AI Prompts for Editing Customer Testimonials

Use editing requests to shorten recorded customer testimonials while retaining qualifications, context and the speaker's meaning. Review captions and cuts in Cubix.

Quick Takeaway

Choose one point the customer actually makes, retain its supporting explanation and qualifications, and request a bounded pacing or caption change. Compare the edited passage with the full recording before sharing it.

Start with an actual recorded customer statement

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. Use footage you have permission to publish. Select one point the customer makes in their own words. Check the preceding question and following explanation before deciding what can be shortened.

Keep the limits of the statement intact

A qualification such as “for our small team” belongs with the statement it limits. Ask for that context to remain, then compare the result with the source. Providing an instruction is not proof that the edit preserved the speaker's meaning.

Requests to focus a point and tighten its pacing

Have the complete answer available and identify the passage you want to edit.

  • First request: Replace [specific point the speaker actually makes] with a point supported by the recording. Review the preceding question, selected answer and following qualification together.
Focus the recorded answer
"Focus this recorded testimonial on [specific point the speaker actually makes]. Preserve the supporting explanation and qualifications. Do not combine phrases into a claim the speaker did not make."
Tighten one passage

Replace [identified passage] with actual source words or a clearly located section. Listen across each changed join and compare the delivery with the original.

Recommended Editing Command
"Trim repeated starts and unnecessary long gaps in [identified passage]. Keep the customer's natural delivery, complete words and the context needed to understand the statement."

Requests for captions and a missing qualification

For caption corrections, open Text → Subtitles → Review every subtitle, then check the words and timing against the recording. Have the correct spellings and original qualifying phrase available before requesting a correction.

  • First request: Replace [actual name] and [actual product] with the real spellings. Check every relevant subtitle and any spoken numbers against the recording; the prompt does not verify them for you.
Add testimonial captions
"Add restrained, readable captions. The customer's name is [actual name] and the product name is [actual product]. Review those words and any numbers against the source."
Retain a qualification

Replace [exact source words] with the affected passage and [actual qualification] with the customer's recorded phrase. Confirm the source contains it, then compare the complete statement. Undo or return to source if the correction cannot restore it.

Recommended Editing Command
"Near “[exact source words]”, retain the qualification “[actual qualification]”. If the edited passage omitted it, restore it from the available source and keep the other edits."

Fictional example: keep “for our small team”

In this fictional transcript, a customer says, “The dashboard is easier to review for our small team, but we have not used it across departments.” Keeping only “The dashboard is easier to review” removes the scope and limitation. Keep both qualifications with the statement. This is an editing illustration with no claimed Cubix customer or measured result.

Compare source, edit and captions

Watch the complete answer and edited passage with sound before sharing.

  • Keep the question or explanation needed to understand the answer.
  • Verify names, products, numbers and qualifications in subtitles.
  • Listen for complete words and natural pauses at joins.
  • Check framing and caption clearance.
  • Review the exported video and obtain the customer's sign-off before publishing.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
✖ Removing a qualification to make the statement shorter.

Why it fails: The shortened answer can imply a broader experience than the customer described.

✔ Better approach: Keep the condition with the statement and compare the result to the full source.

✖ Combining phrases into a different claim.

Why it fails: The final sentence may no longer represent what the speaker said.

✔ Better approach: Use a continuous supported passage and review the surrounding context.

✖ Accepting proper names without checking captions.

Why it fails: A spelling error can change a name or product reference.

✔ Better approach: Review subtitle text against the recording and supplied spellings.
