Repurpose content from Tiktok To Youtube Shorts fails

:bullseye: What is your goal?

I’m repurposing my tiktok contets on facebook, instagram and youtube. on this platform i’m havinga lot of troubles and wasting my credits.

:thinking: What is the problem?

The automation process succedes, it upload a file, BUT the youtube platform says: processing abandoned.

:test_tube: What have you tried so far?

module 1 MAKE request form tiktok api to get video information.
module 2 route the file to facebook and instagram, worked like a charm.
when i route to YOUTUBE it works but the upload does not succeded.

i tried to use http GET A FILE module before youtube but IT DIDNT WORK.

Integration HTTP.blueprint (2).json (38.4 KB)



Welcome to the Make community!

What are the details when you click on “Learn more”…?

Hi, I have done further investigations.

Initially, I thought it was an invalid format file.

Then, I tried to do the automation uploading the file to goggle drive via Google drive module.

It succeeded.

Unlucky, the mp4 file uploaded to drive is 500 b instead of 600kb.

Incredibly small.

When downloaded from DRIVE, I open it with VLC and it works on my pc.

When I upload the 500B file from Pc or from Google drive module, YouTube gives the PROCESSING ABANDONED error.

If I download manually the file from the URL that, it’s 600kb, and I can upload it manually successfully to YouTube.

Why the dose is shrinked so much? It does not happen to Facebook and Instagram.

You have incorrectly mapped the file data in the YouTube module. Please provide screenshots of it.

To allow others to assist you with your scenario, please provide the following:

1. All Relevant Screenshots

We need to see what you’re working with to give you the best advice. Screenshots are extremely important because Make is a visual editor — a picture provides us with more context.

It would help us identify the issue by having screenshots of:

  • the full scenario,
  • the zoomed in section of the scenario that you are referring to (if your scenario is huge),
  • a full scenario run/execution (showing output “speech” bubbles),
  • any error messages,
  • individual module fields,
  • relevant filter settings (conditions), and
  • each module’s output bundles
  • any external services (spreadsheet headers, sample data, regex101.com, etc.), for example, to show that the item/record exists and set up correctly

You can upload images here using the Upload icon in the text editor:

We would appreciate it if you could upload screenshots here instead of linking to them outside of the forum. This allows us to zoom in on the image when clicked, and avoid tracking cookies from third-party websites.

My full scenario:

MODULE 1 - HTTP MAKE REQUEST

this is the configuration of the HTTP module.

THIS is the URL from where i get the video:

https://v77.tiktokcdn-eu.com/10ea76685585cfc9b6326befee948499/69276242/video/tos/no1a/tos-no1a-ve-0068c001-no/o8GSeJusPAfahjwqAgLEPnIGTeTt2nZILIDg9Q/?a=1233&bti=M0BzMzU8OGYpNzo5Zi5wIzEuLjpkNDQwOg%3D%3D&ch=0&cr=13&dr=0&er=0&lr=all&net=0&cd=0|0|0|&cv=1&br=788&bt=394&cs=0&ds=6&ft=pfEtKMzm8Zmo05Pr~x4jVaHp25WrKsd.&mime_type=video_mp4&qs=0&rc=NTdnNjY1OGVmaWU1Z2VnZUBpamVmc3A5cmxmNzMzbzczNUA1MjYwNF5eNTQxMjAvMF4uYSM1bzRkMmRjb2NhLS1kMTFzcw%3D%3D&vvpl=1&l=20251126042528DD39F2CF28830E3CA531&btag=e000b0000

the FILE SIZE is 535 kB, and its easly uploaded to youtbe via manual upload.

Module 2- FACEBOOK

Module 3 - INSTAGRAM

Module 4 - YOUTUBE

an this is th output.

My test: UPLOAD the file to GOOGLE DRIVE

the file link is

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ZgFrW27N9W2MHb9OeKjZkb1tz01OnhFg/view?usp=drive_link

the file can be downloaded but cant be uploaded on youtube because is too small.

Any help or solution? im driving crazy….

Incorrect. Use a “Get a file” module first.

the “play” variable does not contain the actual video contents.

Does the Module Require You to Map File Data?

Did you forget to download the file using the file’s link/URL? If it’s not downloaded to the scenario, the next module can’t access the file binary data (contents).

To do this, you can use the HTTPGet a File” module with the file URL that you need to download. Your file has to be publicly accessible on the internet (doesn’t require authentication).

For more information, see Working with files - Help Center.

More Than One File?

If you have an Array of multiple file URLs, you can use an Iterator module, and map the resulting bundle value/URL to the “Get a file” module.

To download multiple files before proceeding to the next module, you can use an Array Aggregator.

Hope this helps! If you are still having trouble, please provide more details.

Hi, im sorry, but i dont get where im mistaking. I have changed the scenario in this way:

it doesnt work

My URL is in DATA - PLAY

https://v77.tiktokcdn-eu.com/bfce03b99c9241f32c540a2497d8ae7b/692cc955/video/tos/no1a/tos-no1a-ve-0068c001-no/oEtejZEUSgIPIfLazDPLzguIQsGhG7A2TAeN3T/?a=1233&bti=MzU8OGYpNHYpNzo5ZjEuLjpkLTptNDQwOg%3D%3D&ch=0&cr=13&dr=0&er=0&lr=all&net=0&cd=0|0|0|&cv=1&br=788&bt=394&cs=0&ds=6&eid=5376&ft=XsFbEqq3mXbPD12.0GSs3wUIjhfBjeF~O5&mime_type=video_mp4&qs=0&rc=NWVpPGZlOjVnN2g5NmZpOkBpamVmc3A5cmxmNzMzbzczNUA2NF9gYmFjNS4xNS1iXjAvYSM1bzRkMmRjb2NhLS1kMTFzcw%3D%3D&vvpl=1&l=202511300646346F8E715120BADEEE23E4&btag=e000b0000

MODULE 2 - GET A FILE

this file has ben scraped from my tiktok because there is no tiktok module.

module 3 youtube configuration

it gives the same output.

Im sorry i’m really disorented…

More, why with Facebook and Instagram it works?

You cannot “Run this module only”. The “Data” you put in from the Output Bundle in the Get a file module is only a truncated preview of the full file.

You cannot individually run a single module if you don’t have example input data values for each required field, which you must input into the dialog box when you manually run a single module. This is because when you run a module directly, the mapped variables in the fields are null (do not contain any value).

Instead, try running the full scenario by clicking the “Run Once” button:

For more information, see these duplicate questions previously asked and answered by other community members:

Hope this helps! If you are still having trouble, please provide more details.

Dear friend, it worked.

I didnt understand that the DATA was a sample and not the entire file.

thank you.

So, this is my scenario.

Why does facebook and istagram works withoud the GET A FILE MODULE?

Because they accept a link to a file publicly hosted on the internet…
