Automatically link related video to the short on youtube.
under review

I second what Ripper wrote below. I also had Gemini 2.5 pro scour the youtube api docs and this feature is internal to Google and the webui. there is no official API endpoint for this, like for some other features (e.g. the checkbox is ist AI generated for long form content). You simply cannot change this.
I currently always copy paste the youtube url when scheduling to all plattforms (or have a "➡️ Link 🔗 in Bio " text ready where links dont work anyhow like TikTok).
Once per day I go to google studio and manually change the related video

Hi Guys,
I had a look at the API documentation but there is no way to add a related video via the API. I assume you are using the API to upload the shorts and publish them. Is it possible for you to do a feature request with youtube to add that to the api functions? And subsequently add a feature to OPUSClip to add a related video to the clips this would be super helpful in driving up engagemetn on the long form videos.
Thanks
Ripper

Like many OpusClip users, I use one of my long form YouTube videos to produce shorts to promote the long form video. Can you add a field to your 'Get clips with 1 clip' feature that can have the 'Related Video' url of the long form video and upload that when posting to YouTube? It would be helpful and I think your customers would appreciate not having to manually link every short published, thus saving time and repetitive effort. Thank you.

I believe this is a YouTube limitation:
What is NOT possible via API: Define specific related videos (as shown in the “Choose a specific video” modal); Link shorts to long videos using native functionality; Access/modify the “Related video (?)” section from YouTube Studio

I'd love adding automatically the link to the original video in the descriptions for social share.
I think is a feature not for all, so if everyone can be activate or deactivate it from social share screen, will be awsome and helpfull :)

The missing tool is the only reason why I haven’t made the purchase yet.

Hi Opus Clip Team,
I’ve been really enjoying using Opus Clip to repurpose my long-form content into engaging shorts—thank you for such a helpful tool!
I wanted to suggest a feature that would streamline the workflow even more:
Would it be possible to automatically include the link to the original long video in the shorts you generate from it?
This could be:
Inserted as a text overlay at the end of the short
Automatically added to the video description or metadata (where supported)
Or included as a customizable caption template
This small addition would really help drive traffic back to the full video and make cross-promotion more efficient.

Please move up in the priority list! Shorts are almost pointless if we can't link them to the main videos that encourage subscribers, provide descriptions, links to our products and services. Not sure if this is "Under Review" for a year and a half because you're trying to figure out how to add this or if it's something else?
