Create quick cuts using your uploaded media in a few simple steps.
Writing an effective text prompt is essential in generating a compelling quick cut video. Write your prompt like you’re briefing a real editor. Whether it’s a social hook, a thoughtful story, or a polished recap, clear instructions can help bring your vision to life.
A good prompt usually answers three questions:
- What are you making? Explain what you want from the prompt.
- What should it focus on (or skip)? Provide clear directives on what you want to include and what you wish to remove.
- How should it feel? Define the mood of the story you're building.
