Start with the whole edit in one prompt. If one part comes back wrong, open that step and use its fixes.

The whole edit in one prompt

Cut my clips into a 90-second lessons learned video for TikTok. Follow this order.
- 0-3s: the outcome and how many lessons
- 3-8s: the proof on screen
- 8-70s: each lesson, what I did, what happened, what I'd do now
- 70-80s: the one that matters most
- 80-85s: what's next
Pacing: one lesson per 15-20 seconds.
Open with this. The result as a number, "I posted 100 videos. 3 things I'd change."
Captions: phrase captions plus a card per lesson.
Music: light, neutral.
Avoid these. Generic lessons. No proof. Too many lessons.
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."
