The problem

Recording is the easy part.

You already made the content. But cutting it into Shorts takes hours, consistency slips, and your best moments stay buried inside hour-long files.

One conversation. Many Shorts.
Selected work

From a long episode to a scroll-stopper.

01

The Cold-Open Cut

A one-hour conversation distilled into a 40-second idea that stops the scroll.

The short · 9:16

Beat by beat

  1. 0:00–0:02Hook

    Opens on the most contrarian statement, skipping any intro.

  2. 0:02–0:06Context

    Delivers the core premise in two concise sentences.

  3. 0:06–0:15Build

    Fast-paced proof points with breath pauses completely eliminated.

  4. 0:15–0:20Payoff + loop

    Delivers the punchline and flows directly back into the opening hook.

What went into the edit

  • Auto-reframe 9:16
  • Word-synced captions
  • Punch-in zooms
  • Sound effects
  • Natural colour grade
  • Loop-friendly ending

Why it works

Leading with the payoff earns the first three seconds. Cutting every pause keeps the pace high.

The Story Arc

An anecdote buried mid-episode, rebuilt as a complete mini-story.

The short · 9:16

Beat by beat

  1. 0:00–0:03Hook

    A high-tension line pulled straight from the climax to freeze the feed.

  2. 0:03–0:10Setup

    Quickly lays down the stakes and context in the fewest possible words.

  3. 0:10–0:22Turn

    The mindset shift with dynamic punch-ins, sound design, and pacing changes.

  4. 0:22–0:30Landing

    A hard-hitting takeaway paired with clean text emphasis for a seamless loop.

What went into the edit

  • Auto-reframe 9:16
  • Word-synced captions
