Overview

Reap lets you schedule posts even before your clips are exported, but direct publishing still requires a finished export. If the Publish button is disabled, it usually means the clip has not been exported yet.

​
Export vs. Schedule

​
How Scheduling Works For Un Exported Clips

  • You can schedule an un exported clip for a future date and time.
  • Reap queues the export in the background.
  • Once export finishes, the clip becomes ready for publishing.
  • If export does not complete before the scheduled time, the scheduled post can fail.
Reap uses a built-in buffer before the scheduled publish time so un exported clips have time to finish processing in the background.

​
Why The Publish Button Is Disabled

If the Publish button is greyed out:
  • The clip has not been exported yet.
  • Direct publishing from the project dashboard requires a finished export file.
  • Export ensures the final video is fully processed before it is sent to the connected platform.

​
How To Fix It

1

Open your project dashboard

Go to the project where the clip is located.
2

Export the clip

Click Export Clip and wait for the processing to start.
3

Wait for export to finish

Let the export complete fully before trying to publish.
4

Publish the clip

Return to the dashboard or calendar. Once the export is ready, the Publish button becomes active.

​
What To Remember

  • Scheduling can happen before export is finished.
  • Direct publishing cannot happen before export is finished.
  • If you want to publish immediately, export the clip first.
