Can PostHub publish both Shorts and long-form videos?

Both. Long-form uploads carry title, description, chapters, thumbnail and playlist placement; Shorts carry the vertical file, on-screen hook and tags. They share one calendar so a Short never collides with your main upload.

How long can a YouTube description be?

YouTube allows 5000 characters. The composer keeps a live count, and chapters written as "0:00 Intro" timestamps are validated before the video is queued so no chapter silently fails.

Do scheduled videos keep their thumbnail?

Yes. Pick any of the three thumbnails you uploaded — or let PostHub suggest one — and that exact frame is sent with the scheduled upload. Nothing falls back to an auto-selected frame at publish time.

Will my video go public the moment it finishes uploading?

You choose. Publish immediately when the upload completes, or hold it as private until the scheduled minute and then flip visibility — useful when a premiere time matters more than the upload time.

Can I manage more than one channel?

Connect each channel separately and PostHub keeps its own queue, analytics and branding. Switching channels never signs you out of the others.

Upload once, publish like a network: chapters written in advance, a thumbnail chosen from three candidates, and every Short slotted between your long-form releases — all on one calendar.

Shorts and long-form, one calendar

Vertical clips fill the gaps between your big uploads. Both formats draft in the same composer and publish through YouTube's own API — the calendar keeps them from colliding.

Shorts

Vertical, fast, 60 seconds

Upload 9:16, add the on-screen hook and a #Shorts tag, and queue it between your long uploads so the channel never goes quiet.

Three frames in, one winner out

Upload every candidate thumbnail with the video. PostHub shows each option with its historical click-through, keeps the winner attached to the schedule, and swaps it in a click if the numbers change before publish.

Consistency shows up in the curve

Channels that publish on a fixed rhythm compound. PostHub keeps the schedule full and reports the subscriber delta next to every upload, so you can see which cadence is actually paying off.
