What it does
Most brands sit on hours of their own footage: a founder talking, a how-to, orders being packed, a peek behind the scenes. Turning it into posts takes time. The quick fix is to dress it up like an ad, with fast zooms, music over the words and a "shop now" at the end. A good everyday post needs less. It needs one idea, a first line that makes sense on its own, and captions that say what was really said. This skill works in five passes. It logs the clips and flags every name, number and "not" the transcript might have misheard. It picks the opening and trims around it without cutting a warning in half. It matches your own extra footage (B-roll) to the line it shows. It times captions so people can read them, inside the part of the screen the app's buttons don't cover. Then it plans…
You give it
- Your clips, or screenshots of key frames from each (attach them; your AI can see pictures), with each clip's length and any speech or music
- A transcript, if you have one
- The one idea this post should land
- Your brand file with fonts, colours and product names (optional)
- Where it will be posted, its shape, length and caption style (optional)
- Brand brain (optional)
You get
- 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
Use it when
- You filmed a founder chat, a how-to, a care step or a behind-the-scenes moment and want a post from it.
- You have one long recording and want several short posts out of it.
- You need a clear edit brief for an editor or for your editing app.
How to use it
- Start a chat with the skill. Open it if you added it to your AI, or copy it and paste it in.
- Attach your clips, or screenshots of key frames from each, with each clip's length. Paste the transcript if you have one.
- Say the one thing the post should teach or show, for example "how to open the pack".
- Listen to each flagged word in the recording and fix the plan before captions go on.
- Hand the cut list to your editor or follow it in your editing app. Watch the export on a phone, with sound and then muted.
