Identify the complete question and answer
These are candidate requests for the Cubix AI video editor: adapt them to your available footage and review the result. They are instructional examples, not tested recipes. Choose the interview passage and listen to the question before the answer. A brief “yes” or “that depends” may be unclear without it. Note the context that must remain and any qualification at the end of the response.
Distinguish repeated starts from meaningful pauses
An interview pause can carry thought or emotion. Listen before deciding which gap is unnecessary. Ask for gentle pacing and check the changed joins.
Requests for gentle pacing and complete context
Have the full passage available and identify which question and qualification belong with the answer.
- First request: Listen to the original passage first and identify pauses you want to keep. After the edit, compare the delivery and words around every changed join.
Replace [specific topic] with the actual subject and [actual words] with the recorded qualification. Check that the edited question and answer still make sense together.
Requests for captions and a meaningful pause
For caption corrections, open Text → Subtitles → Review every subtitle, then check the words and timing against the recording. Confirm the original source contains a pause or passage before asking to restore it.
- First request: Replace [actual names] with the real spellings. Check names where they appear; supplying names does not guarantee automatic speaker labels. Review placement against both speakers.
Replace [exact source words] with the line immediately before the recorded pause. Inspect the correction. If it cannot restore that isolated cut, undo the affected edit or return to the original passage and redo the pacing more gently.
Fictional example: a question changes the answer
In a fictional interview, the host asks, “Can a small remote team use this workflow?” The guest pauses, then says, “Yes, provided everyone can access the original files.” Dropping the question loses the intended audience; dropping the condition changes the answer. Keep both and decide whether the thinking pause helps the response feel natural. This is an instructional transcript.
Review the complete conversation with sound
Watch the edited passage alongside the original answer before exporting.
- Listen across cuts for complete words and natural pauses.
- Keep the necessary question and qualifying conditions attached.
- Check speaker names and subtitle timing against the recording.
- Keep visible speakers and captions readable in the selected frame.
- Review the exported file when you produce one.
✖ Removing the question from a dependent answer.
Why it fails: The answer can become ambiguous.
✔ Better approach: Keep the part of the question needed for context.
✖ Removing all pauses from an emotional response.
Why it fails: The edit can change how the speaker comes across.
✔ Better approach: Identify meaningful pauses and compare the edited delivery.
✖ Assuming a name prompt labels each speaker correctly.
Why it fails: Caption text and speaker attribution need review.
✔ Better approach: Check actual subtitle text, timing and placement against the recording.
