Why Repurpose Long-Form Content as Short Clips?
Short-form clips from long-form content drive discovery and bring new viewers to your main channel. A single 1-hour video can produce 10-20 short clips, multiplying your reach without extra recording time.
AI Tools for Long-to-Short Repurposing
Opus Clip and Descript specialize in extracting clips from existing videos. For creators who want to create original short-form content from a script rather than repurpose, FluxNote is the leading option.
How to Create Short-Form Content from a Script
Write 60-90 second scripts, use FluxNote to generate complete faceless videos with stock footage and AI voiceover, and post daily without needing existing long-form footage.
Best Practices for Short-Form Performance
Keep clips under 60 seconds, use viral caption styles, hook the viewer in the first 3 seconds, and add trending background music. FluxNote handles all of this automatically.
