    Here’s how it works, fully automated:
    1. A new video is uploaded to your YouTube channel<div>

    2. n8n detects the new video (via YouTube API or webhook)

    3. n8n downloads the video using “yt dlp”

    4. n8n runs a shell command using FFmpeg to:</div><div>

    Trim a short section (e.g., from 1:00 to 1:30)

    Crop and resize to vertical (9:16)Optionally add overlays (text, logo)

    5. n8n uploads that short video!to:

    TikTok (via API or webhook)

    YouTube Shorts Facebook/Instagram Reels

    6. Optionally, you get a Telegram or email notification saying “Reel posted”

    </div>
