TikTok makes YOU choose who sees it, every time
TikTok’s content-sharing rules say a third-party tool may not preselect a privacy level, so DeenClipped shows the audience options your account actually allows — fetched live from TikTok rather than from a list we hardcoded — with nothing chosen. You pick. This is the one place in the product where a required setting is deliberately left blank, and if it looks like friction, it is: removing it would fail the very review that governs posting here.
The audiences on offer are your account’s, read live
Which audiences a TikTok account may post to is TikTok's to decide, and it differs between accounts, so DeenClipped never hardcodes the list. It asks your connected account what it currently allows and shows you that — what is on offer is what will actually be accepted. Run Test connection in Channels to refresh it; the panel will not send a clip against an audience TikTok is not currently offering for that account.
Comments, Duet and Stitch come from your account, not from us
Those three settings are fetched from your connected TikTok account when you open the posting panel, so what is offered is what your account actually permits. If your account disables Duet, the option is greyed with the reason. There is also a commercial-content disclosure and a music-usage confirmation, both unticked, both TikTok’s requirements rather than ours.
Cross-posting from YouTube: the part worth thinking about
A clip cut from a YouTube video is yours if the video is yours. If it is not — a lecture from someone else’s channel — posting it to your TikTok is republishing their work under your name, and permission is the answer rather than a watermark. Separately: TikTok’s algorithm treats visibly recycled content less kindly, so a clip that is genuinely cut for vertical, with its own captions, does better than a 16:9 video with bars.
What the clip itself is
Vertical 1080x1920 cropped with face detection, captions burned into the picture and timed to the word, one of five templates. Keep text out of the right-hand column and the bottom band, where TikTok puts its own buttons and caption — the free safe-zone checker on this site shows you exactly where those fall.
Questions
Can I post to TikTok automatically from DeenClipped?
You can schedule it, but not without a decision: TikTok requires the creator to choose a privacy level with nothing preselected, so every clip needs that choice. That one is permanent — it is TikTok’s rule for every third-party tool, not a stage DeenClipped is passing through.
Why did my TikTok post fail with a 403?
TikTok refuses in two parts — a code saying which rule, and a message that is often just a link to its guidelines — so DeenClipped keeps the code and translates the known ones into a sentence. The usual causes are an audience your account does not currently allow, a daily post limit, a duplicate, or a connection that needs reconnecting. The row names which, and Retry re-sends only that destination.
Does DeenClipped add a watermark to TikTok posts?
Only the DeenClipped watermark on the free plan, which paid plans remove. Nothing adds a TikTok or YouTube watermark — the clip is rendered from your source, so it carries whatever was in the original frame and nothing else.
What size should a TikTok video be?
1080x1920, which is what DeenClipped renders. TikTok covers the bottom 484 pixels with its caption and music block and the right 140 with its button column, so keep captions clear of both — roughly the middle of the frame, and never the bottom quarter.
