[ SLANG ][ CREATOR_ECONOMY ][ NOUN ]
The practice of cutting one or more short-form clips out of a long-form video after the fact, treating the long video as the source material a Shorts version gets derived from rather than producing each format separately from scratch.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"That whole Shorts channel is just shorts derivation from his main videos, no original short-form content at all."
LORE & ORIGIN
Named directly in YouTube creator strategy as this workflow became standard practice, distinguishing derived Shorts (built from existing long-form footage) from Shorts filmed and edited as their own standalone pieces.
