Tuesday
We record one long video at the start of each month, and everything else comes out of that recording. It wasn't always like that. For about a year, we posted every single day. By the end, nobody on the team wanted to open the content calendar. The posts got worse, not better. We were making content to fill a slot, not because we had something to say. And people can tell. So we changed one thing. Now there's one recording, about an hour, and one afternoon of planning. Everything comes out of it: → the short clips → the carousel → the newsletter → the threads We post less now and hear back more. More replies, more people saying they saved something, more follow-up questions. And the team actually likes recording day again. The lesson: posting more often didn't make the posts better. Having something to say did. So each recording starts with five questions our audience actually asked us that month, and we answer those. Where do your topics come from right now: a slot in the calendar, or a question someone asked you?

1/ Before we record, we write down five questions our audience actually asked us that month, in comments, emails and DMs. We answer those on camera. No made-up topics.

3/ After recording, we clean the transcript before we write anything. Filler out, headings in. Then we pull out the lines that make sense on their own. Every post is built on one of them.

Friday
The way you say something on camera is usually better than the way you write it later. We learned that early on. We'd watch our own video, then write the posts from memory. What we'd said on camera was more natural than anything we wrote afterwards. Now we use the transcript. The actual words. We clean it up, pull out the best lines, and every post starts from something we really said.

Three short video scriptsExample output

Three short video scripts

TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts, from one video

Here are the three scripts. Each one comes from a different section of the video. None of them opens with the same line as another script or as any of the five posts.

A note on cutting vs. re-filming: I've tightened some lines, and in one place reordered a sentence. Those lines won't match the recording word for word. If you cut the clip, use the closest take and the on-screen text still holds. If you re-film, read the lines as written.

TikTok

Platform and length: TikTok, about 30 seconds
Clip: Why we stopped posting every day (00:04). Start at "So for about a year". Keep going into One video a month (00:48) and end on "everything else comes out of that recording."
Hook: "We posted every single day."

Caption (97 characters) We posted every day for a year and the posts got worse. Here's why, and the one thing we changed.

Instagram Reels

Platform and length: Instagram Reels, about 35 seconds
Clip: Mistakes we made early on (03:40). Start at "A couple of mistakes" and end on "Three slides that work on their own."
Hook: "Mistakes we made early on."

9	A carousel should make sense with no sound and no caption. Three slides that work on their own.	Slides should work alone

Caption (132 characters) Three mistakes we made turning one video into a week of posts, and what we do now instead. Save this before your next recording day.

YouTube Shorts

Platform and length: YouTube Shorts, about 30 seconds
Clip: What changed (03:05). Start at "We post less now" and end on "things we know about."
Hook: "We post less now, and we hear back more."

#	Say	On screen

Title (56 characters) What changed when we started recording one video a month

What the transcript doesn't give me

Exact in and out points. The cleaned transcript only has a start time for each section, not for each line. That's why I've given the first and last words of each clip. You'll need to find the exact times in the recording.
Context for the Shorts clip. On its own, "the team actually likes it again" doesn't say what "it" is. The title fills that gap. If you'd rather the script explain itself, I can open it with a line from One video a month instead. That would make it a cut across two sections.
Visuals beyond you on camera. The transcript has no notes on footage or b-roll, so these scripts assume a talking head with text on screen.
Cover text. TikTok and Reels let you set a cover, and nothing in the transcript is written for one. The first on-screen line of each script works as cover text if you want it.
Your voice samples. They still haven't come through. The spoken lines are your own words, so they're fine as they are. The captions and the title are written in the video's voice. Paste a few past posts and I'll match them.

About this item

Record one video, then let three short steps in one Claude chat do the rest. The transcript is cleaned first, so every post is built on a line you actually said. YouTube auto-captions work, pasted straight from the video page. Then come five posts, one for each weekday: an Instagram carousel, two LinkedIn posts, a Threads post and an X thread, each in the right shape for its platform. Last come three short video scripts for TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts, each cut from a different moment of the same video.

About thirty minutes from video to a week of drafts, our estimate from testing, most of it reading and editing them.

What you get

A three-slide Instagram carousel
Two LinkedIn posts, a story and a short lesson
A Threads post
A six-post X thread
Three short video scripts for TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts

Why we stopped posting every day (00:04)

Hi, welcome back. So today I want to talk about how we plan a month of content in one afternoon, because for a long time we didn't do it that way at all.

So for about a year we posted every single day. Every single day. And by the end of it, nobody on the team wanted to open the content calendar. Nobody.

And the posts got worse, not better, which is the opposite of what you'd expect, right? You'd think practice makes it better. But we were making content to fill a slot, not

One video a month (00:48)

So we changed one thing. Just one thing. Now we record one long video at the start of each month, and everything else comes

Questions

Can I start from a YouTube video?: Yes. Copy its auto-captions: open the video in a browser, click "...more" under the title, then "Show transcript". Step 1 adds the punctuation and marks any word it cannot make out instead of guessing.
Do I need anything besides Claude?: No. All three steps run in one Claude chat. On a phone, use the chat version of step 1 instead of installing the skill. To post on a schedule, use each app's own scheduler or the tool you already use.
Will the posts sound like me?: They quote your own best lines from the video, so they start from your words. Paste two or three past posts in step 2 for a closer match.
Can I add other platforms?: Yes. Step 2 has a line for each platform. Add one for Facebook or Bluesky and it follows the same rules.
