The whole edit in one prompt
Cut my clips into a 90-second founder build-in-public video for TikTok. Follow this order.
- 0-3s: the number or the decision
- 3-10s: context, one sentence
- 10-50s: what happened, face and screen alternating
- 50-65s: what you learned or what's next
- 65-75s: ask for input
Pacing: face 5-8 seconds, screen 3-5 seconds, back and forth.
Open with this. The number or the decision, "we killed pricing tiers yesterday, here's why"
Captions: phrase captions, big number cards.
Music: low, neutral.
Avoid these. Vague updates ("big week") Numbers said but not shown. Too polished.
When you're done, list what you changed with timestamps so I can check.One step at a time

What to say when it's off
- Rough cut. Too long. "Cut it to 70 seconds. Drop the weakest part first."
- 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."
- B-roll. B-roll stays too long. "Come back to my face after 3 seconds of b-roll."
