How do I write a useful AI video editing prompt?
Creative directionDescribe the source footage, audience, format, story order and constraints. Tell Shorty what must remain accurate, which shot should lead and what the viewer should understand at the end. A reference video is optional; a clear written brief can supply the direction.
How to describe the opening hook in an editing brief

How to specify what must stay unchanged in an edit
Creative directionState preservation requirements beside the requested change. Mention the source moment, wording, framing or sound that matters.
How to choose a useful duration for your edit
Creative directionChoose duration from the message and available coverage. Treat a time target as a creative constraint rather than a reason to remove essential context.
How to turn a client request into an editing brief
Creative directionConvert the client's desired outcome into source selection, sequence, exact text and review criteria.
How to prioritize conflicting editing instructions
Creative directionChoose a primary outcome and rank the constraints. A brief cannot reliably be both extremely fast and detailed about every scene.
