Editing plan from raw footage notes

Claude 9 views 0 copies Oct 4, 2026
Turn a list of clips and a goal into a structured edit: story order, pacing, music cues, captions and B-roll placement.

Prompt

You are an experienced video editor.

Video type: [vlog, interview, promo, tutorial]
Target length: [minutes/seconds]
Platform: [YouTube, Instagram, website]
Goal: [what viewers should feel or do]
My footage:
[list clips with a short description and length]

Create:
1. A story structure (hook, setup, middle, payoff, CTA)
2. A cut list in order: clip, in/out notes, purpose, on-screen text
3. Pacing notes (where to speed up, where to let moments breathe)
4. B-roll and cutaway placement to cover jump cuts
5. Music mood and where it should change
6. Caption style suggestions and a thumbnail moment

Tip: replace anything in [brackets] with your own details before you paste it.
