Video Agent · Pre-editing tutorial
Turn your starting point into an ad that is ready to edit
An ad is not a single beautiful clip. It is a chain of connected creative, script, visual, and material decisions. Video Agent plans and executes that chain while keeping you in control at every important checkpoint.
02
What comes later
Subtitles, graphics, mixing, pacing, and Final Cut belong to the next tutorial.

0102
The full lifecycle
Know the decision each stage is meant to solve
Each artifact becomes input to the next stage. Clear goals and production choices early on prevent expensive rework later.
01

Why we are making the ad, for whom, and under which constraints.
02
Concept
What the ad says, how it looks, and why it should persuade.
03
Script

Two ways to make changes
Ask Agent in chat, or make the change directly on Canvas
01
Ask Agent in chat
Describe the goal, scope, and what must stay in natural language. Agent interprets the intent, carries out the change, and identifies downstream impact.
02
Edit directly on Canvas
Work with the artifacts yourself: organize the workspace, manage project assets, and use on-page tools to replace or regenerate a specific frame or video.
03
A useful boundary
Concepts and Script are review surfaces; Storyboard and Materials provide the richer local editing tools.

Chapter 02 · Two Ways to Start
Start with what you have—not with a perfect brief
You now know the difference between asking Agent to act and working directly on Canvas. The next step is giving Agent a starting point—whether that is a business need or a developed idea.
01
From Chapter 01
You understand the full workflow and the roles of Agent chat and direct Canvas actions.
02
By the end
You can start from different levels of input and control scope with short, precise requests.
02
0206
Path A · You only have a business goal
Start with what you know; you do not need a complete brief
A useful starting point can include the business goal, product, core offer, intended placement, and any constraints or assets you already know about. It does not need to be complete—the Agent can identify gaps, ask focused questions, or suggest sensible defaults.
01
Outcome
Install, purchase, sign-up, awareness, or reactivation.
02
Constraints
Platform, duration, aspect ratio, language, market, and compliance.
03
Available assets
Logo, product images, UI, brand guidelines, talent, or reference videos.
✦Example request to Agent
Create a vertical ad that drives new installs for a food-delivery app, featuring 40% off the first order. It will run in short-form social feeds and should be about 30 seconds. I have not chosen a creative direction yet, so propose several meaningfully different options first.
02
0207
Path B · You already have a developed idea
Bring the Agent your creative direction and script outline
You do not need to reduce a developed idea back to a one-line business goal. Share the core concept, how the story unfolds, and the production context you already know; the Agent can organize it into a brief and develop it into an executable plan.
01
Creative direction
The central insight, story premise, emotional tone, visual character, and the overall feeling the ad should create.
02
Script outline
The opening hook, main beats, product role, key messages, and how the story lands on an action.
03
Production context
Audience, platform, duration, aspect ratio, and any brand or reference assets already available.
✦Example request to Agent
I have a direction for a 30-second vertical food-delivery app ad aimed at young city dwellers coming home alone after working late. The idea is: ‘You get home to an empty fridge, but a hot meal is already within reach.’ In the first five seconds, our character arrives home and opens the empty fridge. The middle shows the order in the app and the courier arriving. We end with the character finally enjoying a hot meal, followed by the first-order offer and download CTA. The tone should feel real, warm, and brisk. Turn this into a clear brief, develop the script structure, and tell me what else you need me to confirm.
02
0208
A reliable request pattern
Scope + outcome + preserve + change + success criteria
You do not need to spell out all five parts every time. A short request can still be precise when it names the object, desired result, and boundary of impact.
01
Concept
Example requestGive Concept B a faster opening while keeping the core insight.
02
Script
Example requestShorten the Scene 2 voiceover to under eight seconds. Keep the offer, CTA, and every other scene unchanged.
03
Storyboard
Example requestRework only the second frame in Scene 3 so the product UI is clearer. Preserve continuity with adjacent shots.
04
Materials
Example requestRegenerate the Scene 3 delivery video with more natural movement and a locked camera. Reuse the current references.
05
Ask first
Example requestWhy did you choose this Production Plan, and which stages would a switch affect? Explain first; do not make changes.
03
0309
Chapter 03 · Creative Concepts
A strong idea needs more than appeal—it needs a production path
Agent understands your input and can now propose creative directions. Before choosing one, read what it says, why it should work, and how it is meant to be produced.
01
From Chapter 02
You have supplied a usable business goal, creative input, and production context.
02
By the end
You can compare concepts and interpret both Production Method and Visual Planning Approach.
03

