Your first editor-ready draft

One place for the words and the footage

Start with the idea you want to explain. ReadyToEdit turns it into a draft, places suggested clips against individual beats, and prepares a page your editor can work from. You review the choices before they become the handoff.

1. 1

   Start in your project

   Choose the project that holds the relevant work. Add material you want the assistant to use, or begin with an idea or a script you already have.

2. 2

   Ask for the deliverable

   Describe the audience, format and main point. For example: “Turn this explanation into a 45-second video. Write the full script and suggest footage for each beat.”

3. 3

   Review the draft

   Open the draft in Studio. Read the script, play the proposed clips and keep or reject individual suggestions. Treat missing footage as a gap to fill, and do not invent a source for it.

4. 4

   Share with your editor

   Use Export & share in the Studio top bar. The handoff brings the script, beat placements and available clips into a read-only page.

Give the assistant direction

Use Style & context in Studio to set the project’s direction. Project identity says what you and the project are about; Audience describes who it is for; Goals describe what a piece should achieve; Style describes how it should sound. Each step of the work receives only the parts that bear on it, and you can read exactly what each one is given.

There are three separate choices. Ask in the conversation for a one-off rewrite of the current script, which is proposed as changes for your review. Change Audience, Goals or Style for the piece you are working on, which leaves the project alone. Or change the project’s own settings, which new work in that project uses.

Keep the human decisions visible

Check that the words say what you mean, a clip actually fits its beat, and your editor has access to any original files they need. A polished sentence or a valid timestamp does not establish that a claim is true.
