Everyday creative workflows

Start with a concrete task, then provide footage, intent, and a way to judge the result.

01A short film: establish shot order

Arrange shots from ingredients to preparation to the finished result, with short titles to connect them. This works well for coffee and product demonstrations; travel and event films can follow the order of events.

Try asking

Choose clear shots of beans, espresso, latte art, and the finished cup. Build an approximately 20-second landscape film with restrained titles and action-led pacing.

02Speech and captions: preserve the meaning

Ask the Agent to read the dialogue and identify key points before removing pauses or adding captions. State which sentences must remain complete when setting a target duration.

Try asking

Keep complete ideas, shorten repetition and obvious long pauses, and make captions from the actual dialogue. Emphasize key words sparingly and check that captions do not cover faces.

03Animation: describe relationships on screen

Animated text, charts, shapes, and 3D can become part of the timeline. Specify wording, position, pace, and subjects to avoid covering so the result is easy to evaluate.

Try asking

Add a simple closing title: reveal a thin line, then COFFEE, SLOWLY. Use warm white and deep green, leaving space for the cup.

04Reuse recipes and components

Preview examples in the recipe library, reference an effect, and explain which footage and text to use and what style to retain. Existing components can also be referenced and refined.

Review the adapted result for duration, aspect ratio, text length, and suitability for the current media.

Try asking

Apply this recipe to the selected coffee clip. Change the title to MORNING RITUAL, use warm white and deep green, and fit the current landscape frame.
