A video brief for an editor needs a one-sentence concept, a beat-by-beat storyboard (hook, body beats, CTA end frame), shooting direction covering lighting and gear, and editing direction covering music, cut style, and subtitles. This Skill generates that structure as a Markdown file.

The script is the spoken content structured hook-body-CTA, while the editor brief is the production direction covering what to shoot, how to cut, music, overlays, and export specs. Write the script first, then paste its lines into the storyboard's dialogue column.

TikTok, Reels, and Shorts use 9:16 at 1080x1920 with 15-60s length and safe zones of 150px top and 300px bottom. YouTube in-stream uses 16:9 at 1920x1080 for 3-5 minute videos with a separate 1280x720 thumbnail.

No. Multiple formats need separate briefs because Meta ads place the CTA earlier than organic content and require both 1:1 and 9:16 exports. Running one brief across formats produces cuts that fit neither placement.

Do not use it for writing spoken on-camera lines (use the script skill), briefing a creator to film their own content (use the UGC brief skill), or resizing a finished video (use the asset resize skill). It covers brand-produced video only.
