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
| Action | Purpose | When you can do it | Requirement |
|---|---|---|---|
| Export Clip | Process and render the final video file | Anytime after editing | Required before direct publishing |
| Schedule Post | Add the clip to the calendar for automatic posting later | Even if the clip is not exported yet | Export must finish before the scheduled time |
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.
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
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.
