Use one guide for the decision in front of you.
Start with the long-video workflow when you need an end-to-end editing method. Use the podcast rubric when a source contains many interesting exchanges but only a few complete standalone moments. Use the caption guide when the selected idea is sound but the vertical composition or text treatment is difficult to read.
The guides are designed to work together without repeating one another. Selection decides whether a moment deserves to become a clip; composition and captions decide whether the finished clip can be understood comfortably.
