# Video & Podcast

The Video & Podcast vertical is for turning an episode, interview, or long clip into promotion. It is the one student vertical that does not add any Content Forge text modes. Instead, it unlocks a set of student preset packs inside [Video Forge](/thecontentforge-docs/feature-guides/video-studio.md) so you can drop in a recording and pull short, sharable content out of it.

### How it works

Upload your video or podcast episode to Video Forge as usual. Once it has been processed and analysed, your student preset packs appear on the Generate tab. Pick a pack and Video Forge turns the recording into ready-to-post assets - clips, hooks, captions, threads, titles, descriptions, and thumbnail text - grounded in what was actually said.

Because everything runs through Video Forge, there is nothing to write from a blank page. You start from your own material and the packs do the repurposing for you.

### Podcast and video preset packs

These are the packs built specifically for episode and long-form content.

| Pack                   | What it produces                                                                                                                   |
| ---------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Episode promo pack** | Promotion for a full episode - hooks, titles, descriptions, and social copy to announce it                                         |
| **Clip pack**          | Short, punchy clips with hook lines and captions, sized for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts                                              |
| **Repurpose pack**     | Turns one recording into a spread of formats - clips, threads, captions, and post copy - so a single episode fuels a week of posts |

### Every vertical gets video packs too

The podcast packs above are not the only ones you will see. The other student verticals each bring their own Video Forge preset packs, so the recording you upload is repurposed for whatever you are building:

| Vertical                  | Video packs                                    |
| ------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------- |
| **Student Creator**       | Creator clip pack, Creator long-form repurpose |
| **Career & Internships**  | LinkedIn pack                                  |
| **Clubs & Campus Events** | Event recap pack, Recruitment pack             |
| **Student Entrepreneur**  | Founder launch pack                            |
| **Athlete / NIL**         | Game day pack, Training cutdown                |

Which packs you see depends on the vertical set on your workspace. For the full picture of verticals and what each one adds, see [Verticals & Generation Types](/thecontentforge-docs/students/verticals.md).

### Outputs are filtered by clip length

Video Forge only offers the packs and outputs that make sense for the length of your recording. A tight two-minute clip and a full hour-long episode will surface different options, so you never have to sift through packs that do not fit what you uploaded. Shorter source material leans toward single clips and hooks; longer episodes unlock the promo and repurpose packs that spread one recording across many posts.

### Good to know

* Usage is metered in credits, the same as the rest of the student plans - see your plan for how many credits you have each month.
* Every output still passes the student content safeguards before it reaches you, and sponsored or partnership content carries the required disclosure. You are always responsible for reviewing your drafts and following your school's policies before posting.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://thecontentforge.gitbook.io/thecontentforge-docs/students/verticals/video-podcast.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
