Content importing

Single, manual bulk and fully automatic imports — including YouTube Shorts, video thumbnails, the activity log and what to do when an import misbehaves.

  • Single video import

    Paste a YouTube URL or video ID under Videos → Add New and Video Hub creates the post with its title and content already filled in.

  • Import videos manually (search, preview, select)

    Search YouTube or load a channel or playlist feed, preview the results and import exactly the videos you pick.

  • Automatic video import

    Import a channel, a playlist or a user’s uploads and keep importing the new videos as they are published, on a schedule, in the background.

  • Import estimate and activity log

    See how long an automatic import needs to finish its feed, how many videos it imported and why some videos were skipped.

  • YouTube Shorts and vertical videos

    Video Hub embeds every video with its real proportions, so Shorts play vertically — and you decide whether Shorts are imported at all.

  • Video image import

    Import YouTube thumbnails as featured images while importing, or in bulk for video posts that already exist.

  • Video import debugging

    Install the debug utility to get a detailed log of each automatic import as it runs and see exactly what is happening.
