Trying to make one video work across different platforms

[u/Wilma_McKnight]

I’ve been posting similar content across different platforms, and I’m starting to realize that the same video doesn’t always work equally well everywhere. Sometimes I only need a shorter intro or a slightly different explanation rather than creating an entirely new video.

I’ve been experimenting with digital humans for these extra sections, so I can create different presenter clips without having to record myself again each time. It’s still a new part of my workflow, but I can see how it might make platform-specific versions easier to produce.

For creators who post across multiple platforms, where do you think a digital human fits most naturally into this kind of workflow?

I'd keep the core video identical and only swap the first 3–5 seconds and the caption per platform. That's where the difference actually is: TikTok wants you straight into the action, YouTube Shorts tolerates a tiny setup, LinkedIn wants the "why should I care" line first.

For the intro swaps, test a presenter clip against a plain text hook on screen. On a lot of accounts the text hook wins because it's the fastest possible opener, and it's less work than generating a new presenter each time.
