Turn one long video into a week of clips
The creators who win short-form aren't filming more — they're repurposing better. Here's the system for squeezing a week of posts out of a single recording.
Start with content you already have
Every podcast episode, livestream, webinar, or long YouTube upload is a goldmine of short-form. The work isn't creating new material — it's extracting the moments that stand on their own and packaging them for vertical feeds.
The repurposing system
Run this loop on every long video:
- Transcribe the full video so you can scan it fast
- Mark 4–6 self-contained moments with a clear payoff
- Cut each to 20–60 seconds, starting near the punchline
- Reframe to 9:16 and keep the speaker centered
- Burn in captions and a hook headline
- Schedule them out across the week, not all at once
Automate the tedious parts
Done by hand, that loop takes hours per video. Nova automates the whole chain: paste a link or upload a file, and it transcribes, ranks every segment for virality, cuts the best moments, reframes them, captions them, and even schedules them. You go from one long video to a batch of finished clips without opening an editor.
