Overview

About This Skill

How to Use

1. **Identify Your Clip’s Purpose:** Paste the [VIDEO_URL] and specify the [KEY_TOPIC_OR_MOMENT] you want to highlight. Use tools like YouTube’s timestamp feature to note exact start/end points if needed. 2. **Set Duration and Format:** Define the clip’s length ([DURATION_MIN]-[DURATION_MAX] minutes) and preferred output format (MP4, GIF, or MP3). For social media, shorter clips (30-90 seconds) perform best. 3. **Request a Hook and CTA:** Ask the AI to include a compelling hook (first 5 seconds) and a clear call-to-action (last 10-15 seconds) to drive engagement. Provide examples of tones (e.g., educational, motivational, humorous). 4. **Optimize for Platform:** Specify the target platform (e.g., Instagram Reels, Twitter, LinkedIn) to ensure the clip’s aspect ratio and captions are platform-optimized. For vertical formats, use 9:16; for horizontal, use 16:9. 5. **Review and Refine:** Use the AI’s output to generate the clip via tools like CapCut, Adobe Premiere Rush, or Canva. Adjust subtitles, add branding, or tweak timing as needed before publishing.
