1. 00:00Editing & Assembly. Turning a folder of 6-second clips into something that plays like a film.
2. 00:06Editing is where AI footage becomes a video.
3. 00:11Assemble on a timeline, trim ruthlessly, and never use the full generated clip — the first and last 8 frames usually contain the worst artefacts.
4. 00:21Trim heads and tails: cut into the motion, cut out before it degrades.
5. 00:26Cut on action: a match cut across a movement hides model inconsistency.
6. 00:31J and L cuts: let audio lead or trail the picture for flow.
7. 00:36Speed ramps: slow a 6s clip to 8s for weight, or ramp up for energy.
8. 00:42Grade last: a single LUT or grade across all clips unifies mismatched outputs.
9. 00:47Reference table: Problem, Edit-room fix.
10. 00:52Note: First cut is always too long. Halve it. The version that feels slightly too fast is usually the right one.

Editing is where AI footage becomes a video. Assemble on a timeline, trim ruthlessly, and never use the full generated clip — the first and last 8 frames usually contain the worst artefacts.

• Trim heads and tails: cut into the motion, cut out before it degrades.
• Cut on action: a match cut across a movement hides model inconsistency.
• J and L cuts: let audio lead or trail the picture for flow.
• Speed ramps: slow a 6s clip to 8s for weight, or ramp up for energy.
• Grade last: a single LUT or grade across all clips unifies mismatched outputs.
