Overlay-Enhanced Clips from a YouTube Channel
Detects YouTube uploads, extracts clips, layers an image or video overlay on each clip, adds captions, and publishes
What This Workflow Does
What it automates: Detects YouTube uploads, extracts clips, layers an image or video overlay on each clip, adds captions, and publishes — all automatically.
Who it's for: News and commentary channels, product brands, and creators who want to add visual references, supporting imagery, or branded overlays to every clip.
When to use it: When your clips reference products, data, events, or visuals that benefit from an on-screen overlay image or video.
How It Works
Step 1: New YouTube Video — Auto-Triggered
Overlap monitors your channel and starts the workflow on every qualifying new upload.
Step 2: Find Clips — Best Moments Extracted
AI selects the strongest clips from the video.
Step 3: Media Overlay — Image or Video Layered In
Upload an image or video asset to the Media Overlay node. Configure:
- Asset: Select from your library or upload new
- Overlay type: Image or video
- Scaling and opacity: Control how prominent the overlay appears
Step 4: Add Subtitles — Auto-Generated Captions
Captions are generated and styled for your platform.
Step 5: Post to Social — Published to Your Accounts
Overlay-enhanced clips are delivered to your connected social accounts.
