How do founders turn one long recording into weeks of short clips?
The repurposing engine: record once (a podcast, demo, or talk), let OpusClip or Descript find the hooks, auto-caption and reframe to vertical, and post 5-10 clips per hour of footage across Shorts, Reels, and LinkedIn. Text-based editing in Descript makes the cut as fast as editing a doc, and a16z argues agentic editing is the next layer coming. This is the highest-ROI AI video workflow for founders because it needs zero generation, just footage you already have.
