Excited to enhance your video editing process? Our new feature, Rough Cut Frameworks, is designed to streamline your editing workflow using a structured approach. This guide will walk you through using the Rough Cut Frameworks feature to create cohesive and engaging video stories from your interviews and single-camera projects.
Remember, the framework that Eddie provides you is a suggestion. You can re-work it completely if you would like.
Example: You want the conflict to lead the story before the introduction. You can instruct Eddie: “I’d like to lead with the conflict about ____, then follow up with the intro”
You can even insert your own story frameworks that you create. Feel free to write your own, and provide that to Eddie through a prompt.
You can discuss with Eddie any changes or adjustments you’d like to make to the framework. Simply ask Eddie to modify the framework as needed.
Step 1: Setting Up Your Framework
Once you’re in Eddie, specify the desired duration for your video, which can be between 2 to 10 minutes.
Eddie will provide a structured framework divided into four main sections: Introduction, Conflict, Resolution, and Conclusion.
You can discuss with Eddie any changes or adjustments you’d like to make to the framework. Simply ask Eddie to modify the framework as needed.
Step 2: Iterative Editing
Begin with the Introduction section. Provide your content, and Eddie will craft the segment according to the framework.
Review the section, and if you’re satisfied, affirm with phrases like “This is great” or “love it.” If you want changes, tell Eddie what needs adjusting.
Repeat this process for the Conflict, Resolution, and Conclusion sections.
Step 3: Finalizing the Rough Cut
• Once all sections are approved by you, Eddie will combine them to form a complete story.
• Remember, after a section is confirmed, it cannot be re-edited.
Important Considerations:
Suitability: Best suited for “talking head” style interviews. Not recommended for podcast formats.
Camera Setup: Supports single-camera projects. Multiple file inputs for different speakers are allowed.
Content Limit: Optimal for projects with less than 2 hours of input footage.
Editing Limit: Once the entire framework is completed and all sections are crafted, no further edits can be made.
Conclusion:
Rough Cut Frameworks is an innovative way to ensure your edits are structured and impactful. By focusing on one segment at a time and allowing for iterative feedback, you maintain control over the narrative while efficiently moving towards a polished final product.
