A long video becomes shorts when you cut moments that make sense alone. A random 30 seconds from the middle usually does not.
Evergreen
Scrub for a reaction, a clear tip, a disagreement, or a before-and-after. That clip is the body. The original long video’s intro is almost never the short’s intro. Write a new first line that states the point, then play the moment.
Reframe to vertical. Add captions. Change the title so it is not "part 4 livestream." One long video can feed several shorts if each one has its own promise. Ten weak crops of the same rant will not.
Yes, once the short is worth watching by itself. A short that only makes sense if you saw the VOD is an ad, and people swipe ads.
