Prompting in Avid or Premiere, how do I start?

The More You Give, the More You Get

When editing with Quickture, the more details you provide about what you want, the closer Quickture will get to your vision for your footage. It’s okay to write a short prompt and see what Quickture creates. But it’s also okay to paste in your entire show bible and say “Use this as a guide on tone and structure, edit this interview of Natalie to focus on her heart transplant.”

Sample Simple Edit Mode Prompts

Here are some examples of Guided Edit notes you might enter in Edit Mode:

"Edit this scene into a kick ass one minute teaser with a montage of surprising sound bites. Make it short and snappy! We're going to use this for online promotion."

Quickture will give you its best "kick ass" teaser. Because Quickture has an understanding of the media landscape you can ask for teasers, recaps, trailers, etc...

"Focus on the emotional story. Do not include the parts where she talks about her job."

Quickture will attempt to edit the raw footage to focus on the emotional elements and will also try to eliminate the specific areas where the interview focuses on jobs.

"Remove everything about working in restaurants."

Quickture will remove all the sections about working in restaurants and deliver the rest of the raw footage.

"Select all the parts where he mentions drag racing."

Quickture will create a clip pull sequence of interview sections focused on drag racing.
