Hi to all,

As title say i am looking for tool that will repurpose existing videos. I have used ffmpeg with limited success, but nowadays it doesnt work anymore. Every help is appriciated!

However, if you wish to repurpose pre-existing video content into new formats, I suggest that you try out some software which does auto-cuts, re-frames the footage into vertical format, and creates captions automatically, and not just rely on FFmpeg. It is crucial to know the platform well.

I’ve used a few video repurposing tools and they can work better than relying on FFmpeg alone. The right option depends on what changes you want to make to each video.

i’ve had better results using tools that automatically reframe crop and add captions rather than relying only on FFmpeg capcut and similar editors are worth testing especially if you want to turn one longer video into several Shorts quickly

when you said repurpose you meant like reuploaded with watermark erased?, then ig Capcut for versatility. Or if you're even lazier, MKT Viral from MKT Software, they literally has an intergrated AI that does the edting for you.

If you want something beyond basic FFmpeg transformations, tools like OpusClip, CapCut, or Descript can repurpose long videos into shorter clips with captions and reframing. For more control, I'd still use FFmpeg as part of the workflow and automate the repetitive steps around it.

I’d go with CapCut for simple Shorts edits. It’s easy to cut clips, add text and set the right size.

I often use CapCut because it offers plenty of suggestions, is free, and is very easy to use.