The decision that shapes everything downstream
Production Plan = Production Method × Visual Planning Approach
These dimensions work together, but they are not the same. One sets the unit of production; the other sets the visual control system.
01
Production Method
Decides whether production runs by scene, by shot, through motion graphics, or with existing footage.
02
Visual Planning Approach
Decides whether control comes from references and text, per-shot images, or a motion-design contract.
03
Why confirm it now
It changes script boundaries, storyboard shape, generation controls, and the cost of local revisions.

0312
Production Method
Choosing a production unit also chooses the cost of revision
01
Scene-Based Generation
One scene becomes a connected segment that may contain several shots. Continuity is stronger, but a local failure may require regenerating that scene asset.
02
Shot-by-Shot Generation
Every frame becomes an independent video unit. Shots are individually replaceable and timeable, but require more planning and continuity control.
03
Motion Graphics Production
Build controlled animation from typography, real UI, logos, and graphics—ideal when copy and brand layout must remain accurate.
04
Existing Footage Editing
Select and assemble brand, licensed, or stock footage. The work shifts to relevance, pacing, and information progression, and may skip Storyboard.
03
0313
Visual Planning Approach
Each planning approach produces a different kind of storyboard
01
Reference-Guided Scene Plan
Uses character, environment, and product references with written shot directions. Selected keyframes are optional; not every shot needs an image.
02
Visual Shot Storyboard
Per-shot images are the primary control system for composition, action, space, product state, and transitions.
03
Motion Design Storyboard
Defines layout, copy hierarchy, bound assets, and motion behavior instead of fake live-action frames.
03
0314
Revising a concept with Agent
Name the dimension you want to change—not simply ‘try another direction’
01
Change the hook
‘Keep the core insight and product demonstration, but open with a more direct problem-led hook.’
02
Change the style
‘Keep the story, but make the polished advertising style feel more authentic and like a real user sharing an experience.’
03
Change the structure
‘Show the outcome first, then return to the problem and product journey. Keep the offer and CTA.’
✦Example request to Agent
Keep Concept 2’s core insight, offer, and product demonstration. Change the opening from a lifestyle setup to a problem-led hook. Preserve both the Production Method and Visual Planning Approach.

Chapter 04 · Script
Turn the concept into a story that can be performed and produced
The selected concept establishes the central idea and production approach. Script turns that direction into explicit scenes, actions, dialogue, and message order.
01
From Chapter 03
You have selected a creative direction and its downstream Production Plan.
02
By the end
You can read the script, review it, and ask Agent to revise a specific scene precisely.

0417
Review checklist
A strong script communicates the ad clearly and translates smoothly into production
01
Hook
Do the first seconds establish a problem, curiosity, or benefit?
02
Product proof
Does the audience see the product solve the problem rather than merely hear a claim?
03
Natural voice
Does the dialogue fit the character and platform instead of sounding like a press release?
04
Scene boundaries
Scene boundaries begin with narrative continuity. Start a new scene when time, location, character state, or the primary action goal changes clearly. Framing, camera position, and cuts are usually planned later in Storyboard.
05
Delivery
Are CTA, offer, duration, aspect, language, and platform requirements complete?
04
0418
Revise through Agent
Use the Script card to review scenes, action, dialogue, and message order
First review the narrative and production logic as a whole. When requesting a revision through Agent, name the scene, content type, and preservation boundary so approved work remains intact.
✦Example request to Agent
Revise sc2 only: compress the creator’s spoken line to four seconds and move the product demonstration immediately after the first sentence. Preserve the hook in sc1, the CTA in sc3, the offer copy, and the total duration. Keep the dialogue natural and do not change the Production Plan.
05
0519
Chapter 05 · Storyboard
Now turn the written script into a visual control system
Script says what happens. Storyboard decides what the audience will actually see and which visual controls production will follow.
01
From Chapter 04
Scenes, actions, dialogue, and product messaging now form an executable written structure.
02
By the end
You can distinguish the three storyboard strategies, read frame fields, and make local manual changes.
05
0520
Why Storyboard matters
It is not decoration—it is the visual contract between Script and Materials
01
Turns language into visible decisions
Defines who appears, what happens, where the camera is, and how the product is shown.
02
Establishes continuity
Creates shared anchors for character, environment, wardrobe, product state, lighting, and space.
03
Controls revision scope
Helps distinguish a frame issue from a scene issue or an upstream concept/script issue.
05
0521
Three storyboard shapes
The word ‘storyboard’ can describe very different control systems
01
Reference-Guided
Primarily references plus written multi-shot plans. Ordinary segments may have no image, while critical compositions such as an end card can still use keyframes.
02
Visual Shot
Every key shot has an image, and those images become the primary control for composition, action, and continuity.
03
Motion Design
Every section is a layout-and-motion contract focused on hierarchy, elements, bindings, and timing.

