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 45-second montage video for TikTok. Follow this order.
- 0-3s: two strongest clips, quiet part of the track
- 3-20s: build, cuts on each beat
- 20-25s: one held clip, 3 seconds
- 25-40s: peak, cuts on half-beats
- 40-45s: last clip on the final hit
Pacing: 0.5-2 seconds per clip, faster as the music builds.
Open with this. Your best two clips first, before the beat drops.
Captions: one title, maybe a closing line.
Music: the whole edit is built on it.
Avoid these. Cuts that ignore the music. Every clip from the same distance. No change of speed.
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 35 seconds. Drop the weakest part first."
  • Captions. Text too long to read. "Cut the title to 5 words."
  • Hook. Hook starts slow. "Start on the frame where the movement begins."
