October 14, 2025
Turn one video into five posts across your main platforms today.
You need:
CapCut account
Canva account
One short raw video or screen recording
One weekly promise line
Three support bullets
Brand colors, fonts, and logo
One clean product or mockup image
One link to your main page
Steps
Set your message for the week. Write one short promise your audience wants. Add three support bullets that explain value.
Open CapCut and start a project. Import your video. Name the project with the promise and today’s date.
Set the format. Click Ratio > 9:16. Keep Scale at 100 to protect sharpness.
Check: The preview fills the frame with no black bars.Tighten the cut. Trim silence at the start and end. Remove long pauses so the pace feels steady.
Add a hook line. Place one short text line at the top that states the result. Keep words simple.
Add captions. Click Text > Auto captions. Fix names and numbers. Keep two lines per block. Merge tiny blocks so reading stays smooth.
Style for clarity. Use a bold font. Raise size until it reads at arm’s length on a phone. Keep high contrast between text and background.
Level sound. Open Audio > Noise reduction for a light pass. Set a steady volume that avoids clipping.
Add an end card. Place one short action line and your link at the end. Leave it on screen for two seconds.
Export the vertical short. Click Export > Format > MP4. Set Resolution to 1080p. Set Frame rate to 30 or 60. Name the file with the promise and v1.
Create a square video. Duplicate the timeline. Click Ratio > 1:1. Reframe the subject in the center. Move text so nothing touches edges. Export at 1080 by 1080.
Grab a thumbnail frame. Pick a clear frame with your face or the main subject. Export frame and save as thumbnail base.
Open Canva and set the Brand Kit. Load logo, colors, and fonts. Save.
Build a square graphic. Create a design for an Instagram post 1080 by 1080. Drop in the thumbnail base. Add the hook as the headline. Keep plenty of empty space. Export as JPG.
Build a three-page carousel. Duplicate the square. Page one shows the hook. Page two lists the three bullets. Page three shows a short action and your link. Export all pages as JPG.
Build a story cover. Create 1080 by 1920. Place the hook large near the top. Leave safe space for a link sticker area. Add logo in a corner. Export as JPG.
Build a Pinterest pin. Create 1000 by 1500. Place the hook at the top and the image in the middle. Keep one accent color. Export as JPG.
Write captions. Repeat the promise in the first five words. Add one support line. Paste your link. Add simple tracking tags so you know the source. Use utm_source as the platform. Use utm_medium as social. Use utm_campaign as the weekly theme.
Publish in order. Post the vertical short on your main platform. Post the square video on a second platform. Post the carousel on Instagram. Post the story with a link sticker. Post the pin with the same link.
Save and log. Store all files in a weekly folder. After one day, note views, saves, and clicks for each post. Use these numbers to guide next week.
Quick check
Vertical and square videos export at 1080p and fill the frame.
Captions read cleanly with two lines per block.
Square, carousel, story, and pin match your Brand Kit.
Every post repeats the same promise and points to one link.
All files sit in a folder named for this week.
Fix common issues
Video looks soft: Keep Scale at 100 and export at 1080p.
Text feels crowded: Raise font size and remove extra shapes behind it.
Hook feels weak: Lead with the main result in five words or fewer and place it at the top.
Audio jumps up and down: Lower loud peaks and set one steady level before export.
Pins and stories get low clicks: Move the link higher in the caption or place the sticker where the thumb reaches easily.
