AI Video Editing Prompts

1. Name the source, task and constraint

Identify the uploaded clip or section, say what should change and state the information that must remain. These are example requests to adapt to your recording; no generation or export result is claimed.

Use an existing spoken recording. Listen around cuts and correct the caption text.

2. Identify the section precisely

Use a filename, a timestamp you checked or a distinctive phrase in the actual recording. Include enough surrounding context to distinguish repeated statements. Review the selected section before treating the reference as resolved.

• File: name the uploaded source.
• Time: confirm the start and end in the source.
• Speech: quote a line that exists in the recording.
• Visual: describe the action and confirm the selected moment.

3. Choose a task you can review

Start with the concrete change rather than a vague quality label. Use the relevant tool when you need captions, silence removal or candidate social clips, then inspect its output.

• Pacing: shorten long waiting gaps and listen to the cuts.
• Captions: generate or restyle text and check transcription.
• Clips: request candidates, then review their context and endings.
• Framing: specify the output shape and check the subject.
• Cutaways: identify uploaded supporting footage and intended placement.

4. State what must stay

Give the intended format and length, any complete exchange that must remain and treatments you want to avoid. Counts and duration targets are requests to verify against the returned result, not guarantees that every recording contains enough useful material.

• Keep the question with its answer.
• Preserve numbers, cautions and qualifications.
• Avoid cuts inside words or necessary demonstrations.
• State the crop and check that useful detail fits.

5. Keep revisions focused

Combine only changes you can review together. When a result is wrong, identify the affected section and request a correction instead of rerunning the whole treatment.

Use after inspecting a pacing pass and confirming which pause was removed.

6. Pick the guide for your footage

Use the task-specific guides below for prerequisites, source-file references and review checks. Start with talking-head recordings, podcasts, screen walkthroughs, captions or product demos rather than copying an unrelated treatment.

• Talking-head: pacing, captions and restrained emphasis.
• Podcasts: standalone candidates with complete answers.
• Screen recordings: waiting gaps without missing actions.
• Product demos: preserve the explanation and demonstrated result.
• Captions: check words, timing, style and placement.
