Stock Footage Autopilot

If you sell stock footage, every clip means the same routine three times over: upload it to Adobe Stock, then Shutterstock, then Pond5, and write a title, a description and dozens of keywords for each one.

Stock Footage Autopilot is a downloadable Claude skill for Mac that takes that part off your hands. Drop a finished clip into a folder. It checks the clip against each site's rules, uploads it through each site's own official bulk-upload server, then Claude looks at frames from your footage and writes the title, description, 25-49 keywords and categories for every site, applies them with each site's own CSV metadata feature, and submits the clip for review. When every site has it, the file moves to your Published folder.

A dashboard on your own Mac shows every clip and gives you the buttons that run it: drop clips onto the page, check now, test your logins, pause the automatic checks, and see why anything is held.

Duplicates are never uploaded twice, AI-made clips go to Adobe Stock only and are flagged, clips showing recognizable people or logos are held back for releases, and clips you already sell exclusively elsewhere can be put on a never-upload list. Your passwords are stored only in your Mac's Keychain, and there is nothing to pay monthly.

You need a Mac, the Claude desktop app with the free Claude in Chrome extension, Python 3 and ffmpeg, and your own contributor accounts on the sites you sell on. Setup takes about fifteen minutes and the skill walks you through it.
