How to repurpose video content for social media

Introduction

In today's fast-paced digital landscape, repurposing video content for social media platforms has become essential for reaching broader audiences and maximizing the impact of your original content. One effective tool for this task is Dscript, which streamlines the process of pulling clips from your videos. In this guide, we'll demonstrate how easy it is to take a section from your original video and turn it into a vertical clip ready for platforms like TikTok and YouTube Shorts.

Steps to Create Social Media Clips Using Dscript

1. Select Your Clip: Start with your original video in Dscript. Identify the specific section you want to repurpose. Simply select the desired portion of the video.

2. Duplicate the Selection: A selection toolbar will appear once you've highlighted the clip. Click the "duplicate" button. This action duplicates the selected clip into a new composition.

3. Access Your New Composition: After duplicating, you can quickly switch to the new composition using the confirmation message. Alternatively, you can find all your compositions in the composition drawer, allowing you to switch back and forth between your original video and the new clip.

4. Apply a Template: To transform your clip into a suitable format for social media, utilize a template. Click on the template drawer and browse through various vertical video templates. Choose one that matches your aesthetic.

5. Adjust Orientation: Once you apply a template, the software will automatically detect the orientation difference between your source clip and the template. You can click to fix it automatically or manually adjust the orientation through the provided menu.

6. Customize Your Clip: With the template applied, you can modify the layers as needed. Add text, images, or adjust the layout to fit your style before finalizing the video.

7. Publish: Once you're satisfied with the adjustments, simply publish your video, and you're ready to share it across your social media platforms!
