Creating Social Media Reels from Long-Form Video

Content creators repurpose long-form videos (interviews, tutorials, podcasts) into short-form vertical clips for Instagram Reels, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts. Each platform has specific duration, aspect ratio, and encoding requirements.

Workflow

  1. Watch the long-form video and identify the most engaging 15-60 second segments
  2. Use the Video Trimmer to extract selected segments
  3. Use the Video Resizer to convert from 16:9 horizontal to 9:16 vertical aspect ratio
  4. Use the Video Compressor to meet platform upload limits (Instagram: 250 MB, TikTok: 72 MB)
  5. Export each reel and upload to the respective platform
  6. Add platform-specific captions, hashtags, and music
