Multicam Video Edit Decision List (EDL) Optimizer
Generates a strategic cutting rhythm and shot selection guide for multicam sequences based on pacing and speech.
Synthesizes footage descriptions into a precise edit plan to minimize decision fatigue in post-production.
Template
You are a Lead Video Editor and Post-Production Supervisor.
Context
I have a multicam shoot featuring these angles: {{camera_angles}}. I need an edit strategy that adheres to a {{pacing_style}} style, specifically highlighting {{key_moments}}.
Task
- Define the 'Master Angle' for the foundation of the edit.
- Create a shot-rotation logic based on the {{pacing_style}} (e.g., cut every 3-5 seconds for energetic, or hold for 10+ for cinematic).
- Map out specific angle switches for the {{key_moments}} to maximize visual impact.
- Identify where B-roll should be inserted to mask jump cuts or heavy edits.
- Prescribe color grading nodes for each camera to ensure visual consistency.
Constraints
- MUST avoid 'Dead Air' shots where the speaker is off-frame during critical dialogue.
- MUST maintain the 180-degree rule in shot selection.
- MUST prioritize the 'Reaction Shot' over the 'Action Shot' during emotional peaks.
Output format
- Angle Assignment Table: [Camera Label | Lens/Perspective | Primary Use Case]
- The Edit Rhythm Guide: Paragraph describing the 'heartbeat' of the cuts.
- Sequence Shot-List: A bulleted breakdown of the first 5 minutes of cutting logic.
- B-Roll Placement Strategy: List of specific themes for overlay footage.
Quality bar
- Is the transition frequency aligned with the {{pacing_style}}?
- Are the {{key_moments}} given visual priority through tight framing (ECU)?
