What it does

Converts one long-form video into a fully planned set of calendar entries. Each derived short becomes its own Airtable row with a script, a target platform, and a suggested publish date that respects your posting cadence — so a single upload populates weeks of calendar.

When to use it

Best for operators who run their social plan out of Airtable and want the calendar to fill itself from source content. It keeps cadence sane by spacing clips out rather than scheduling them all on day one.

How it works

  1. 1A new row in the Airtable Videos table (with a file link and target platforms) triggers the run.
  2. 2The video is transcribed by OpenAI and split into distinct clip-worthy segments.
  3. 3For each segment, OpenAI writes a short-form script and recommends the best-fit platform.
  4. 4A scheduling step assigns publish dates across the segments using your configured cadence and open slots.
  5. 5Each short is written back as a dated row in the Airtable content calendar, linked to the source video.
