AstroCEO — Question ·

It says the "file type is incompatible" when I go to publish. Please advise.

Hey @AstroCEO

The YouTube video you're attempting to use doesn't meet Instagram Reels' specifications, which has resulted in the error. To address this issue, consider integrating Creatomate into your workflow, as it can help you convert the file to the precise specifications required by Instagram.

Following the guide, I have Creatomate linked, and pushed a template to do what I need it to do form YouTube. I get the following error:

"The parameter template_id, tags, or source must be provided."

Please advise how I can get Creatomate to take a video once it is published to Youtube, and push out an Instagram Reel variation immediately.

You can't push the video to Instagram directly from Youtube as Youtube doesn't provide any public Url.

But youtube public video URLs are not the direct video urls which can be downloaded and uploaded.

Hmm, then how does like JDownloader, and those YouTube download softwares work?

They are writing script in java to make it downloadable public url.

Would it be possible for me to do the same? Or would it be too logistically difficult? @Himesh

It's difficult. I'm not saying it's not possible for you but you should have knowledge of advance scripting and you need to decrypt the url and make it downloadable which is quite difficult task.
