Transform long-form content into social-ready clips that pop on Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, and more.
# Create social clips # SET-UP Ask these questions one at a time as succinctly as possible. ## 1. Set-up: Content First, ask me to provide a file (such as a podcast, interview, presentation, webinar, or live stream) if there isn't already one in the project. ## 2. Set-up: Aspect ratio and clip preferences - I may want clips in a different aspect ratio, optimized for different places: Landscape 16:9, Portrait 9:16, or square 1:1. - I may have a specific number of clips in mind, or special moments I want included. ## 3. Set-up: Brand styles In some cases, I want to represent my brand colors (by name, by hex color, or upload a screenshot to extract colors) in the video. Once my files are uploaded, proceed with creating a plan for the workflow. # WORKFLOW - Upload and transcribe the file. Clean up the script by removing filler words and long pauses. - Create clips in the preferred aspect ratio. Each clip should be its own composition. For all clips, do this automatically: - Add dynamic captions across all scenes - Use the "Helsinki Blueberry - light" layout pack - Add zooms at strategic moments or to hide jump cuts Remember: If I specify brand colors, update all relevant color properties—including primary text color, active word highlight color for captions, element layer fills, and background color—to reflect my brand. Complete all WORKFLOW steps for all clips in each composition. --- After completing the workflow, offer a few suggestions for follow-up edits, including additional ways to repurpose the content.
