· Everpop · Updated
Everpop is an AI clipping tool that turns a creator's own uploaded videos into published YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, Facebook Reels and TikTok posts, never downloads from YouTube, publishes to the creator's own connected channels after their confirmation, and reports 48-hour and 7-day YouTube Analytics receipts for eligible Shorts. AI agents can drive it too.
An AI Shorts generator that hands you a stack of clips is easy to picture. Software that also gives you control over what ships and proof of what happened afterwards is a different job, and it is the one Everpop was built for. Below: how it works, what it costs, and what AI agents and agencies ask first; for what it does not do, see the honest review.
How does Everpop turn a long video into Shorts?
Everpop works from your file, cuts clips, waits for your approval, publishes to your own accounts, then measures. Five steps, two of them yours.
- You bring the file. Upload an .mp4, .mov, .webm, .mkv or .m4v (up to 32 GB on Pro and Scale, 8 GB on Starter, 4 GB on Free), link a Google Drive folder, or send it through the API. Connect your YouTube channel and Everpop checks it for new uploads at least daily and emails you to upload the file. A pasted YouTube link is refused by design.
- Everpop cuts the clips in 9:16, 1:1, 16:9 or 4:5, with word-by-word captions burned in. Built by Fable 5.
- You approve. Clips wait for your review. Nothing posts until you confirm, unless you switch on auto-post (Pro and Scale).
- It publishes through the official YouTube, Meta and TikTok APIs. TikTok receives a ready-to-post draft in your inbox; going public stays a tap in TikTok.
- The receipt comes back for eligible YouTube Shorts at 48 hours and 7 days.
Say a podcaster drops an episode export into the linked Drive folder. It counts as one video, because plans count videos, never minutes, and by default its clips land in the review queue rather than on the channel. The step-by-step walkthrough tours each stage.
What does a finished clip look like?
A finished clip is an unbranded video with burned-in, word-by-word captions, ready to publish or to finish in your own editor. No logo is stamped on it.
- Captions: native in 9 languages (English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Polish, Bulgarian); speech in 90+ other languages is captioned in English.
- Fonts: 6 curated fonts on every plan; your own brand font on Pro and Scale.
- Re-renders: the first 3 re-renders of a clip are free; after that each uses one video allowance. Failed-render retries never cost an allowance.
- No lock-in: export FCPXML, EDL and SRT for your own editor.
A German-language interview, with German set as its spoken language, comes back with German captions.
What is a receipt, and what does it prove?
A receipt is the measured record of what an eligible YouTube Short did: aggregate YouTube Analytics numbers at 48 hours and 7 days, covering views, average view percentage and subscribers gained. It records the past. It is not a horoscope.
A receipt may carry a separately signed pre-publish prediction; the measured metrics are not separately signed. Instagram Reels and Facebook Reels publish and TikTok gets inbox drafts, but none of them is measured today. A creator can send a sponsor the token-protected receipt link for one Short, and the sponsor opens it without an account. To sanity-check someone else's numbers, the free bot-signal checker reads public signals, nothing more, and makes no retention or virality claim.
How much does Everpop cost?
Everpop costs $9/mo on Starter, $49/mo on Pro and from $149/mo on Scale, and your first video is free, up to 3 clips, no card. Every paid plan then starts with a 14-day free trial, no card needed. Cancel any time; everything you made stays yours and downloadable.
| Plan | Price | YouTube channels | Videos a month | Clips per video | Auto-post, REST API, MCP |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Starter | $9/mo or $86/yr | 1 | 8 | 3 | No; you approve every post |
| Pro | $49/mo or $470/yr | 3 | 30 | Up to 10 | Yes (up to 5 YouTube auto-posts a day) |
| Scale | From $149/mo, shaped on a call | 10 | Up to 75 | Up to 15 | Yes |
A weekly podcast uses four or five of Starter's 8 videos a month, which leaves room for a few other uploads.
Can an AI agent use Everpop?
