OpenPost: make a carousel and video draft before setting up publishing

How to build a carousel, edit a short video, and export drafts before connecting any publishing provider.

The short version

I would start with the two standalone browser editors and export a local draft. OpenPost offers free image and video editing without an account or watermark according to its current docs. The full hosted workspace has waitlisted signups. This guide follows official editor and self-hosting instructions; I haven't tested social publishing or provider approval.
