What you get

The manual way vs. the fast way.

Thread anatomy

Hook tweet (earns the open), 5-8 body tweets (each stands alone but builds), payoff tweet (the takeaway or CTA). Each under 280 characters.

The slow way

Watch the video, pull the ideas, write and sequence each tweet, trim to length. Doable, but it's an hour of work.

The fast way

Paste the link into RecapGPT and choose thread. It drafts the hook, body, and payoff, each within the character limit.

Edit to your voice

X rewards personality. Tweak the draft so it sounds like you, then post or schedule.

Questions

Honest answers.

How do I turn a video into a Twitter thread?

Paste the link into a tool like RecapGPT and choose thread — it drafts a hook, body tweets, and payoff, each under 280 characters, ready to edit and post.

How many tweets should a thread be?

Usually 7-10: one hook, 5-8 body tweets, and a payoff. The tool calibrates the count to the video's content.

Will the thread sound like me?

The draft is a starting point — edit it to add your voice, since X rewards personality. The structure saves you the hardest part.
