Edit style
This is how the user and I edit every ad in FilmCraft. The principles below held across four clients and about 30 videos: talking heads (Aleo), voiceover and song ads over 3D, clay and photoreal B-roll (Mysa), and a stills slideshow (CloudAlign). They apply whether the timeline holds 15 clips or 150. The format sub-skills add only what differs.
| Load | When |
|---|---|
talking-head-edit (talking-head/SKILL.md) |
One speaker (Aleo video-5, DCT-2190) or a two-woman podcast (Calvin video-23) carries the script on V1 with full-screen pictures over her |
voiceover-edit (voiceover/SKILL.md) |
Shots, clips or stills under a voiceover or a song, one picture per line (Mysa video-7 to 18, CloudAlign) |
| references/screen-inserts.md | Any search, AI-answer, typed-address, study or product-page screen: made by us as focus screens, full frame, key line at centre |
| references/recipes.md | Any change request on a saved edit: swap, remove, retime, caption fixes; FilmCraft traps |
| references/new-machine.md | A new PC, or a missing tool or font |

Also load filmcraft (CLI, bridge, export) and captions-filmcraft (fc_captions.py, fc_inserts.py). filmcraft-pacing cuts dead air and adds motion. The client folder's AGENTS.md / CLAUDE.md (playbook, taste log) and the video's own file win over this skill. Newest feedback wins over older notes.
