[{"step":"Prepare your inputs: Upload the raw video file and provide a technical dictionary (if applicable) in a text file or as a list of terms. Specify your target duration and preferred output format (e.g., MP4, MOV) in the prompt.","tip":"Use tools like Otter.ai or Descript to generate an initial transcript if you don’t have one. For technical terms, include variations (e.g., 'AI' vs. 'A.I.') to improve accuracy."},{"step":"Customize the prompt: Replace [VIDEO_FILE], [TECHNICAL_TERMS], [TARGET_DURATION], and [FORMAT] with your specific requirements. Include additional constraints like 'preserve humor' or 'keep pauses under 0.8s' if needed.","tip":"For YouTube content, aim for a target duration 10-15% shorter than the original to improve engagement. Use the 'smooth transitions' parameter sparingly to avoid over-editing."},{"step":"Run the AI tool: Paste the prompt into your AI assistant (e.g., Claude, ChatGPT) or a specialized video editing tool like Runway ML or Pictory. Attach the video file and dictionary if required.","tip":"For large files, compress the video first (e.g., using HandBrake) to reduce processing time. If the AI tool supports it, enable 'semantic editing mode' for better context-aware cuts."},{"step":"Review and refine: Check the AI’s edit log and output video. Use editing software (e.g., Adobe Premiere, CapCut) to manually adjust cuts, transitions, or subtitles if needed.","tip":"Focus on preserving the speaker’s tone and intent. If the AI removes too much natural speech, tweak the prompt to retain more pauses or emphasis."},{"step":"Export and distribute: Finalize the video with your preferred settings (e.g., aspect ratio, captions) and publish it to your target platform.","tip":"For social media, create a 15-30 second highlight reel from the edited video using tools like Canva or Adobe Express."}]
