Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about OneCut.

General

What is OneCut?

+
OneCut is a multi-platform video distribution tool that lets you upload a video once and deploy it to YouTube Shorts, TikTok, Instagram Reels, Facebook Reels, and X simultaneously. AI generates platform-optimized titles, captions, and hashtags for each platform.

How much time does OneCut save?

+
On average, what takes 30 minutes for manual multi-platform uploading now takes 5 minutes. That's roughly 2 hours saved per week. The more videos you post, the bigger the savings.

What video formats are supported?

+
OneCut supports MP4 and MOV formats, up to 500MB per file. The resolution and length should be compatible with all 5 platforms (vertical 9:16 recommended for Shorts/Reels/TikTok).

How are AI captions generated?

+
Anthropic Claude (via OpenRouter) analyzes your video title and content body, then generates platform-specific text. YouTube gets SEO-optimized titles, TikTok gets hooky one-liners, Instagram gets emotional captions, etc. Outputs Korean, English, or Japanese based on your language setting.

Platform connections

Which platforms support auto-posting?

+
Currently YouTube Shorts, TikTok, and Facebook Reels support full auto-posting. Instagram Reels is pending Meta App Review for public release. X (Twitter) and Threads are coming soon. Snapchat doesn't allow auto-posting, so we provide a manual share link instead.

Why can't I connect Instagram?

+
Instagram requires a Business or Creator account to connect with OneCut. Personal accounts don't have API access. Switch your account type in Instagram app → Profile → Settings → Account Type. You'll also need to connect a Facebook Page.

Can I post to multiple accounts on the same platform?

+
Currently OneCut supports one account per platform. Multi-account support is on our roadmap.

What happens when I disconnect an account?

+
Clicking "Disconnect" on the Connect page immediately revokes the OAuth token. OneCut can no longer access that platform. Previously deployed videos remain on the platform as-is.

Billing & plans

What does the Free plan include?

+
The Free plan includes 5 video deploys per month, free forever. AI captions, analytics, and 5-platform connections are all included.

How does paid billing work?

+
Paid plans are billed via Paddle (Visa, MasterCard, Amex, etc.). Paddle is the Merchant of Record and handles all tax compliance. Billing is in USD. Beta users get 50% off the first month with BETA50 (auto-applied). 3-day free trial then auto-renews monthly.

How do I cancel my subscription?

+
Click the "Manage subscription" link in any Paddle billing email, or go to Dashboard → Plan → Manage subscription. Cancel anytime before your next billing date to avoid further charges. Payments already processed are non-refundable.

Technical & security

Are my passwords safe?

+
OneCut never stores your platform passwords. All connections use OAuth, and only access tokens are stored (encrypted) in Supabase.

Where are my uploaded videos stored?

+
Videos are stored in Supabase Storage, in folders separated per user. Row-Level Security policies ensure only you can access your own videos. You can request file deletion anytime after deployment.

Can I close the browser during deployment?

+
Yes. Deployments run on Inngest's background workers, so closing the browser won't stop the upload. You'll get an email notification when all platforms finish.

How do I request data deletion?

+
Send an email to getonecut@gmail.com with subject "Account deletion request" from your registered email. All personal data and video files will be deleted within 30 days.
