A Claude prompt that turns any script into a full short-form video edit plan

anthara_ai · x · 2026-09-25

antharaai's prompt series part 5: feed Claude a script or transcript and have it act as a professional short-form video editor mapping the entire edit.

The prompt asks Claude to break content into scenes and specify where to cut, tighten pacing, add B-roll, captions, zooms, screenshots, visual changes, sound effects, music shifts, and pattern interrupts. Every edit must serve the message and avoid gratuitous effects; the opening is optimized for retention, and the final video fast but easy to follow. The resulting plan slots into any editing workflow.
