Upload and check
Each clip goes to a dated Dropbox folder, and the copy is compared with the original before anything else happens.
AI System · Video Workflow
Content Autopilot
Hand it a folder of raw footage. The clips go to Dropbox, your editor's task and a backup, then off your Mac. Finished edits post on schedule.
Nobody drags files, nothing left on your disk
Finished videos post through your own Blotato
Deletes nothing until three checks pass
What it replaces
Moving footage around by hand is done
Dragging clips into Dropbox
Hours of uploads, and nobody checks that the copy matches
Writing editor tasks by hand
Wrong link pasted, deadline forgotten, task never made
A disk full of old shoots
You keep the raw files because deleting them feels risky
Posting videos one at a time
Download, upload, paste the caption, pick a time, repeat
How it works
From camera folder to posting schedule
You point Claude at a folder. Each clip goes to Dropbox and is checked against the original, your editor gets a task with the link, and a small backup copy goes to Cloudflare R2. Only then are the files on your Mac deleted. When the task comes back with the finished video link and a caption and is marked Ready to Post, a daily job on your Mac schedules it through your Blotato using that caption.

- 2
Open the editor's task
One task per video in Notion with the Dropbox link, the editor and the deadline. Use another task tool and Claude writes the adapter for it.
- 3
Back up a small copy
A 1080p copy goes to your Cloudflare R2 bucket and is read back in full to confirm it arrived intact.
- 4
Clear your disk
Local copies are deleted only after the Dropbox copy matches, the task reads back with its link, and the backup reads back from R2. Camera cards, external drives and iCloud or other synced folders are never deleted; the report tells you whether a card or drive is safe to format.

Post on schedule
Tasks marked Ready to Post, with the finished video link, a caption and platforms, get a date and go out through your Blotato. No caption means no post, and the daily brief says so.
What you need before you start
A Mac with Homebrew, plus your own Dropbox, Notion and Blotato accounts and a Cloudflare account with two R2 buckets, one with a public domain. Use a different task tool and Claude writes an adapter for it. Resend is optional, for the daily email.
A Mac and your own accounts

Have your accounts ready
Dropbox for the footage, Notion for the editor's tasks, two Cloudflare R2 buckets for backups and posting files (one with a public domain), and Blotato for publishing.
- 3
Run setup in your Terminal
You run the setup command yourself, since it asks questions only you can answer. It checks the tools, connects each account and creates your Notion content database, then Claude runs the doctor check.
- 4
Hand off your first folder
Point it at a shoot. When the task comes back with the finished video link and a caption and is marked Ready to Post, the daily job puts it on your calendar.
Step 3 in detail
Setup, screen by screen
You run setup in your own Terminal, Claude runs the doctor, handoff and calendar commands, and step 10 happens in Notion. After the first time, only steps 9 and 10 repeat, once per shoot and once per finished edit.

Install the skill
Once you are a member, sign in from this page and copy your personal install command from the member portal. Claude Code picks it up the next time it starts.
- 2
Check the tools
Setup checks for ffmpeg and rclone. If one is missing, it prints the Homebrew command, and Claude can run it for you.
- 3
Log in to Dropbox
Setup opens the Dropbox sign-in in your browser so you can approve access. There is no app to create and no key to copy. Afterwards setup saves the connection and the doctor checks it with a test write.
- 4
Create your R2 buckets
In Cloudflare, create two R2 buckets, one for backups and one for videos waiting to post. Connect a public domain to the posting bucket so Blotato can fetch each file, and make an R2 API token. Setup asks for your account id, the token, the bucket names and the public URL.
- 5
Let setup build your Notion database
Paste a Notion integration key, pick a page and connect the integration to it from the page's ... menu under Connections. Setup creates the Content database with every field the kit reads.
- 6
Add your Blotato key
Paste your Blotato API key and enter the Blotato account id for each platform you post to.
- 7
Add Resend (optional)
With a Resend key, the daily brief arrives by email. Without one, it is saved on your Mac and you get a notification.
- 8
Run the doctor check
One command tests every connection and every field in your Notion database. Anything wrong is named, so you know what to fix.
- 9
Run your first handoff
Point it at a folder of footage. You get one task per video, a checked Dropbox copy, a backup in R2 and your local files cleared.
- 10
Mark a task Ready to Post
When the edit is done, add the finished video link and the caption, pick the platforms, and set the status to Ready to Post. A task with no caption is listed in the brief and never posted.
- 11
Install the daily schedule
One command adds a background job that runs every morning at 7:00, or earlier if you post before 8. It picks post dates, sends each due video to Blotato and writes your daily brief.
