Long-form video to platform-native shorts scripts

When a long-form video lands in Dropbox, transcribes it, finds the most clippable moments, and writes a tailored short-form script for each target platform.

What it does

Turns a single long-form video upload into a set of ready-to-shoot short-form scripts, each adapted to the conventions of its destination platform (hook length, caption style, on-screen text cues). The output is a structured Notion page your editor can act on immediately.

When to use it

Run this when you produce one flagship video per week (a podcast episode, webinar, or YouTube long-form) and want to mine it for vertical shorts without watching the whole thing again. Best for teams who script clips before cutting them.

How it works

  1. 1A new video file in a watched Dropbox folder triggers the run.
  2. 2The file is downloaded and sent to OpenAI for transcription with timestamps.
  3. 3OpenAI scores the transcript for high-retention moments and selects the top candidate clips.
  4. 4For each clip, OpenAI drafts a platform-native script variant (one for vertical reels, one for a text-heavy carousel, one for a punchy hook-first cut).
  5. 5All scripts, with their source timestamps, are written to a new Notion page tagged for editor review.
