Repurpose client video faster, without hiring more editors

The volume problem

One client's monthly podcast is manageable by hand. Five clients, each expecting a batch of shorts from every long-form recording they send you, is a different job entirely — and the actual creative decisions (which moments matter, how a clip should be captioned or paced) get squeezed out by the mechanical work of finding and cutting candidates in the first place.

Run each incoming video through Extract Shorts first. You get a ranked set of candidate clips, already reframed and captioned, and you spend your time picking and polishing rather than starting from a blank timeline on every single job.

A repeatable workflow for client video

1. 1

   Take in the source

   Ask clients for a YouTube link where one exists: nothing to download or re-upload, and the video's own captions make the transcript faster. Otherwise take the MP4.

2. 2

   Set up each client's look once

   Tune a caption look to the client's brand and save it in My Templates (up to 20), then pick it at the start of every job for that client. Swap in their logo, and set speaker names for their podcast guests.

3. 3

   Run first passes in batches

   Start a job for each video that came in and come back to finished, ranked clips instead of a stack of timelines. Up to 10 clips per job on Pro and Max.

4. 4

   Do the review pass

   Watch each clip once before it goes out. Check names, product terms and the opening hook, and drop anything that needs context to make sense.

5. 5

   Deliver

   Download the MP4s from the library: captioned, framed for the platform, and watermark-free on every paid plan. Files stay available for 30 days on Pro and Max.

What repurposing costs per client video

On Max, a 30-minute client recording costs 30 credits with Extract Shorts. The plan's 1600 monthly credits cover about 53 of those a month, which is roughly $0.30 per video billed monthly, or $0.15 billed yearly.

That makes the first pass close to free next to your hourly rate, so the price you charge is really for the part only you can do: choosing, polishing and knowing the client. A retainer built on a fixed number of clips per recording is easy to quote when the input cost barely moves.

Built for higher volume

The Max plan is priced around exactly this use case: 1600 credits and 10 GB of storage a month, priority processing so jobs don't sit in a queue behind other users, and up to 10 clips per Extract Shorts job. It won't replace your judgment on what a client's brand should sound or look like, but it removes the repetitive first-pass work from every video that lands in your inbox.

What to keep human

Automation is good at finding and finishing candidate moments. It doesn't know that the client's CEO hates one particular clip, that a product name is about to change, or that this month's campaign needs the pricing moment, not the funniest one.

Keep those calls with your team. Let Extract Shorts do the scrubbing, cutting, framing and captioning, and spend the saved hours on hooks, sequencing and the client relationship.
