ManyVids and iWantClips: bulk upload and automatic upload options

When sellers ask for a bulk upload, they usually mean two different things without noticing. The first is moving files: getting twenty videos from a hard drive to the site without starting each one by hand. The second is creating listings: giving each of those twenty videos a title, a description, categories, tags, a price and a date.

ManyVids and iWantClips both help with the first half. The second half is where the hours go. Keeping the two apart makes it much easier to see which tool solves which problem.

The two halves of every upload

A faster connection fixes the first half. Only better preparation or software fixes the second.

ManyVids: what the site offers

The ManyVids help centre answers the question directly: you can upload multiple vids at once. The method is the same as for a single vid. You select several files or drag and drop them together. They start uploading right away, are processed after the upload, and are added to your upload queue.

For formats, the help centre names MP4, M4V and MOV.

What follows is the listing. Each vid in the queue needs its own details before it can go live. That part is not shortened by selecting many files, and it is the reason a "bulk" session on ManyVids still means sitting at the form for every vid.

Making a ManyVids batch faster by hand

• Convert before you upload. Export in one of the accepted formats, so nothing is rejected after a long transfer.
• Start the files first. Let the queue fill while you prepare the copy. Transfer and processing do not need you.
• Have the copy ready in a text file. Title, description and tags per vid, in upload order. Pasting is faster than writing in the form.
• Work through the queue in one sitting. Half-finished listings are the ones that get forgotten.

iWantClips: what the site offers

iWantClips gives you two routes, and its artist knowledge base describes both.

Browser upload

The standard route. Clips can be MP4, M4V, MOV, WMV or AVI, and the stated limit for clips is 3 GB. The knowledge base explains the limit: most browsers time out before a very large file is through.

SFTP for several files and large files

For more than a handful of clips, and for files above the browser limit, iWantClips offers SFTP. In short:

1. Log in to your store and open Sell Items. On the right you find a blue link named SFTP with your connection details.
2. Enter host, username, password and port in an SFTP client. The knowledge base recommends FileZilla, and the free version is enough.
3. Drag your files into the client. FileZilla sends two files at the same time by default.
4. Back on the site, create the listing as usual, but click Choose FTP File and pick the uploaded file.
5. Provide the content information for each item, so it can be put up for sale.

Two rules from the same pages are worth knowing. Files stay on the SFTP host for 90 days and are then deleted automatically, and there is a storage limit. And because clips are converted to MP4 on upload, uploading one clip in several formats creates duplicates, which are not allowed on the site.

Making an iWantClips batch faster by hand

• Use SFTP for anything more than a few clips. Start the transfer and do something else.
• Name files clearly. You will pick them from a list later. "red-dress-evening.mp4" is found faster than "export_014.mp4".
• Do not let files age. Create the listings well within the 90 days.
• Keep the listing details ready. Title, description, price, category and keywords, per clip.

Side by side

The last two rows are the point. Both sites solve the file transfer. Neither writes your listing, and neither knows about your other stores.

Four mistakes that slow down a bulk session

• Uploading first, thinking later. Twenty files in the queue and no copy prepared means twenty listings written under pressure. Write the copy before the session.
• One text for both sites. ManyVids and iWantClips have their own categories and their own fields. A text that was written for one form rarely fits the other without changes.
• No record of what is where. After a long session it is easy to believe that everything is live. Keep a simple list per clip and per site, and tick a clip off only when the site shows it as published.
• Leaving listings half done. A file without a listing sells nothing. On iWantClips it is also deleted from the SFTP host after 90 days. Finish what you start in the same sitting.

None of these is a technical problem. They are habits, and they are the reason a batch day often feels longer than uploading clip by clip.

What an automatic uploader adds

An automatic uploader works on the second half. It takes a clip that you have prepared once and fills in the site's form for you: the file, the title, the description, categories, keywords or tags, price and date. A careful one checks first whether everything is there, runs through a batch without you watching, reports what happened per clip, and stops before the publish button.

That last point matters. You are the contract partner of each platform, and the listing goes out under your name. An uploader should take the typing and leave the decision. And no tool can guarantee that a platform never restricts an account. Each site has its own terms. Read them, and keep the final step in your own hands.

The general method, with or without software, is described in the guide on uploading clips to multiple sites at once.

How Reponara covers ManyVids and iWantClips

Reponara is a desktop app for Mac and Windows for independent adult content creators. It is launching soon and is not available yet. Its upload area sends one clip to Clips4Sale, ManyVids, FapHouse, Pornhub and iWantClips in one pass.

• It checks files, tags and logins before the run.
• It fills in every site's upload form: title, description, keywords or tags, categories, price, release date and time.
• It handles batches of clips.
• Release dates and times can be scheduled per site.
• You make the final publish click.

The copy comes from the app's Studio area, where AI writes title, description, keywords and categories per platform, matched to each site's own category list and character limits. So the ManyVids version and the iWantClips version of a clip are not the same text pasted twice. The guide on keyword automation for clip sites explains how that works.

The library keeps every clip with its files, copy, price and upload status per site. If a clip is live on Clips4Sale but missing on ManyVids, you see it. Library and logins stay on your own computer.

What to do this week

Separate the two halves in your own routine. Let the sites' own tools move the files: multi-select on ManyVids, SFTP on iWantClips. Then look at where the time really goes. For most sellers it is the listing. Prepare the copy before the upload session, not during it, and the session shrinks to checking and publishing.
