After the first use you have
An edit plan with a shot table, a motion and cut plan, a sound plan with loudness targets, and a pass or fail checklist for the finished video.
A string of photos reads as a slideshow. Movement, varied shot lengths, cuts on action, and layered sound make footage feel cinematic.
This skill plans your edit in five beats, sets rules for motion, cuts, sound, and grade, and gives you a checklist to run on the finished film.
It works for property, travel, brand stories, and explainers.
