Video longer than ~3 minutes, typically published on YouTube, podcasts, or as webinars — optimized for watch time and depth, not feed discovery.
Long-form video sits on YouTube (8–25 minute essays, tutorials, vlogs), in podcast feeds (30–90 minute interviews), and on webinar platforms. It plays by different rules than short-form: hook still matters, but the algorithm rewards total watch time and session duration, not just first-second retention.
Long-form is the highest-leverage content format for one reason — every long-form piece is a source for 20–40 short-form derivatives. A 60-minute podcast yields 10–15 clipped shorts, 5 quote graphics, 3 LinkedIn posts, an X thread, and a blog. Creators who only produce short-form run out of source material; creators who produce long-form first and repurpose down have inexhaustible variety.
Kompozy treats long-form video as a primary input source. Drop a YouTube URL or upload an MP4, and the engine generates the full five-bucket fan-out from it.
