Turn YouTube videos into Reels.

Stop wasting hours inside a video editor.

You can now use Claude to completely automate your short-form content creation workflow.

This process lets you take any long-form YouTube link, podcast, or keynote interview and turn it into vertical clips on autopilot.

First, Claude pulls the complete video transcript along with precise timestamps. It then analyzes the text to identify the most engaging hooks, stories, and punchlines. Finally, it clips the video into a vertical format, generates captions, applies a hook overlay, and handles the scheduling for your social channels.

Comment ENGINE below and I will send you the exact MCP setup so you can run this workflow yourself.
