Give your footage an overnight creative director

Hand over footage you own, a mood and a few visual rules. Get a short edited cut plus the choices your agent made while you slept.

Your copy-and-paste prompt

Read as Markdown

Replace the [brackets] with your details, then paste this into your assistant.

Be my creative director for [a 30–60 second video] using only these clips I own or may edit: [files]. The viewer is [person or audience]. Aim for [mood]. My three aesthetic rules are [rules]; avoid [specific effect]. Work for at most [time and resource budget]. Save everything to [private folder].

First inventory the clips and make a short scene plan. Select useful moments, create up to two alternate takes where a cut is uncertain, and evaluate each scene against my rules. Keep a decision log naming the chosen clip, timing, reason and rejected alternative. Assemble one complete draft with an editable timeline. Do not invent footage, use unlicensed music, imitate a real person or upload the clips elsewhere.

Play or inspect the opening, each transition and the final export. Check duration, audio, missing frames and readable text. If rendering is unavailable, return the scene plan and an explicitly unrendered edit project instead of claiming a finished video. Stop after one repair pass. Return the playable draft, project files and concise decision log for my review. Do not publish or send it.
What the result could look like

Illustrative: the weekend film with a deliberate rhythm

A family trip’s scattered clips could become a 45-second cut with three quiet scenes and one playful ending. The agent records why it chose each take. No film was made for this example.

The real-world spark

Inspired by a reported use

Wang says he ran a scene-by-scene video remake overnight and had the model evaluate takes against aesthetic criteria.

Make something

Make the app you built feel finished

Give an agent the app you already made. It finds the small moments that feel wrong, repairs one or two and leaves you a before-and-after tour.
