You film one good long video, post it once, and then wonder what to publish next. The answer usually isn't more filming — it's getting more out of what you already have. Here's the routine we recommend.
Why vertical works
Phones are held upright and shorts autoplay full-screen, so a 9:16 frame fills the whole screen. A 20-minute video often holds 8–15 moments that each work well on their own.
The routine
- 1
Add the video once
Upload your long video to Captos and let it produce a set of candidate clips.
- 2
Pick the strongest moments
Captos ranks clips by how well they hold attention, so you start from the good ones.
- 3
Keep it consistent
Apply one caption style across the set. A consistent look is what makes a profile feel like a brand.
- 4
Space them out
Export the set and spread the clips across two to four weeks.
A cadence that works
- Monday: your strongest moment.
- Wednesday: a second clip from a different angle.
- Friday: something lighter or behind the scenes.
- Weekend: bring back a past favourite with fresh captions.
When you're short on new footage, re-export a past clip with new captions and a different opening.
