Pick the mode that fits your accounts in Settings → Upload settings — the four tabs there are the four modes. Everything after that is the same upload plan.

Option A — Zernio API (the one-click way)

  1. In Settings → Upload settings, open the Zernio API tab and paste your API key.
  2. Make sure each brand is connected to its Zernio profile (done already if you imported them).
  3. In the hub's Stacks for upload panel, check the stacks to post. The panel lists what is rendered and not yet uploaded; a stack a real run handled leaves the list. The head toggle Uploaded · N brings those back when you want to post one again on purpose.
  4. Choose the start date and window, then start the plan. VidVertex assigns each rendered file to its brand × platform slot and schedules it.
  5. Confirm the pre-flight summary — duplicate warnings and platform limit checks. The button reads Start upload, or Upload anyway when there are warnings.
  6. Watch the posts appear on the Calendar page.

Option B — Zernio CSV

No direct posting: the upload plan writes an import-ready CSV for Zernio's bulk importer. Media over 4 MB wants a Vercel Token in the settings; without one, large files are compressed hard to fit.

Option C — Metricool API

Direct scheduling through Metricool (Advanced plan). Put the API token and User ID in the Metricool API tab, set each brand's Metricool blog ID (Brand editor → Profile), and connect Google Drive — Metricool takes media as a URL, so VidVertex uploads each file to your Drive, hands Metricool the link and deletes its Drive copy once Metricool has re-hosted the file. Snapchat is skipped in every Metricool mode; covers are not sent.

Option D — Metricool (Drive + CSV)

The same Drive hand-off without the API: files are hosted on your Google Drive and a Metricool bulk-upload CSV is written for you to import. Needs the same one-time Google Drive connection — Google Drive setup.

NOTE

Google Drive is never a publishing target of its own. It is the transfer vehicle the two Metricool modes use to hand media over.
