Long video to shorts

Find the moments in this recording that people would stop scrolling for, and make each one a short a channel would post as it is: it opens on its strongest real line, ends on its point, and makes sense to someone who never saw the long video. The speaker, watching it, would say: yes, that is what I meant.

What has to be true

  • The speaker's meaning, intact. Nothing said in different places is joined into a claim they did not make; an "if", a "not" or an "in some cases" is never cut away; an answer keeps its question. A title or any other text on screen says only what the recording says, or is plainly yours.
  • It stands alone: a viewer knows who is speaking and what they are answering.
  • Every word exact. The transcript says exactly what was said; names, numbers and terms you cannot confirm are named in your reply. Each cut falls in a pause: no clip starts on a clipped word or stops mid-thought.
  • Made for a phone: the one who is speaking well framed at every moment, and nothing that matters where the app's buttons and captions sit.
  • Worth posting: each one holds up next to the best clips on the platform, as long as its moment needs and no longer. Watch each as a viewer would; a clip you would scroll past is not done.
