Hire an AI video production planner and reviewer

Everything it can hand back

Your task sets the actual outputs. The specialist picks the methods that cover them.

• An edit plan with each scene's start, end, action, caption, b-roll and music
• A clear approve, change or reject gate before anything is rendered
• A render plan, and a rendered video if you have the tools to render
• A pass or fail check against the plan, with fixes for each fail
• Delivery files, with the caption copy and hashtags ready to paste

How it does the job well

• Nothing is rendered without the user's approval of the plan.
• Every scene has a reason: hook, setup, proof, payoff or call to action. If a scene does not earn its time, cut it.
• Captions are burned in. Do not rely on the platform's own captions.
• Use the user's footage and library first. Generate b-roll only when they cannot fill a slot.
• The check gates delivery. A fail blocks publishing.
• Write for one named audience and one action. Each asset has a single job.
• Use the customer's own words from reviews, calls or surveys before inventing language.

Mistakes it avoids

• Rendering before approval.
• Calling a plan a finished video.
• Marking a check pass without running it.
• Making b-roll when the user already has footage that fits.
• Inventing prices, claims or rights.
• Generic copy that could fit any brand.

What a good result looks like

An example, not your task: You have a long talking-head recording and want one short vertical edit with captions and an end card.

• Edit plan. A scene table with start, end, action, caption, b-roll and music, and a reason for each scene.
• Approval. Your reply to the plan: approve, change with scene notes, or reject.
• Render. The rendered video at platform size, or a render plan if you have no way to render.
• QA report. A pass or fail for each check against the plan, with a fix for each fail.
• Delivery handoff. The final file, caption copy, hashtags and whether anything was published.

How the work is checked

• The plan was approved before step 5 ran, or step 5 did not run.
• Every pass was a check that actually ran.
• Nothing was posted without the user's say-so.
• No price, rights claim or statistic was invented.
• States which checks passed, failed or could not run, and names missing inputs.

These checks have not been run against a model yet. Your AI uses them to check its own work.

Capabilities

• Check the inputs. Confirms platform, length, voice, caption style, music and rights. Asks once for what is missing. Hands step 2 a short brief. Check before moving on, the brief has every field or a MISSING line.
• Analyze the footage. Builds a timed transcript, finds scene breaks, filler words, silence and how tight each shot is. Hands step 3 a list of scenes with timestamps.
• Write the edit plan. Builds the scene table with a reason for each scene, plus total length, cut list, caption timing, b-roll slots, music and an end card. Hands step 4 a plan you can approve line by line.
• Approval gate. Waits for you. You reply approve, change or reject. Changes loop back to step 3. Nothing moves on without a yes.
• Produce the edit. Renders to the platform size or writes the render plan. Uses your footage first and only makes b-roll when a slot cannot be filled. Hands step 6 the file and the plan.
• Check the result. Tests length, hook, captions, audio, silence, end card, safe zones and colour. Returns pass or fail for each. A fail sends the edit back to step 5.
• Hand off the delivery. Returns the final file name, caption copy and hashtags. Publishes only if you gave the go-ahead and connected a scheduler.

Inputs and helpful context

The specialist starts from the task brief. Only active methods require their inputs.

For the primary method, when used

• Raw footage, or a transcript with timestamps for each clip (from your camera, recorder or a transcription tool)
• The platform, such as Reel, TikTok, YouTube Short or LinkedIn
• The length you want, such as 15, 30, 60 or 90 seconds
• Caption style, such as word by word, phrase by phrase or none, and the music mood, or none
• Your rights to the footage, music and any people shown (optional but the AI will ask)

Helpful context (optional)

• A timed transcript, if your AI cannot watch video.
• Your own b-roll library, so nothing needs generating.

Tools and access

• An AI that can watch video, such as Gemini: It can build the timed transcript and the scene list from the video itself. Other AIs need you to paste a timed transcript.
• Remotion (optional, runs code): Renders the approved plan to a video file. Needs a computer with Node installed. Check its licence for your use. The pack has a small starter project in its references folder.
• Veo (optional, paid): Makes b-roll clips when your footage cannot fill a slot. Costs money per clip. Check Google's current price before you use it.
• Slack and a scheduler (optional): Lets approval and posting happen in your team's channel. You can do both in the chat instead.

Functions and deliverables

• Video production planner and reviewer: Turn raw footage into a scene-by-scene edit plan. You approve it, then get a render check and delivery files for Reels, TikTok or Shorts.
  • An edit plan with each scene's start, end, action, caption, b-roll and music
  • A clear approve, change or reject gate before anything is rendered
  • A render plan, and a rendered video if you have the tools to render
  • A pass or fail check against the plan, with fixes for each fail
  • Delivery files, with the caption copy and hashtags ready to paste
• Video ad production plan builder: Turn your product facts and ad idea into a video ad production plan: cast kit, timed shot table, clip prompts and edit handoff in one style.
  • plan
  • script
  • shot list
  • video prompt
  • Missing inputs and steps that still need to run
• Video caption maker in your brand font: Attach clips, a transcript and font files. Get a timed caption plan, fault list and, with editing tools, captioned video and subtitles.
  • Caption groups per clip, word for word, with each line's length
  • A timing table with each caption's start, end and reading speed
  • A checklist per caption and a fault list with the smallest fix
  • Clean and captioned videos plus a matching .srt file, when run in an editing tool
  • Any caption check it missed or couldn't check, each named
• Social video edit planner: Plan a social video edit from your own clips. Get a timed cut list, captions, cover and export checks for one clear post.
  • The post's purpose and its opening line
  • A cut list with source, in and out times, what's on screen, caption timing and sound
  • Extra shots, each with the line it covers, or the shot still to film
  • A list of words to confirm against the recording before captions go on
  • The cover, post caption, ending, and export settings with the checks to run
  • Any of its six checks the plan still misses, one line each
• Brand profile builder: Share your website. Get a reusable profile covering your products, customers, voice and approved claims, with sources.
  • A folder of eight plain files, from a start file for your AI to a claims list and a change log
  • A tag on every fact, and every claim marked approved, pending or banned
  • A two-sentence diagnosis of your biggest gap, and a list of what's missing and who can answer it
  • A short slice for your next step, if you name one

Tasks you can use it for

• You have a long talking-head recording and want one short vertical edit with captions and an end card.
• You post a Reel, TikTok or Short most days and want a repeatable edit with a check before posting.
• You cut several shorts from one podcast or talk and want each one approved before any render.
• A client pays for the video and you need a record that the edit matched the approved plan.

Limits to check before starting

• You want a single static clip trimmed or a quick caption. Edit it in your phone or editing app, or use the video ad edit planner for a cut list.
• You have no footage yet. Write the script first with the founder video ad script writer or the Video ad message planner.
• You only need captions in your brand font. Use the video caption maker in your brand font.
• You want finished sound, not a cut. Use the Video audio finishing planner workflow.

Best way to use this role

Give it one clear outcome, the actual files and a definition of done. Keep the work in one AI project so it can reuse checked context and earlier files.

• Download the pack and give it to an AI that can read your footage or transcript. Some AIs can watch video. If yours cannot, paste a transcript with timestamps.
• Say the platform, length, caption style, music mood and who owns the rights to the footage.
• Read the edit plan. Reply approve, change with scene numbers, or reject. Nothing renders before you approve.
• To get a finished video you need a way to render, such as Remotion or your own editor. Without one, use the plan as a cut list.
• Check the final file against the pass or fail list. Fix every fail before you post.
