Playbook: Webinar to Highlight Reel

Turn a webinar or conference talk into a sizzle reel and shareable highlights.

What you’ll get

• A short highlight reel (manually assembled from clips)
• 5–10 standalone moments for social
• A blog recap for people who missed it
• A transcript with chapters for the full replay

The flow

1. Upload the recording

For Zoom / Riverside / StreamYard recordings, export the MP4 and upload directly.

2. Tag speaker names in vocabulary

Add every speaker’s name to vocabulary so the transcript attributes them correctly.

3. Review the auto-generated chapters

Open the video detail page. Chapters mark natural section breaks; these are your candidate highlight moments.

4. Build a highlight reel

Video Tap auto-generates short clips, but for a sizzle reel you usually want to hand-pick:

1. Open the transcript and select the strongest 30–60 second sections
2. Click Create Clip for each
3. Render each as 16:9 (or 9:16 depending on destination)
4. Stitch them together in your editor of choice.

5. Make a recap blog post

The auto-generated blog gives you a starting recap. Edit it to lead with the top 3 takeaways and embed your highlight clips.

6. Promote the replay

• LinkedIn: post one quote pulled from the transcript + a clip
• Email: send the recap blog and replay link to attendees + no-shows
• Twitter: thread the top 5 quotes

Tips for webinar-specific content

• Long Q&A sections sometimes generate noisy clips. Disable auto-clips on those segments by manually creating only the polished moments.
• Slide-heavy talks transcribe well but can lack visual punch. Re-record with picture-in-picture or screen recording for better short-form output.
• Multiple speakers: consider uploading a separate file per speaker if you want clean attribution.
