# One clip into a week of posts

> One clip can become the week's files: one Create video after you approve, and five ReelGen reels. You still throw some away.

Start with one clip. Create can make one marketing video after you approve the plan. ReelGen can make five captioned reels from one upload. Together that is a week of files if you want both. Throw away any line you would not say. You still publish.

The week is files you post. It is not nine drafts of a sentence.

## What you actually get

Create is one video. ReelGen is five reels. They are different shapes of the same footage, not a quota. A week does not need all six if three of them are wrong.

## What to throw away

Throw away a caption that invents a metric, drops a limit, or sounds like a template. The useful file is the least inflated one. Post that.

## Questions

### Do I have to post every file?

No. Five reels is a menu. You post the ones that are true.

### Does this fill a content calendar by itself?

No. It makes files from a clip you already have. It does not invent the next clip.
