How to Repurpose Long Videos into Shorts

Turn your 1-hour podcast into 20 viral TikToks.

Content Multipliers

If you create long-form content on YouTube or host a podcast, you are sitting on a goldmine of short-form clips.

The Extraction Process

You shouldn't just cut a random 60-second segment. You need to structure it.

  1. Find the Hook: Start the clip at the most controversial or interesting statement.
  2. Cut the Fluff: Remove the interviewer's long-winded setup. Just keep the punchline.
  3. Format for Vertical: A wide shot won't work on TikTok. Crop in on the speaker's face.

Automate It

NexusCut's 'Magic Clip' feature can automatically scan your long video, find the moments with the highest emotional intensity, and format them for vertical viewing with captions already applied.
