## Scenario

An automotive dealership or car content creator records full walkaround videos, test drives, and feature showcases — often 10-30 minutes long. They need to produce multiple short-form clips per vehicle to drive traffic on TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts without spending hours in a video editor for every listing.
