Turning Text Posts Into Short-Form Video Scripts

You’ve probably got loads of potential video ideas sitting in your existing posts.

But turning a written post into a video script isn’t always as simple as reading it aloud.

In this practical session, I work through a range of real examples, showing how existing LinkedIn posts can be adapted into short-form video scripts.

Some need shortening. Others need a stronger opening, a different structure or more conversational language. And sometimes the best approach is to put part of the message in the video and leave the supporting details in the accompanying text.

What you’ll learn

• How to identify written posts that could work as videos
• How to adapt written language for speaking on camera
• How to create stronger openings and clearer structure
• When to shorten, expand or divide up a written post
• How to decide what belongs in the video and what belongs in the accompanying text

This is a recording of a live session featuring real examples and participant discussion. Some posts refer to news or business conditions at the time of recording, but the scripting techniques remain relevant.
