The problem it solves

Turning a long video into short, platform-ready clips is a real editing job, and doing it consistently for every new upload takes hours. Falling behind on shorts means missing out on the reach that comes from posting them regularly.

Who it fits

Content creators, video producers, or marketing teams who repurpose long-form video into shorts.

How it works

  1. A schedule checks your spreadsheet for a long video marked ready
  2. The video is sent for AI analysis to find the best moments
  3. Short, captioned vertical clips are generated and exported
  4. The original video is marked as processed so it's never repeated
  5. Each new clip is logged with its captions, ready to publish
What you get

Short clips published across your social channels

Your long-form videos turn into short, captioned clips that publish automatically across your social channels, keeping your feed active without extra effort.

What you get

Multiple short, captioned video clips ready to publish, plus a log of everything produced.

What you need

A Google Sheets account and a video-clipping service account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
