenium are easy to detect now. Use chrome cdp in your workflow for the magic.
