What problem does it solve?
This Skill helps you transform raw footage into a polished edit by deciding what to keep, what to cut, and how to shape the viewer’s experience. It is useful when pacing feels slow, the story is unclear, or you need a practical edit plan instead of vague feedback.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Story-first editing: Organizes footage through assembly, rough cut, fine cut, and polish so the narrative lands before final touches.
- Cut and pacing decisions: Recommends hard cuts, J-cuts, L-cuts, match cuts, cutaways, and action cuts to improve flow and rhythm.
- Interview and continuity guidance: Helps trim verbal clutter, hide jump cuts with B-roll, and preserve screen direction and eyeline continuity.
- Use case: A creator with a rough interview and B-roll can use this Skill to build a structured edit plan with shot-by-shot decisions, timing notes, and open questions about missing coverage.
Quick Start
