Step-by-Step Guide
Create your anchor content
Produce one high-quality long-form video (10-30 minutes). This is the source for all repurposed content.
Extract short clips
Use Opus Clip or similar to automatically identify and extract the most engaging 30-60 second segments.
Reformat for platforms
Convert clips to the right aspect ratio and style for each platform. Add platform-specific subtitles and styling.
Generate written content
Use AI to transcribe and restructure the video into blog posts, social captions, and newsletter content.
Schedule and publish
Use Repurpose.io or a social scheduler to distribute all content pieces across platforms over the following week.
What is AI video repurposing?
AI video repurposing transforms existing video content into multiple formats and platforms:
Long-to-short clipping — AI analyzes a 10-60 minute video and extracts the most engaging 30-60 second segments as standalone Shorts/Reels.
Format conversion — Horizontal (16:9) video is intelligently cropped and reframed for vertical (9:16) platforms, keeping subjects centered.
Content extraction — AI transcribes video and generates blog posts, social media captions, email newsletters, and tweet threads from the content.
Highlight compilation — Multiple videos are analyzed and the best moments are combined into compilation or best-of videos.
Translation/dubbing — Existing videos are translated and dubbed for international audiences.
The goal is to create once, publish everywhere — extracting maximum value from every piece of content you produce.

The 1-to-10 repurposing framework
Here is a proven framework for turning one video into 10+ pieces of content:
From a single 10-minute YouTube video, create:
1. 3-5 YouTube Shorts — AI clips the best moments
2. 3-5 Instagram Reels — Reframed vertical versions of the best clips
3. 1 blog post — AI transcribes and restructures into a written article
4. 5-10 tweet/X posts — Key quotes and insights extracted as social posts
5. 1 email newsletter — Summary with key takeaways for your email list
6. 1 LinkedIn post — Professional angle on the same topic
7. 1 Pinterest pin — Key visual or infographic from the content
8. 1 podcast episode — Audio extracted and cleaned up
Total: 15-25 pieces of content from one recording session.
With AI tools handling the conversion, the entire repurposing process takes 30-60 minutes instead of the 8-10 hours it would take manually.
Pro Tips
- Create your long-form content with repurposing in mind — include clear standalone segments that work as clips
- Add hooks and topic changes at regular intervals so AI clipping tools have clear cut points
- Always add platform-specific subtitles — do not reuse the same subtitle style across all platforms
- Stagger your publishing — do not dump all repurposed content on the same day
- Track which repurposed formats drive the most engagement and double down on those
