Create Quote Cards from Strongest Statements

Task Library

Turn the video's best verbatim soundbites into attributed visual quote cards for social posting and article imagery.

Category: Content Factory – Process

Use this when a transcript contains short, punchy statements that work as standalone text – typically right after clip extraction has surfaced the best moments.

Inputs

  • The verified transcript (and clip log, if extract-15-60-second-clips-from-long-form-video already ran)
  • A real photo of the speaker from the Content Library (no stock imagery)
  • The brand's visual conventions (colors, logo, typography)
  • A design tool the team already uses for social graphics

Steps

  1. Sweep the transcript for one-to-two sentence statements that stand alone: contrarian claims, hard numbers, blunt advice ("the lowest quote is usually the most expensive one").
  2. Keep quotes VERBATIM – what the person actually said, from the verified transcript. No tightening that changes their words; credibility is the asset.
  3. Shortlist 3-5 quotes per source video; reject anything that needs context to land.
  4. Design each card: the quote large and readable at thumbnail size, attribution line with full name and company (e.g., "Marko Sipila, HVAC Quote"), the speaker's real photo, brand colors/logo. No stock backgrounds.
  5. Export per-destination sizes (square for feed, vertical for stories) with descriptive filenames.
  6. Verify each card against the transcript one last time – a misquoted card published is worse than none.
  7. Log cards in the Content Library tracker, linked to the source video row, routed to create-social-media-posts-per-platform and available as article imagery for Step 8.

Definition of done (QA checklist)

  • Every quote is verbatim from the verified transcript
  • Full attribution on every card: name + company/title
  • Real photo of the speaker used – zero stock imagery
  • Readable at thumbnail size; brand-consistent design
  • Cards logged, linked to source, and routed in the tracker
  • Linked back to the definitive article and relevant siblings

Example(s)

  • Example needed – run the Meta-Article Prompt after first real run. Candidate: quote cards from a Zach Peyton (Superior Fence & Rail) interview's strongest lines.
