How to Turn Facebook Live Videos into X (Twitter) Clips - Fast and to Spec

To convert a Facebook Live recording into short, vertical clips ready for X (Twitter), you need to trim, reformat, and caption your content to fit X’s requirements. Vidulk’s AI clipper app automates this process for you.

Facebook Live to X (Twitter) Clips - How to Convert

Step 1: Download Your Facebook Live Recording

Start by downloading your Facebook Live video from Meta Business Suite or Creator Studio. Facebook typically saves live streams in 16:9 (landscape) or sometimes 9:16 (portrait) format. Download the highest quality version available for best results.

Step 2: Understand X (Twitter) Video Specs

  • Aspect Ratio: 16:9 (landscape/portrait), 1:1 recommended. Accepted range: 1:3 to 3:1.
  • Resolution: Recommended 1280x720 (landscape), 720x1280 (portrait), 720x720 (square).
  • Captions: X supports SRT subtitle files attached to uploads on web.

Step 3: Use Vidulk to Automatically Clip, Caption, and Resize

  • Open the Vidulk app (iOS or Android).
  • Paste your Facebook Live video link or upload the file.
  • Vidulk’s AI analyzes the video to find the most engaging moments and automatically creates short clips.
  • Choose the vertical (portrait) format for X, or select 1:1 or landscape as needed.
  • Vidulk adds captions directly to the video for improved accessibility and engagement on X.
  • Export your clips, ready to upload to X (Twitter).

Step 4: Upload to X (Twitter)

On X, upload your exported clips. For captions, you can either use Vidulk’s burned-in captions or attach an SRT file via X’s web interface if you prefer separate subtitles. Double-check that your video meets X’s length, aspect ratio, and resolution requirements for smooth playback.
