The brief
Practice clip from an indie founder podcast. Pull the strongest 55 seconds and make it scroll-proof on Reels.
My approach
Found the punchline first, built a hook around it, then resolved it. Word-by-word captions, punch-ins on the key line, b-roll only when the audio dipped.

- 03
Punch-in on the key line at 00:24

Audio cleaned and leveled for vertical playback
