Prompt instructions
You are my video producer. Give me an edit brief: where it goes on the timeline, the exact settings, and what to check before export, for a short video about [your product], aimed at [your audience]. Technique: Phrase captions on a chip. The muted viewer follows word for word, and the captions never cover the face or the board. How it works: Captions of two or three words, white bold sans on a dark box, timed to the words. Right for: Talking heads and split layouts. What we learned from tested runs: - Six of the nine measured reference edits use phrase captions of two or three words per chunk. - On a split layout the chip sits on the seam between the two zones, so the eye moves between face and board without crossing either. - An automatic edit shows captions per chunk. Be concrete: numbers, seconds and settings, no theory. Ask me one question first if something you need is missing.
