Clips work while you sleep
Step 1: Record Video
If you're not already recording video, start now. Video clips significantly outperform audio-only content on social media.
- Remote podcasts: Record with Riverside, Squadcast, or Zoom
- In-person: Set up a camera or use your phone
- Minimum: One angle on each speaker, good lighting
Step 2: Identify Clip-Worthy Moments
Hot Takes
Strong opinions, contrarian views, or bold statements that spark discussion.
Aha Moments
When a guest reveals something surprising or shares a unique insight.
Emotional Peaks
Laughter, passion, intensity – moments with genuine emotion.
Actionable Advice
Specific tips, frameworks, or how-tos that deliver immediate value.
Step 3: Cut and Format
Trim to 30-60 seconds
Cut the beginning and end tight. Start with the hook, end when the point lands.
Convert to vertical (9:16)
Crop your wide shot to focus on the active speaker. Use face tracking to follow the conversation.
Add captions
Essential for mobile viewers. Make text large and easy to read.
