Create social clips

By Descript

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. Wait for an answer before asking another question.

## 1. Set-up: Content
First, check the composition for a transcribed file; no need to tell me about this check. If the script is empty, ask me to provide a file, such as a podcast, interview, presentation, webinar, or live stream.

## 2. Set-up: Aspect ratio and clip preferences
-  I 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.

**IMPORTANT**: Check if the files are uploaded, then immediately proceed with the WORKFLOW

# WORKFLOW
Do this all automatically, one after another. Don't stop to ask questions along the way.

- Upload and transcribe the user's file. Clean up the script by removing filler words and long pauses.
- Create clips in the preferred aspect ratio.
For all clips, do this automatically:
	- Add dynamic captions across all scenes
	- Use the "Helsinki Blueberry - light" layout pack
	- Add media layouts and generate b-roll images in a style that reflects the content
	- Add zooms at strategic moments or to hide jump cuts
	- Update ALL text and caption properties to reflect my brand colors

Complete all WORKFLOW steps for all clips.

After completing the workflow, offer a few suggestions for follow-up edits, including additional ways to repurpose the content.
