One long timeline branching into several short vertical clips

One video, five posts: a calm repurposing workflow

One good long video holds a week of short-form inside it. The work is finding the moments, not making more.

Mine the long cut first

Every strong long video has three to five self contained moments. Those are your posts.

Mark them while you edit the long cut, so the short-form is half done before you export.

Keep one thread

Each short post should carry one idea from the long video, never a summary of all of them.

Caption from the hook

Reuse the strongest line as the caption, not a new one written cold.

The takeaway

Repurposing is editing, not writing. Find the moments in the long cut and the week fills itself.
