Quick start: from sign-up to your first clips

ViralNote turns your long-form videos into short, viral-ready clips and publishes them across your social platforms. This guide walks you from sign-up to your first published clips.

1. Create your account

Go to dashboard.viralnote.app and sign up. Everything runs in your browser — there's nothing to install.

2. Connect a social account

Before you publish, connect at least one platform (TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn, or X) from Settings → Connections. You can still generate and download clips without connecting an account, but connecting lets ViralNote schedule and auto-post for you.

See Connect your social media accounts for the full walkthrough.

3. Upload your first video

Click Upload and select a long-form video — a podcast episode, webinar, interview, or livestream works best. ViralNote analyzes the audio and identifies the most engaging moments.

The best source videos are:

• Conversational — spoken content, not music or silence
• 30–90 minutes long — long enough to contain many distinct moments
• Clear audio — captions and clip selection rely on understanding speech

4. Review your AI-generated clips

Once processing finishes, ViralNote presents a set of suggested clips, each with a generated caption. Open any clip to:

• Edit the caption text and styling
• Reframe to vertical (9:16) for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts
• Trim the start and end points

See Edit captions, crop, and customize clips for details.

5. Schedule or publish

When a clip is ready, schedule it to one or more connected accounts. ViralNote formats it for each platform and posts at the time you choose.

See Schedule clips and auto-post to every platform.

That's it
