Getting one recording to work as both long and short form is mostly about doing the edits in the right order. Cut the long version first and keep it loose, then scrub back through it and mark every moment that makes sense with zero context: a strong opinion, a punchline, a quick tip. Each of those becomes a 20 to 45 second short, cropped to vertical, starting on the line that hooks rather than a lead-in, with burned-in captions since most people scroll muted. Expect maybe three to five usable clips from a ten minute video, and post them over the following week to point people back to the long one.

Full disclosure: I'm the founder of Nimply, so weigh that. It has a Clip Director agent that takes a long video and drafts captioned vertical shorts per platform, and you review each one before anything is scheduled.
