Author shares the full prompt for AI-assisted, beat-synced music video editing

The author shares the starting prompt they used to have AI cut a music video from a media pool, reproducible for your own footage:
- Clip selection: review all source clips first, keep only footage serving the music, pacing and visual coherence; don't force every clip in, prioritize the strongest shots and sections.
- Music analysis: analyze tempo, beat, dynamics and structure before editing; identify key beats, sections, transitions, buildups, drops and peaks as timing anchors.
- Beat-synced editing: cut visuals to the rhythm, vary shot duration, use cuts and match cuts on the beat, avoid repetition, and build a dynamic progression with buildup, peaks, release and breathing room.
The core idea: encode an editor's judgment (shot selection, beat sync, rhythmic storytelling) explicitly into the prompt so AI handles the edit.
