SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill turns raw UGC-style footage into a finished vertical video by removing awkward pauses, trimming bad takes, choosing the right talking-head and b-roll presentation, and placing captions where viewers can actually follow them.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Tight assembly and trimming: Cuts retakes, filler words, false starts, and dead air so the edit feels fast without sounding robotic.
  • Layout selection for UGC: Chooses between straight intercut, stacked split with b-roll on top, stacked split with talking head on top, or a floating-head approach when the visual design calls for it.
  • Captioning and pacing control: Adds short, readable captions at the seam or lower third, with word highlighting and careful timing for social-first viewing.
  • Use case: A creator hands over raw phone footage or AI-generated clips and gets back a clean 9:16 post with the strongest take, supporting b-roll, and captions aligned to the final cut.
