Prompt instructions

ProductAudience

Give me a production plan: the shots or scenes in order, what each one needs, and the edit settings, for a short video about [your product], for [your audience]. The technique is edit a take in the style of a reel you like: the edit starts from a look that already works, not from settings. How it works: send the reel whose edit you like, ask for your own take to be cut in that style, review the result, then save the process for next time. It is right for: talking-head takes edited by an agent. The tools are free; the taste is in the reference. An analysis done in one chat is lost when the chat ends. Be concrete: numbers, seconds and settings, no theory. Ask me one question first if something you need is missing.

The same prompt works in Claude, ChatGPT and Gemini.
