Titles, lower thirds, stats and captions use this Style. If your project has a brand kit, its font and colors win.

  • Downloading the result as an MP4 is free for the first 10 each day, then 50 credits. An export to Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve or Final Cut Pro is 100 credits.

The brief Eddie follows

This is the recipe's prompt. The parts in {curly brackets} are the blanks you fill in when you run it. You can edit the brief after you add the recipe to your workspace.

Wedding highlights

Make a {target_minutes}-minute wedding highlights film for {couple} from this project in 16:9. Read the vows and speeches first and choose the lines that tell the couple's story; use them as the voice of the film. Follow the day in order: preparations and details, the ceremony with the vows and the first kiss, the speeches, and the celebration. Must include: {editorial_focus}. Keep the meaning of every vow and speech; do not invent names or relationships. Build it with create_edit_result at the target length with natural pacing. Cover the voice with footage from the day using add_brolls. Add a music bed from the workspace music library with add_music_track, ducked under speech, and snap montage cuts to the beat with snap_cuts_to_beats. Use cross-dissolves with set_transitions between parts of the day, and a fade to black at the end. Open with a title card with set_titles showing the couple's names and the date. Use only names, titles, numbers and claims that are in the footage, my notes or the project's Backgrounder. If a name or title is uncertain, ask me before you put it on screen. Style: call set_style_pack with pack "clean-white" as soon as the edit exists, before you place any title, lower third, stat or caption. Do not switch to another pack. No captions. When you finish, tell me the finished length against the target, list each item above as done or not done with the reason, and create a review link with share_review_link.
