Snapshot

• 12: short-form videos from a single interview

• 4: episodes cut down

• 1 hour: of source footage per batch

The challenge

ACT Courses records hour-long interviews with leading practitioners. A one-hour conversation is valuable but almost unusable as a distribution asset, and re-recording for social was never going to be economic.

What I did

Treat each interview as a source library rather than a single asset, and cut it into a batch of standalone short-form videos that each carry one complete idea.

The work

A repeatable cutdown process applied across four episodes, including one with Steven C. Hayes. Each clip was selected for a self-contained point, then captioned and paced for sound-off viewing on a phone.
