How to Turn Facebook Live Recordings into LinkedIn Clips

To repurpose a Facebook Live video for LinkedIn, download your recording, then use Vidulk’s AI clipper to create short, vertical, captioned clips that fit LinkedIn’s specs.

Facebook Live to LinkedIn Clips - How to Create Vertical

Step 1: Download Your Facebook Live Recording

First, access your Facebook Live video in Creator Studio or Meta Business Suite. Download the full recording in the highest available quality. Most Facebook Live videos are in 16:9 landscape, but some may be vertical (9:16). Save the file to your device for editing.

Step 2: Understand LinkedIn Video Specs

  • Maximum length: 15 minutes per video
  • Accepted aspect ratios: Any from 1:2.4 to 2.4:1 (includes 9:16 vertical, 4:5, 1:1 square, 16:9 landscape)
  • Resolution: From 256x144 up to 4096x2304 (common vertical: 1080x1920)
  • Captions: LinkedIn offers auto-captions you can toggle during upload, but adding your own ensures accuracy

Step 3: Use Vidulk’s AI Clipper to Create LinkedIn-Ready Clips

Open the Vidulk app (iOS or Android). Import your Facebook Live recording. Vidulk’s AI analyzes the video and automatically selects the most engaging moments. Choose vertical format (9:16) for mobile-friendly LinkedIn clips, or select another aspect ratio within LinkedIn’s accepted range. The app reframes and resizes the video, and adds captions directly to each clip. Export your finished vertical clips, ready for LinkedIn upload.

Step 4: Upload and Caption on LinkedIn

  • Go to LinkedIn and start a new post
  • Upload your exported Vidulk clip
  • Enable LinkedIn’s auto-captions if you want an extra caption layer
  • Write a clear post description and add relevant hashtags

Review your post after publishing to ensure the video displays correctly and captions are visible.

Vidulk's AI clipper (free to start, iOS + Android) finds the best moments in a long video and exports captioned vertical clips sized for the destination.
