The whole edit in one prompt
Cut my clips into a 90-second day in the life story video for TikTok. Follow this order. - 0-3s: what today is about - 3-15s: morning, fast - 15-50s: the work, slower - 50-70s: a small setback - 70-85s: evening - 85-90s: one sentence looking back Pacing: 1.5-3 seconds per clip, faster mid-day, slower at night. Open with this. Text or voiceover that frames the day, "the day I shipped the thing" Captions: phrase captions on the voiceover, time labels on location changes. Music: one track, ducked under the voice. Avoid these. Only the pretty parts. No voiceover. Too much coffee. When you're done, list what you changed with timestamps so I can check.
One step at a time
- Day in the life cut prompts: time stamps, transitions between blocks, one throughline. Length, beat order, and pacing.
- Day in the life story video caption prompts. Style, position, and which words get bigger.
- Day in the life story video hook prompts. The first few seconds and the cut after them.
- Day in the life story video music prompts. Track, volume, and cutting on the beat.
What to say when it's off
- Captions. Captions over your face. "Move captions to the lower third."
- Hook. Hook starts late. "Cut the breath and the half second before I start talking."
- Music. Music fights the voice. "Lower the music to 15% whenever I'm talking."
