Build a Multi-Platform Social Video Pipeline With Editly

Step 1

Record content once per week

One quality recording session — interview, tutorial, product demo — becomes your content source for the week across all platforms.

Step 2

Write platform-specific prompts for the key moments

Instagram Reel: 'minute 5-8, 60 seconds, 9:16, hook, captions.' LinkedIn: 'minute 12-18, 4 minutes, 16:9, educational tone, captions.' TikTok: 'minute 20-22, 30 seconds, 9:16, start immediately, captions.'

Step 3

Receive platform-ready content

Each prompt produces a clip ready for that platform's requirements. No format adjustment, no separate captioning step.

Step 4

Schedule and post consistently

Distribute content across the week. The recording from Monday becomes a consistent presence across 4 platforms through Friday.
