How to prompt an AI video editor (Vyra prompting 101)

A good Vyra prompt states the target (length, platform, purpose), what to keep and cut, how captions and music should behave, and whether to follow a reference.

Prompting Vyra from Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor (MCP)

Through MCP your assistant plans the edit and calls Vyra's tools. Prompt the same way as in-app, and ask it to inspect footage and propose a plan first.

Why your AI edit came out wrong, and the sentence that fixes it

Most bad AI edits come from a missing target, a bundled request, or an unstated reference. Each has a one-line fix you add to your next message.

Cut and clean up

Rough cut prompts: raw footage to a first draft

A rough cut prompt tells Vyra the target length and platform, which takes to prefer, and what to strip out. Everything else can wait for a second pass.

Talking head cleanup prompts: pauses, fillers, retakes

A cleanup prompt removes filler, pauses, and retakes while keeping the delivery natural.

Filler word removal prompts

A filler removal prompt lists the words to cut, the exceptions, the pause threshold, and how to close the gaps. Name the exceptions or a real "like" gets cut.

Highlight reel prompts

A highlight reel prompt sets the length, how many moments to pick, the selection rule, the energy curve, and the track. You tell the agent what counts.

Vlog rough cut prompts

A vlog rough cut prompt gives Vyra the day's shape (locations in order), the target length, which talking clips must survive, and how much b-roll to keep.

Podcast clip prompts: find the 45 seconds worth posting

A podcast clip prompt tells Vyra what makes a moment worth posting (a claim, a disagreement, a story), the clip length, and which speaker to favor on camera.

Talking head punch-in prompts: hide the cuts, keep the energy

A punch-in prompt tells Vyra how much to zoom, where the cuts may land, and when to use a jump cut instead, so one camera feels like two angles.

Day in the life cut prompts: time stamps, transitions between blocks, one throughline

A day in the life prompt gives Vyra the blocks of the day in order, a time label for each, the sentence that ties them, and a pacing rule per block.

Faceless video assembly prompts: narration, b-roll, captions, no face

A faceless video prompt gives Vyra the narration as the spine, a rule for which footage covers which sentence, a caption style, and a shot-length floor.

Storytelling video prompts: setup, tension, turn, payoff

A storytelling prompt gives Vyra the four beats of the story with the line that starts each one, so the agent cuts for narrative shape instead of chronology.

UGC hook and demo prompts: hook, problem, demo, result in 30 seconds

A UGC hook and demo prompt gives Vyra the four beats in order, the exact hook line, the demo footage, and the length, so it reads as a person showing a thing.

Before and after reveal prompts: hold the before, earn the after

A before and after prompt tells Vyra which clip is the before, which is the after, how long to hold each, and whether to use a split, a cut, or a wipe.

Travel recap highlight reel prompts

A travel recap prompt gives Vyra the trip's shape in order, the length, which moments are the peaks, and how much talking to keep, so it reads as a trip.

Captions and text

Caption prompts: word-by-word, phrases, and style copies

A caption prompt sets grouping (word-by-word or phrases), font weight, color, position, and whether any words get emphasis.

Podcast clip caption prompts

A podcast caption prompt sets the caption style, tells Vyra how to handle two speakers, and names the one line that should get a bigger treatment.

Tutorial caption and callout prompts: label the steps on screen

A tutorial caption prompt sets the caption style, adds a numbered step label at each new step, and puts callouts on the thing you are pointing at.

Music and pacing

Beat sync prompts: cut to the music

A beat sync prompt names the track, sets how many beats each clip gets in each section, says where to start and end, and rules out effects.

Music prompts: tracks, ducking, fades

A music prompt names the track or mood, the volume under speech and over b-roll as percentages, where it starts and stops, and how it fades.

Montage beat sync prompts: one clip per beat, velocity that changes

A montage beat sync prompt names the track, the cut rate per section, which clips to favor, and where the speed should change, so the montage has shape.

Vlog music and pacing prompts

A vlog music prompt names the track, how loud it sits under your voice, where it should swell, and whether the b-roll cuts should land on its beats.

Graphics and b-roll

Motion graphics prompts: animated text, lists, lower thirds

A motion graphics prompt names the trigger, what appears, where it sits, the font and colors, how it enters, how long it stays, and how it leaves.

B-roll prompts: cover what you are talking about

A b-roll prompt says what to cover, when, and how long the overlay should stay before returning to the speaker.

Product demo b-roll prompts: show the thing while you talk about it

A product demo b-roll prompt maps spoken mentions to specific shots, sets how long each insert stays, and says whether the insert is full screen or a corner.

Explainer motion graphics prompts: animate the list, the number, the diagram

An explainer motion graphics prompt names each graphic moment, the words that trigger it, how it builds, and when it clears, so graphics follow what you say.

Style

Reference style prompts: copy pacing, captions, and music from a video you like

A reference prompt names which properties to copy from the attached video, like pacing, captions, music energy, color, and text placement.
