Repurpose a 30-minute long-form video into 10 YouTube Shorts in under 60 minutes with Opus Clip, then amplify each with AI-written hooks and titles.
Go to opus.pro → paste YouTube URL or upload MP4 → choose "Shorts" format (9:16) → let AI analyze (takes 3-5 min). Output: 10-15 auto-clipped Shorts ranked by virality score.
Opus gives each clip a score out of 100. Keep clips scoring 85+. Discard <70 — they won't perform.
Prompt Assisters: "Write 5 YouTube Shorts titles for a clip about [topic]. Use curiosity gap. Under 60 chars. Examples: 'I tried X for 30 days', 'Nobody talks about this X'."
Inside Opus Clip editor → add text overlay at 0:00-0:01.5s: "Wait, this changed my mind…" or "I can't believe this worked." Bold white text, centered top.
Prompt: "Write a YouTube Shorts description for [topic]. Include 3 keywords, 5 hashtags, and link to full video." Always link to the source long-form in description.
Upload all 10 clips to YouTube Studio → schedule 3/day at 10am, 3pm, 8pm local time. Turn on "Made for Kids: No" and add to a Shorts playlist.
Check Analytics → Shorts tab → focus on "Audience Retention". If swipe-away rate in first 3 seconds is >40%, the hook failed. Rewrite and re-upload.
