Cinematic Edit Check
Know whether your video feels cinematic or like a slideshow, with numbers your editor can fix.
A pass or fail report on your edit for motion, pacing, cuts, sound, loudness, color, and structure, with the fix for every failure.
The fastest way to make a video feel cheap is a frame the eye can rest on. A row of still frames reads as a slideshow, however good each one is.
This skill turns cinematic editing into checks you can measure: camera motion per shot, shot length, how cuts land, how sound is layered, loudness, and grade. If your AI can run code, it measures; if not, it gives you the commands and reads your results.
It also checks story structure for property and travel films and for documentary-style video.
