Start with a clear direction
Identify the reveal, visible result or spoken question that earns the opening. Then explain what context must follow so the hook does not become misleading.
Put it into your edit
Upload your clips to Shorty and describe the result you want. Add a reference if it helps show the pace or visual treatment. Play the first cut, then use chat to shape the next version.
An instruction to make your own
Use this direction for my video: Identify the reveal, visible result or spoken question that earns the opening. Then explain what context must follow so the hook does not become misleading. A dramatic opening must still connect to the rest of the video and accurately represent the subject.
Check the detail that matters
A dramatic opening must still connect to the rest of the video and accurately represent the subject.
Keep the next change focused
Name the moment, say what should change and describe what you want to keep. For a title, supply the replacement words. For pacing, identify the shot that needs more or less time. Play the surrounding sequence after the revision to hear and see how the change fits.
