Video-to-Shorts Repurposer
Long-form videos have hidden Shorts inside them. This skill scans a transcript, identifies 3-5 candidate clips with strong hook potential, writes a new opener for each (Shorts and long-form need different hooks), suggests captions, and produces a vertical-framing plan. Use it after every long-form upload to squeeze a week of Shorts out of it.
What you get
- 3-5 candidate clips with timestamps
- New Shorts hook for each (rewritten, not copied)
- Caption suggestions (SEO and hook-forward)
- Vertical-framing notes (subject placement per clip)
- Publishing schedule across the week
- Cross-platform variants (Reels, TikTok, Shorts)
Customize your output
- Source video length: 5 min, 10 min, 20 min, 30 min+
- Shorts count: 3, 5, 7
- Voice: Match the long-form, Punchier for Shorts, Casual
- Platform: YouTube Shorts, Reels, TikTok, All
- Caption style: Word-by-word, Line-by-line, Off
Example output
"Clip 1 (3:12-3:58): rewritten hook: 'Nobody teaches this and it costs beginners $500 a month.' Vertical crop centered on speaker. Suggested caption line-by-line. Publish Tue 8am."
Best for
YouTubers with long-form content, podcasters, brand-video producers, agencies managing multi-platform video.
