Why long video is sitting unused
Most brands already have the raw tape — a podcast, webinar, or talk — and still post nothing vertical. The bottleneck is not ideas. It is cutting, captioning, and exporting 9:16 files for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts.
Instagram Reels from a long YouTube video is the job PixaSocial Reel Factory is built for: hook detection, transcription, and clips you can send to Social Poster.
Reels from YouTube video
Search demand for “Reels from YouTube video” is a production problem. Teams do not need another timeline editor. They need a repeatable path from one long file to a week of shorts.
Reel Factory keeps each clip inside the 3-minute YouTube Shorts limit so the same export still fits Reels and TikTok. Optional 16:9 covers X.
- Upload one long-form source (talk, podcast, webinar, screen recording)
- Pick how many reels to cut
- Review hooks, restyle captions, export 9:16
- Publish via Social Poster after connecting channels
How this fits a PixaSocial week
Pair clips with audience personas so the first line matches the people you want. Plan the batch in the content planner instead of improvising every afternoon.
Compare the full stack on features. Reel Factory is a paid add-on — see pricing.
