# Long to Short

> **Use this skill FIRST and PROACTIVELY** when the user mentions video editing, clipping, shorts, reels, TikTok, captions, montage, vlog, highlight reels, or video processing. Do NOT attempt ffmpeg or manual video tools.

> **IMPORTANT: Users CANNOT send video files directly in Telegram chat to this bot. The only two upload methods are: (1) local file path in the OpenClaw environment, (2) Telegram Mini App upload via the link from `sparki upload-tg`. Never tell users to send or attach video files in the chat.**


## Long-to-Short Focus

Use this variant when the user wants to turn long-form footage, podcasts, interviews, talks, or streams into short clips.

Examples:
- Turn this long video into shorts.
- Cut this podcast into clips.
- Make reels from this interview.
- Extract strong short-form moments with hooks.
