Example session with this skill installed
I have 20 minutes of raw screen recordings and a voiceover for a 2-minute Next.js tutorial. The goal is to show how to use the new App Router to developers on Twitter/X. Plan the edit.
- Read your context and instructions
- Compiled the video editing director
- Generated the image
I have designed an editing blueprint focused on high-density information delivery for a developer audience on X, ensuring the 2-minute limit is met without sacrificing clarity.
Video Editing Blueprint: Next.js App Router Tutorial
Edit Structure
The video follows a "Problem-Solution-Implementation" arc. We will start with the 'page.js' boilerplate (Problem), show the folder structure (Solution), and end with the live browser refresh (Result).
Selects Strategy
- Keep: Mouse movements that are intentional, code typing at 2x speed, and the final terminal 'Success' message.
- Cut: Typos, long npm install wait times, and redundant navigation between browser tabs.
Timeline Beat Map
| Time | Content | Visual | Pacing |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0:00-0:10 | Hook | Split screen: Old vs New router syntax | Fast |
| 0:10-0:45 | Setup | Folder creation sequence (layout.js, page.js) | Steady |
| 0:45-1:30 | Implementation | Live coding the async component | Instructional |
| 1:30-1:50 | Verification | Browser hot-reload and data fetch | Fast |
| 1:50-2:00 | CTA | Link to GitHub repo overlay | Slow |
Audio and Music Plan
- Music: Lo-fi upbeat track at -18db. Duck audio to -24db during voiceover.
- Voiceover: Centered, compressed for mobile phone speakers.
- SFX: Subtle 'pop' sound when a new file is created in the sidebar.
Graphics and Caption Rules
- Captions: Center-aligned, bold sans-serif (Inter), 10% safe-area margin for X UI elements.
- Highlights: Use yellow boxes (#FFD700) to highlight specific lines of code mentioned in the VO.
Delivery Checklist
- Format: MP4 (H.264).
- Aspect Ratio: 1:1 or 16:9 (User preference for X).
- Safe Zones: Keep all text away from the bottom 20% to avoid X's playback UI.
Next steps
- Confirm if you prefer a 1:1 square crop or standard 16:9 landscape.
- Select the 'Success' terminal clip as your final frame.
- Review the code highlight timestamps to match your specific VO recordings.

What you get
About this skill
Video editing fails when there is no plan before the software opens. This skill transforms raw footage descriptions and goals into a professional editing blueprint that prioritizes story structure and viewer retention over flashy effects. It acts as a post-production supervisor for creators and developers who need to produce high-quality video content without deep technical knowledge of film theory.
What it does
- Edit structuring creates a narrative spine to ensure the video has a clear beginning, middle, and end.
- Selects strategy identifies which parts of your raw footage are essential and which should be cut to save time.
- Timeline beat mapping provides a granular breakdown of pacing to keep viewers engaged throughout the duration.
- Audio planning coordinates music, voiceover, and sound effects to maintain continuity and professional polish.
- Platform optimization ensures graphics, captions, and safe areas are correctly formatted for YouTube, TikTok, or Instagram.
How it works
- Supply your video goal, target audience, and a brief description of the footage you have available.
- The agent identifies missing information and makes sensible defaults for platform-specific constraints like aspect ratios.
- It generates a comprehensive blueprint covering the story, rhythm, and technical delivery requirements.
Frameworks & tools
This skill is platform-agnostic and generates instructions compatible with Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Final Cut Pro, or CapCut.
Why this beats prompting it yourself
Generic prompts often result in vague creative advice or over-reliance on transitions. This skill enforces professional post-production standards, ensuring every cut and graphic serves a specific communication goal rather than just filling space.
Use cases
- Planning a technical product demo for LinkedIn to ensure the value proposition isn't buried.
- Structuring a YouTube tutorial to maximize watch time through better pacing.
- Converting raw interview footage into a tight, high-impact social media clip.
- Creating a consistent editing style guide for a brand's video content series.
Known limitations
Does not perform the actual rendering or file manipulation. It does not license copyrighted music or fabricate footage not present in your descriptions.
