Set Up the Project and Upload Assets

Key Takeaway: A clean project setup avoids downstream inconsistencies.


Claim: Naming the project and uploading brand assets keeps outputs on-brand.

Start by creating a New Project and giving it a clear name.
Prepare a simple checklist every time for predictable results.
Consistent inputs lead to consistent outputs.

1. 
   
2. Click New Project and name it.

AI Analysis and Clip Strategy

Key Takeaway: Let the AI find engagement spikes, then guide it with a clip-length strategy.


Claim: The AI scans for laughter, topic shifts, applause, punchlines, and energetic moments.

The scan mimics signals creators chase manually, but much faster.
You can bias outputs toward Reels/TikTok or Shorts with a mixed approach.
Full-session uploads help the AI choose better in/out points.

1. 
   
2. Choose a clip strategy: 15–30s, 45–60s, or Mixed Edits.
3. 
   
4. Allow the AI to finish analysis.
5. 
   
6. Review the auto-generated pack with thumbnails and suggested captions.
7. 
   
8. Use the estimated performance score as a filter, not a rule.
9. 
   
10. Prefer untrimmed source sessions to improve clip boundaries.
11. 
    

Review and Edit Clips Fast

Key Takeaway: Light, on-platform edits beat bouncing between heavy NLEs for volume work.


Claim: A two-second shift often fixes awkward starts picked by the AI.

Editing is streamlined in a mini timeline per clip.
You can trim endpoints, drop in B‑roll, set aspect ratios, and style captions.
Automatic captions are editable and can be burned-in or exported as SRT.

1. 
   
2. Skim suggested clips and select promising candidates.
3. 
   
4. Trim start/end points on the mini timeline.
5. 
   
6. Add or swap B‑roll for visual variety.
7. 
   
8. Toggle Auto‑Subtitle and choose your caption style.
9. 
   
10. Pick aspect ratio presets (9:16, 1:1, 16:9) per platform.
11. 
    
12. Apply quick two‑second nudges to fix entrances/exits.
13. 
    

Thumbnails and Titles in Minutes

Key Takeaway: Start with AI templates, then make small tweaks for punch and clarity.


Claim: AI-suggested titles and template-based thumbnails are strong starting points.

You get thumbnail templates and multiple variants with your logo and headline.
Small contrast or text tweaks usually finalize the design.
The goal is consistency, not design marathons.

1. 
   
2. Open thumbnail templates and generate variants automatically.
3. 
   
4. Pick a variant with clear contrast and legible text.
5. 
   
6. Tweak headline or colors as needed.
7. 
   
8. Review AI-suggested titles and refine phrasing.
9. 
   

Auto-Schedule and the Content Calendar

Key Takeaway: Scheduling from one calendar turns a clip pile into a consistent posting cadence.


Claim: Auto‑Schedule maps clips to platforms and times based on predicted fit.

Choose platforms and posting frequency to build a pipeline.
Drag-and-drop for manual control or convert to a draft queue.
The Content Calendar centralizes edits, status, and rescheduling.

1. 
   
2. Open Auto‑Schedule and select platforms (TikTok, Instagram, YouTube Shorts, X/Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.).
3. 
   
4. Set posting frequency (e.g., daily at noon and 6pm).
5. 
   
6. Let the system assign clips to time slots by predicted engagement and length.
7. 
   
8. Drag-and-drop to reshuffle or convert to a draft queue.
9. 
   
10. Use the Content Calendar to track scheduled, posted, and drafts.
11. 
    
12. Edit captions or swap thumbnails directly from the calendar.
13. 
    

Collaboration, Multi‑Cam, and Pinned Segments

Key Takeaway: Advanced inputs and team features polish interviews and podcasts without extra tools.


Claim: Uploading multi‑cam and separate audio enables automatic sync and better angle picks.

Multiple cameras and separate audio tracks can be synced automatically.
You can pin recurring segments or provide timestamps to prioritize hooks.
Teams can tag reviewers, comment by timestamp, and lock approved clips.

1. 
   
2. Upload all camera angles and separate audio files.
3. 
   
4. Let the system sync tracks and propose angles per clip.
5. 
   
6. Pin key timestamps or submit a timestamps file for recurring hooks.
7. 
   
8. Tag teammates for review and leave time‑stamped comments.
9. 
   
10. Lock sponsor‑approved clips to prevent accidental edits.
11. 
    

Fair Comparison and When It’s Worth Paying

Key Takeaway: Bundling the whole pipeline saves time and often money for high-volume creators.


Claim: Pay‑per‑clip or per‑minute tools get expensive at scale and often miss captions or thumbnails.

Some tools auto‑cut but leave captioning, thumbnails, or formatting to you.
Older workflows push you back into heavy editors for polish.
A bundled flow avoids manual exports and reuploads.

1. 
   
2. Compare pricing models if you publish at volume.
3. 
   
4. Consider whether you need captions, thumbnails, and scheduling in one place.
5. 
   
6. If you post once a week, a premium stack may be overkill.
7. 
   
8. If you monetize via growth or sponsors, time saved can exceed the subscription.
9. 
   

Post, Measure, and Train the AI

Key Takeaway: Closing the loop with performance data improves future clip packs.


Claim: Marking winning clips as favorites tunes future AI selections toward similar moments.

Publishing can be automatic or draft-based.
Basic performance metrics feed back into the calendar for quick reads.
Use results to guide the next scan.

1. 
   
2. Choose auto‑publish or draft approvals.
3. 
   
4. After posting, review performance in the calendar.
5. 
   
6. Mark top performers as favorites.
7. 
   
8. Rerun with updated preferences for the next long video.
9.
