It's important to remember that short videos are not simply truncated versions of longer videos. Instead, they require a completely different approach to storytelling. This means breaking the video up into smaller, bite-sized chunks that can stand on their own, while still conveying the overarching message of the video (see #4 below).
How does Opus Clips work?
Opus Clip leverages big data to analyze your video content in relation to the latest social and marketing trends from major platforms, and generates a comprehensive understanding of your video for a data-driven decision on content repurposing. It then picks the highlighting moments of your long video, rearranges them into a viral-worthy short and polishes it with dynamic captions, AI-relayout, smooth transition to ensure that the clip is coherent and attention-grabbing, and ends with a strong call-to-action.
Short videos are becoming increasingly popular. From TikTok, to Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts, people are consuming more short videos than ever before. This shift in consumption patterns has made short videos a powerful tool for businesses and creators to grow.
However, creating short videos from scratch can be time consuming. That's where the art of turning long videos into short clips comes in.
By converting your long videos into shorter, more digestible pieces of content, you can reach a wider audience and grow your followers 10x faster.
Moreover, as more platforms are rolling out monetization programs, like YouTube Shorts revenue sharing and Instagram Reels Play bonus, creating short videos can help you expedite your monetization speed.

⭐️ Curation: The foundation of video repurposing
1. Analyze what's trending on social media
Look for topics that are emerging across multiple channels, and pay close attention to any trending hashtags or keywords. This information can be extremely valuable in helping you create content that is more likely to be shared, engaged with, and ultimately, rank higher in search engine results pages (SERPs).
Once you have a good sense of what's trending, you need to analyze your video content in relation to the latest social and marketing trends. If your video touches upon any of the topics, great! This means you're already on the right track to creating content that will be relevant and engaging to your audience. If your video doesn't directly address any of the trending topics, you can add text and image overlays about trending topics into your videos to make them relevant.
2. Know your brand strategy & target audience
In addition to analyzing trending topics on social media, it's essential to know your brand strategy and target audience. Your brand strategy should inform the tone, messaging, and overall aesthetic of your videos. And knowing your audiences' demographics, interests, and pain points can help you repurpose content that speaks directly to them.
For instance, Alex Hormozi's short videos are consistent with his overall brand message of "hard work, discipline, and results." He emphasizes the importance of taking action, setting goals, and putting in the effort required to achieve success. This aligns perfectly with the values and aspirations of his target audience, who are primarily aspiring entrepreneurs and business owners.
It's important to remember that short videos are not simply truncated versions of longer videos. Instead, they require a completely different approach to storytelling. This means breaking the video up into smaller, bite-sized chunks that can stand on their own, while still conveying the overarching message of the video.
3. Divide the long form video into chapters
The most effective way to reimagine a long video is to identify content pillars and clip the video into segments based on these pillars. Content pillars are the main themes or ideas that the video is built around, and breaking the video up into chapters based on these themes can help create a more cohesive and engaging viewing experience.
4. Pick the chapters that would best fit the audience
It's important to keep in mind that not all chapters will work well as standalone videos. When selecting chapters to feature in your short videos, you should choose ones that can stand on their own, while still providing context and relevance to the overall message of the video. This may require some experimentation and testing to determine which chapters work best as standalone videos and which ones require additional context.
