Here are step-by-step instructions for converting your audio podcast into vertical video clips and publishing them to IGTV and Instagram:

Setting up Connections:
- Go to the "Connections" page in Repurpose.
- Ensure you have added your audio podcast as a connection. If not, click on "Add Connection," select "Audio Podcast," and provide the necessary details.

Adding Dropbox Connection:
- Since Repurpose cannot directly upload to IGTV or Instagram, add a Dropbox connection.
- Click on "Add Connection," select "Dropbox," and authorize the connection. Name it (e.g., "Hanny's Dropbox").

Creating a Workflow:
- Navigate to the "Workflow" page and click on "Create Workflow."
- Name the workflow (e.g., "Podcast to Dropbox for IGTV - Vertical Format").
- Select the audio podcast as the source.

Choosing Snippets:
- Since IGTV has a maximum limit of 10 minutes, choose the "Snippets" option to generate shorter video clips.

Selecting Dropbox Folder:
- Click on the folder icon to choose the specific Dropbox folder where the clips will be stored. Organizing them in a designated folder helps with management.

Generating Clips:
- Repurpose will automatically create clips based on the timestamps you provided when publishing the podcast.

Manual Clip Creation (Optional):
- If needed, manually create additional clips by clicking the scissor icon, adjusting the time, and giving it a title.

Adjusting Settings:
- Go to settings and switch the template to vertical format.
- Customize the template, adding titles, subtitles, and adjusting the default snippet duration as per your preference.

Saving Settings:
- Click "Save" to retain the adjusted settings for future use.

Publishing Clips:
- Navigate to the "View Episodes" section.
- Each clip will be listed. You can preview them by clicking the eye icon.

Editing Clips (Optional):
- If needed, you can click on the scissor icon to further edit or adjust the clips.

Uploading to Dropbox:
- Click on "Publish" for each clip. The clips will be sent to your designated Dropbox folder.

Downloading from Dropbox:
- Visit your Dropbox folder and download the clips to your computer.

Using Facebook Creator Studio:
- Go to Facebook Creator Studio (facebook.com/creatorstudio).
- Click on the Instagram icon and connect your Instagram account if needed.

Uploading to IGTV:
- Create an IGTV post and upload the downloaded clip from Dropbox.
- Add a title, description, hashtags, and select a cover image.

Sharing Preview on Feed:
- Make sure to enable "Share the preview to the feed" for wider visibility.

Scheduling Posts:
- Instead of publishing immediately, schedule the posts for specific dates. This helps maintain a consistent posting schedule.

Auto-Generating Clips (Optional):
- Consider enabling the option to auto-generate clips. This will automatically send clips to Dropbox without manual intervention.

By following these steps, you'll be able to efficiently convert your audio podcasts into vertical video clips and publish them to IGTV and Instagram using Repurpose and Dropbox. This process allows you to have a week's worth of content scheduled in advance.
