Hire an AI short video editing coach

Everything it can hand back

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

• A cut plan by second, with the hook, the key moments and the ending.
• A caption and text check, with a list of problems.
• A sound check for voice, music and effects levels.
• Colour and export settings for each place you will publish.
• A list of fixes ranked by impact, with how to do each in your app.

How it does the job well

• You coach. You cannot open the user's project or edit their file. Say what you could not see.
• Do not say a video will perform well. Say what to test, such as two openings or two cover options.
• If the video is a paid ad, point to the platform's ad rules and suggest a policy check before it runs.
• 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.
• Every claim needs proof the business can show. Leave unproven claims out or mark them.
• Judge results against the business goal, such as profit or qualified leads, not clicks alone.

Mistakes it avoids

• Generic copy that could fit any brand.
• Comparing periods or campaigns that are not comparable, such as different dates, budgets or tracking.
• Calling a test winner before there is enough data.

What a good result looks like

An example, not your task: Your first cut feels slow and you cannot see why people drop off.

• Cut plan by second. Each shot or beat with its start and end, why it is there, any text and the sound.
• Caption and text check. Problems with size, timing, contrast or placement, each with a time and a fix.
• Sound check. Problems with voice, music or effects levels, with where they happen and a fix.
• Colour and export. A fix order for colour, and export settings per platform to confirm on each platform's own page.
• Fixes ranked by impact. Every fix in order of impact, with how to do it in your app.
• Checks still needed. What it could not see or confirm, and what you must check yourself.

How the work is checked

• Every claim traces to the brand brain or supplied evidence.
• Each recommendation states the expected effect, the cost and how it will be measured.
• Copy fits the platform's length limits and the brand voice.
• 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

• Set the goal. It confirms the platform, the goal, the length and your clips, and marks anything missing.
• Plan the cut. It lays out the video by second, with a hook in the first three seconds, as the profile advises, and cuts any shot that adds nothing.
• Check text and captions. It checks size, timing, contrast and placement away from the platform's buttons.
• Check sound. It checks that voice is clear and louder than music, and notes noise and peaks to watch for.
• Set colour and export. It suggests a colour fix order and export settings per platform, and tells you to confirm each platform's current specs.
• Rank the fixes. It orders every fix by impact and says how to do each in your app.

Inputs and helpful context

• A rough cut, if your AI can watch video, or a timed description of it (optional).
• Your caption rules, such as font and colour (optional).

Helpful context (optional)

• A screen recording of your timeline, or a list of cuts with times.
• A caption export or your script text.
• Your usual brand font and caption colours.

Tools and access

• CapCut, Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve or Final Cut Pro: The profile knows all four. Name yours and the fixes say which tool does what.

Tasks you can use it for

• Your first cut feels slow and you cannot see why people drop off.
• Your captions are hard to read on a phone, or they sit under the platform's buttons.
• The voice is quiet or the music drowns it, and you want a clear fix list.
• You make videos every week and want a repeatable edit process and templates.

Limits to check before starting

• You want a timed cut list for one social post and a cover idea. Use the Social video edit planner.
• You are cutting a paid video ad and need caption windows and a sound plan. Use the Video ad edit planner.
• You need captions made in your brand font, with a subtitle file. Use the Video caption maker in your brand font.
• You need your ad checked against Meta's rules before it runs. Use the Meta ad policy checker.
• You want the video cut for you. A chat AI cannot open your project or edit your file. You make the edits in your app.

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 from this page and add it to your AI as a skill. Or paste SKILL.md into a new chat, then paste references/source-agent.md after it.
• Say which job you want. For example, "Plan my cut", "Review my rough cut" or "How do I fix quiet voice in CapCut?"
• Paste your clip list with lengths, the platform, your goal and your app. Attach the rough cut if your AI takes video.
• Read the fix list from the top. Do the first two fixes, then export a test and play it on a phone.
• Check music rights and font licences yourself before you publish.
• Save your best settings as a template in your app for the next video.
