Outcome: 10 standalone short-form scripts pulled from one long recording.

  1. Get the transcript from your long-form video, podcast, webinar, lesson, or presentation.
  2. Paste the transcript into an AI assistant or upload it where supported.
  3. Ask AI to identify the strongest standalone ideas.
  4. Tell it to prioritize sections containing surprising insights, useful advice, memorable statements, stories, or clear solutions.
  5. Request short scripts suitable for Shorts, Reels, or TikTok.
  6. Ask for a separate hook and caption for each short.
  7. Compare the suggestions with the original transcript before publishing to ensure the speaker’s meaning has not been distorted.

Sample prompt: Analyze this transcript and identify the 10 strongest ideas that could become standalone short-form videos. For each one provide: Main idea, Opening hook, 30-60 second script, Suggested on-screen title, Caption, Call to action. Do not invent statements that are not supported by the original transcript. TRANSCRIPT: [Paste transcript]

Pro tip: Look for moments where one valuable idea can stand independently without viewers needing to watch the full original video.