0522
Storyboard content types
References establish the visual baseline; frames define how content appears
Not every item on the Canvas is a storyboard image. First identify whether it is a character/environment reference or a standard/motion frame, then interpret the control it provides downstream.
01
Character Reference
Establishes identity, appearance, wardrobe, and continuity across scenes. It is a character baseline, not a specific shot.
02
Environment Reference
Establishes space, production design, color, lighting, and key viewpoints so frames remain in the same visual world.
03
Standard frame · With image
The storyboard image directly controls composition, subject placement, product state, and key action for downstream generation.
04
Standard frame · Without image
Uses written visual, action, and camera direction, commonly in a Reference-Guided Scene Plan. No image does not mean the plan is incomplete.
05
Motion Graphics frame
Defines layout, typography, graphic elements, hierarchy, and motion behavior. Its primary concern is design and timing rather than a live-action shot.

A storyboard review method
Review the full ad, then the shot plan, then each frame
Do not begin by revising frames at random. Review in three layers to find the issues that will actually affect the finished ad.
01
Count and structure
Are all essential moments covered, and does the shot count fit the duration? Look for missing steps, repeated shots, and overloaded frames.
02
Shot design
Do framing, angle, and movement help the audience read the content? Check for repetitive adjacent shots and whether the product is prominent enough.
03
Content and continuity
Are the character, product, environment, and action correct? Check whether position, state, wardrobe, and lighting connect across adjacent frames.
05
0525
Targeted revisions
Identify the issue, then make a targeted revision
01
Repeated shots · Simplify
Example request“Scene 2 has repetitive shots. Simplify it while preserving the complete product demonstration.”
02
Missing step · Add
Example request“Add an action shot between using the product and seeing the result.”
03
Unclear composition · Reframe
Example request“Change Frame 3 to a product close-up while preserving the action and environment.”
04
Incorrect content · Correct
Example request“Correct the product in the character’s hand and leave the rest of the frame unchanged.”
05
Continuity break · Align
Example request“Make Frame 4 continue the character position and lighting from the previous frame.”

Chapter 08 · Conversation Cheat Sheet
Turn the full workflow into a decision habit you can reuse
You have completed the pre-editing workflow. Finish by reducing it to a repeatable choice: use Agent for system-level change and Canvas for a specific local change.
01
From Chapter 07
The pre-production artifacts have been reviewed and handed off to Video Editor.
02
By the end
You can quickly choose where to make a change and express object, scope, and impact concisely.

Copy-ready patterns
Turn ‘I do not like it’ into an executable revision
01
Change one object
Revise {Scene / Frame / Material} only. The goal is… Preserve… Do not change…
02
Preserve meaning, change expression
Keep the core claim and CTA. Make the expression more natural/direct/urgent.
03
Compare without executing
Explain how A and B differ in control, continuity, and production effort. Do not modify the current concept.
04
Change production method
Switch to {Method}, update the Production Plan, and identify which downstream artifacts must be rebuilt.
05
Rebuild locally
Rebuild {target} using {references}. Preserve every other scene, character definition, and brand element.
