How do I write Instagram captions from a YouTube video?
Turn YouTube video insights into engaging Instagram captions by extracting the hook in the first line, sharing 2 to 3 bullet points, and asking an engaging question.
Hooks before the 'more' fold
Instagram truncates captions after the first two lines. Your opening line must create intrigue or state a strong opinion before the user taps 'more'. RepurposeKit formats short copy drafts specifically to hook mobile readers.
How to use it
- Provide the source. Paste a YouTube link, public podcast RSS feed, or upload an audio/video file up to 3 hours.
- Review the transcript. Search and correct key names, numbers, or terms with fixed timestamps.
- Copy the platform draft. Review the tailored written output in your brand voice and paste it directly into your publishing tool.
