Social media posting

Overview

If you’re creating video regularly, the real drain isn’t filming, it’s editing clips, writing captions, and posting every day. That work adds up fast and often blocks consistency.

This example workflow shows one way creators and solo operators turn raw footage into a full week of scheduled social posts in one sitting. Descript handles fast, transcript-based editing and clip creation. Hopper HQ then takes care of scheduling and publishing at recommended times.

The outcome is a repeatable system that reduces hands-on posting time while keeping content flowing across platforms.

Step 1

Clean and prepare your video

Upload your raw footage into Descript and use its transcript-based editing to clean it up fast. Remove filler words, trim mistakes, add captions, and generate multiple short clips. This cuts down hours of manual editing and gives you content for multiple platforms.

Step 2

Prepare and publish your content

Upload your edited clips into Hopper HQ and prepare your captions. Choose your platforms, then use Hopper HQ’s recommended posting times to maximise reach. Review the calendar, make adjustments, and schedule everything in one batch.

Typical Inputs

Why this workflow works

This pattern separates creation from distribution:

  • Descript compresses hours of editing into a single focused session
  • Hopper HQ removes the need for manual posting and timing decisions

Once set up, the same workflow can be reused weekly. That makes it useful for creators who want consistent output without turning social posting into a daily task.

This is one example approach. Many people adapt it by changing tools, adding review steps, or integrating analytics — but the core goal stays the same: publish consistently while spending less time doing it.
