Repurpose Long Videos Into Captioned Shorts and Reels

20 October 2026 · 6 min read · CaptionFy team

One long video can feed your short-form channels for a week. The workflow is simple: find the moments, cut them vertically, caption each one, and schedule.

Find the moments

Look for strong opinions, quick tips, stories and reactions. Note the timestamps as you watch.

Cut vertically

Reframe each moment to 9:16 with the speaker centred. Leave a beat before and after each clip so it does not feel cut off.

Caption each clip

Caption after cutting, so timing is exact. Use a saved style so every clip in the series looks consistent.

The short version

Find, cut, caption with a saved style, schedule. One long video becomes a week of posts.