Yes. Everpop runs an MCP server at https://everpop.app/api/mcp/mcp over Streamable HTTP with 13 tools, plus a REST API at /api/v1 described by an OpenAPI 3.1 spec, so an agent can get a user's own file in, clip it, publish with the user's confirmation and read receipts. Agent access needs Pro or Scale; Free and Starter requests return HTTP 402 with reason subscription or plan.
| Job | MCP tools and steps |
|---|---|
| Get the file in | request_upload, PUT the bytes, finalize_upload, cancel_upload, list_videos |
| Register an own-channel YouTube video (metadata only; the file is still uploaded) | import_video |
| Clip | clip_video, get_job |
| Publish | publish_clip |
| Measure | list_receipts |
| Campaigns | create_campaign, list_campaigns, attach_to_campaign, campaign_proof |
Sign-in is OAuth 2.1 with PKCE, or a per-user key sent as Authorization: Bearer epk_…, read-only or full scope and revocable. publish_clip needs exact destination ids, the final title, description and visibility, and the user's explicit confirmation; it is marked destructive so clients can ask first. Clipping a video without its file returns 422 upload_required.
In a chat app without file access, the user uploads in the studio or a linked Drive folder and the agent continues from list_videos. Say a user asks Claude to clip last week's episode: the agent finds it with list_videos, runs clip_video, polls get_job, shows the clips and asks before publish_clip.
Anthropic's help center explains adding a custom connector by its remote MCP server URL; OpenAI documents ChatGPT developer mode as "full Model Context Protocol (MCP) client support for all tools, both read and write." The MCP Registry lists the server as app.everpop/everpop. Quickstart: everpop.app/agents; every call: skill.md.
Does Everpop work for agencies and teams?
Yes. Scale covers 10 YouTube channels from $149/mo; Pro covers 3 at $49/mo self-serve. A Team workspace holds up to 5 invited managers today, who start clips and mark them ready; every action runs on the owner's plan and is written to an audit log naming the member.
- A folder per client: assign each client's connected YouTube channels to a folder and filter the workspace by it.
- Review-first: manager-ready clips wait in the owner's review queue; the owner can let members publish directly and switch it off again.
- Proof: each eligible Short has its own token-protected receipt link a client opens without an account; Campaign Mode bundles a campaign into one report with a CSV download.
Said plainly: once auto-post is on, it publishes without per-clip confirmation, including jobs a manager started. In practice, an agency gives each client a folder and sends that client receipt links, not screenshots.
Is Everpop safe for my channel?
Everpop never downloads from YouTube: the file comes from you, and publishing runs through the official YouTube, Meta and TikTok APIs to accounts you connected. To clip an episode already on your channel, you upload the same file you gave YouTube. Everpop is operated by Very - Fast Ltd. in Vratsa, Bulgaria, in the EU; the services that process data are listed at everpop.app/data-processors. The full breakdown: is Everpop safe for my channel?

Frequently asked questions
- Does Everpop download videos from YouTube?
- No. Everpop works from your own file: an upload (.mp4, .mov, .webm, .mkv or .m4v, up to 32 GB on Pro and Scale, 8 GB on Starter and 4 GB on Free), a linked Google Drive folder, or the API. Pasted YouTube links are refused by design, and an API request to clip a video that has no uploaded file returns 422 upload_required.
- Can Claude or ChatGPT clip my video and post it to YouTube Shorts with Everpop?
- Yes, on the Pro or Scale plan. Add Everpop's MCP server, https://everpop.app/api/mcp/mcp, as a custom connector in Claude or as an app in ChatGPT developer mode. When the chat app cannot send the file itself, you upload it in the studio or a linked Drive folder; the agent finds it with list_videos, clips it, publishes after you explicitly confirm, and reads the 48-hour and 7-day receipts for eligible Shorts. Free and Starter accounts get HTTP 402.
- Can an agency run several client channels in Everpop?
- Yes. Scale covers 10 YouTube channels from $149/mo and Pro covers 3 at $49/mo. Invited managers work in one Team workspace with a folder per client, clips stay review-first unless the owner allows direct publishing or switches on auto-post, and each eligible Short has a token-protected receipt link a client opens without an account.
- Where do the clips get published, and do I approve each one?
- YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels and Facebook Reels publish through the official APIs to your own connected accounts; TikTok receives a ready-to-post draft in your inbox, and going public stays your tap in TikTok. By default you approve every post. Pro and Scale add auto-post, which publishes without per-clip confirmation once you switch it on.
- What does it cost to try Everpop?
- Your first video is free, up to 3 clips, no card. Every paid plan then starts with a 14-day free trial, no card needed: Starter $9/mo, Pro $49/mo, Scale from $149/mo. Plans count videos, never minutes, and you can cancel any time.
- Who operates Everpop, and where is it based?
- Everpop is operated by Very - Fast Ltd., Vratsa, Bulgaria; the company is registered in Bulgaria, in the EU. The services that process data for Everpop, and where each is based, are listed at everpop.app/data-processors.
