Frequently Asked Questions
How do we identify which parts of long videos work best as short-form content?
Our content mapping framework helps you identify self-contained segments with clear value, emotional moments, and standalone insights that don't require the full context of the longer video to be meaningful to viewers.
Should we create different short clips for different platforms?
Our platform strategy typically recommends creating platform-specific versions rather than using identical clips across platforms - varying aspects like format, pacing, text overlay, and framing to match each platform's unique environment and audience expectations.
How do we maintain consistent messaging when shortening content?
Our message preservation approach focuses on identifying your core value proposition and key messages first, then ensuring these elements remain intact in short-form versions rather than simply cutting content based on time constraints alone.
What's the most efficient workflow for repurposing video content?
Our production framework recommends planning for repurposing during initial video production - including shooting with multiple formats in mind, capturing additional b-roll, and organizing content in segments - rather than trying to repurpose as an afterthought.
