What it is
A pipeline that takes one long-form video and returns finished vertical clips, chosen against a hook rubric, snapped to sentence boundaries, graded and captioned.
You need this if you're producing long-form and posting one or two shorts off it, because the constraint isn't content, it's edit hours.
Every week that constraint holds is a week of paid-for footage depreciating in a folder.
If you already clip consistently, this takes volume from three a week to fifteen without the headcount that normally implies.
The actual build
What it does for you
Output multiplies from footage you already paid to produce
so cost per posted asset collapses.
The same hook standard applies to every clip
so quality stops depending on which editor picked it up.
The editor bottleneck between recording and posting disappears
which is where most short-form strategies actually die.
Built and running
Built internally for the business. Ships vertical IG and Shorts clips alongside the long-form cut.
How to build it
- Transcribe the long-form cut with word-level timings
- Score every candidate segment against an explicit hook checklist and cut only the top few
- Snap in and out points to sentence boundaries from the transcript rather than to fixed durations
- Reframe to 9:16, colour grade, and burn captions
- Write every step to an editable manifest so clips re-render without a full rerun
