You spent all that time recording a podcast, a lecture, or a talking-head video. Uploading the long version is great, but why stop there?

That one video on your phone can turn into:

• A full YouTube upload

• Dozens of TikToks and Reels

• Thumbnails that pop

• A blog post that drives traffic

• A podcast episode

Here’s exactly how to do it inside Detail.

Step 1: Import Your Video

1. Open the Detail app.

2. If you recorded in Detail, your project is already there.

3. If not, tap + and choose Import to bring in your long video.

4. Wait a few seconds for it to load.

👉 Works with anything: a podcast recording, a lecture, a presentation, or just you talking to camera.

Step 2: Auto-Edit Into Clips

This is where the real magic happens.

1. Select your project.

2. Tap Auto-Edit.

3. Choose your video type: Talking Head or Podcast.

4. Toggle the options you want:

   • Zoom cuts (adds dynamic zooms automatically)

   • Titles for each clip

   • Captions in your chosen language

   • Background music (or turn this off to add your own later)

5. Tap Continue.

Detail will analyze the video and generate:

• Edited long versions for YouTube or Facebook.

• Multiple short clips for TikTok, Reels, or Shorts.

👉 By default, shorts are vertical. To change: tap Aspect → choose Landscape or Square.

And remember, every clip is editable:

• Trim more if needed

• Adjust captions (font, style, colors)

• Add or remove transitions

💡 Example: A 30-minute podcast turns into 10 short clips, each highlighting a key moment. That’s 10 days of social content from one recording.

Step 3: Create Thumbnails That Pop

1. Play through your video and pause on a strong frame.

2. Tap Captions → toggle them off (so text doesn’t cover your thumbnail).

3. Tap Overlay → Text and type your title.

4. Customize:

   • Choose font and color

   • Add a background shape if you want contrast

   • Tap Mask to place text behind you for a pro look

5. Once you’re happy, tap Snapshot.

The still frame is saved directly to your camera roll.

💡 Example: Reviewing a product? Grab the frame where you’re holding it up, add bold text like “Worth It?”, and you’ve got a thumbnail in 2 minutes.

Step 4: Turn Video Into a Blog Post

1. Open your long video in Detail.

2. Tap Export → Transcript.

3. Copy the generated transcript.

4. Paste it into your favorite writing tool (I often drop mine into ChatGPT with a simple prompt like “turn this transcript into a blog post”).

5. Do a quick edit to polish tone and structure.

💡 Example: Filmed a lecture? Now you’ve got a written article that can live on your site, boosting SEO while your video grows on YouTube.

Step 5: Extract Audio for a Podcast

1. Open your project in Detail.

2. Tap Export → Audio.

3. Save it to your phone or Files.

4. Upload it to Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or your podcast host.

💡 Example: That one interview you filmed? Now it’s also a podcast episode, reaching listeners during commutes and workouts.

Why Repurposing Works

• More reach: Hit YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, blogs, and podcasts from one effort.

• Less effort: Record once, publish five times.

• Better ROI: Stretch a single idea into weeks of content.

Your video shouldn’t stop at YouTube. With Detail, you can break it down into Shorts, design thumbnails, write a blog post, and even launch a podcast, all from the same recording.
