How to repurpose video content for maximum impact : tips for 2025

Why repurpose video content?

Repurposing video content enables companies to extract even more value from what they've already created. Instead of producing entirely new content, you can convert your videos into different formats that reach a wider audience.
Whether it's turning a webinar into a blog post or creating short video clips for social networks, this approach ensures that your message reaches its target audience, wherever they may be.

And in particular, by repurposing your videos and converting them into text, you can also improve your SEO rankings. For example, if you publish an article based on your video, you integrate keywords that will make your content easier to find and more attractive to those who prefer to read rather than watch. It's worth noting that search engines love varied formats that capture the attention of users on different platforms.

Best practices for repurposing video content

1. Start with a clear plan

Before taking the plunge, identify videos that are worth reusing. Focus on timeless content that will remain relevant, such as conferences, tutorials, case studies or videos by recognized experts in the field.

Define your objectives: are you looking to generate traffic, increase brand awareness or educate your audience?

2. Transcribe your videos into text for maximum accessibility

One of the easiest ways to repurpose video content is to generate a transcript. This makes your content accessible to a wider audience, including the hearing impaired. What's more, a transcript can serve as the basis for creating other formats, such as blog posts or eBooks. Tools like Yuzzit can quickly generate accurate transcriptions, with industry-specific lexicons to ensure that even your brand names or proper nouns are rendered perfectly.

3. Summarize the key points

A full transcript is ideal for detailed analysis, but many readers prefer concise summaries. Summarizing your video content allows you to create effective and accurate blog posts, LinkedIn publications or even feed the content of your newsletters. Highlight catchphrases, key learnings or practical advice, and key statistics to capture your readers' attention.

4. Cut long videos into short extracts

As you can see, long videos such as webinars or interviews can quickly discourage viewers. So why not break them up into short extracts perfect for social networks like LinkedIn, Instagram or Twitter? Remember to add subtitles to capture attention: 85% of video content is consumed without sound on these platforms.

To save time, consider using a live clipping tool to capture the best moments live. No need to spend hours reviewing your video, your clips are ready to share immediately!

5. Create visual and interactive elements

Repurposing your video content doesn't just mean cutting it up or turning it into text! Why not extract interesting data or stats from your videos and turn them into infographics, or a carousel for LinkedIn? 

You can also go a step further by creating quizzes, polls or even interactive presentations based on your video content. It's a great way to engage your audience while giving new life to your videos.

Do's and don'ts on how to repurpose video content

To do

• Adapt the content to the platform: Each platform has its own specificities. For example, a detailed blog post works well on your website, while a one-minute excerpt is suitable for Instagram or LinkedIn.
• Optimize for SEO: Make sure your repurpose content contains the keywords of your choice to improve its SEO.
• Bring value: Tailor your content to answer your audience's questions or issues, and keep them engaged.

Don’ts

• Avoid republishing without modification: Simply re-uploading a video won't captivate new audiences. Customize your content for each use case: offer several short videos instead of a 1-hour replay. 
• Don't sacrifice quality for quantity: With the new AI tools, it's easy to produce a lot of content, but make sure you deliver value every time. Make sure that all your reused content respects high production standards and meets the needs of your audience.
• Don't spread yourself too thin on unnecessary platforms: New media seem to emerge every week, but it's impossible to be the best everywhere. Concentrate your efforts on the few platforms where your audience spends the most time.

Use case: Transform video into textual content

1. From webinar to blog post

A one-hour webinar can easily become a detailed blog post. Divide the content into sections, each focused on a key topic or question. Add headings, bulleted lists and visuals to enhance readability.

2. From interview to case study

Repurpose interview content into a compelling case study. Highlight the challenges, solutions and results discussed, and include direct quotes for added authenticity.

3. From tutorial to checklist

Convert step-by-step tutorials into concise checklists or guides. These formats are perfect for embedding in e-mails or sharing on your customer support platform.
