Every platform from one edit
Dollop turns one project into separate versions for YouTube, YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels and TikTok. Each vertical version gets its own hook, a 9:16 crop that follows your face, and captions placed clear of the platform’s buttons and text. The versions share your footage but not their edits, so trimming the Short doesn’t change the YouTube cut.
How a vertical version is made
Ask for it in chat (“make a TikTok version, don’t reuse the intro”) or create the version from the project, then edit it like any timeline.
- It can open on the strongest line in your footage, so the Short doesn’t have to start with your long-form intro
- The crop follows your face as you move, at 1080×1920
- Captions sit inside the platform’s safe area and are burned in
- Footage without speech is cut from its shots instead
Versions are independent
Each version is its own timeline built from the same footage. Trim, reorder or recaption one without touching the others, or send a chat edit to all platform versions at once.
Exports made for each platform
Each version exports with settings for its platform: 1080×1920 for Shorts, Reels and TikTok, 1080p or 4K for YouTube, with loudness set to −14 LUFS. You can also choose the resolution (720p to 4K), frame rate, quality, H.264 or HEVC, and MP4 or MOV.
Free and Creator export up to 1080p. Pro and Studio export up to 4K and add ProRes masters. Exports per month: 5 on Free, 60 on Creator, unlimited on Pro and Studio.
Thumbnails and posting
One thumbnail design renders for every version at its platform’s size, and the content calendar posts each version to its platform at the time you pick.
Questions
No. Dollop drafts each version from your footage and edit, and you only change what you want to be different.
Captions are placed inside each platform’s safe area, away from the buttons and text it draws over the video. A position that falls inside those zones is moved out of them.
1080×1920 by default. Pro and Studio can export up to 4K; Free and Creator up to 1080p.
Yes. When there’s no speech, the version is cut from the footage’s shots instead of a transcript.
