Use case overview

The author had a Dot find footage, build the B-roll edit, add captions and arrange visuals over several review passes, working from his recorded narration.

Reported experience

  1. What they did

    Matt Paige gave his dot two Instagram videos as style references and a Higgsfield characters clip. His Descript project already held his narration and a launch-film overlay. The dot found official demo footage, built the split opening, B-roll, insets and progressive captions, added logos, and cut excess footage. He reviewed several exports, fixed a call-to-action and an animation himself, and pointed the dot to them as references.

  2. How it went

    They finished a short-form video. The dot trimmed the project from about two and a half minutes of excess footage and carried his manual changes into matching sections. The narration and creative judgment stayed his.

  3. Worth knowing

    Give concrete references and say exactly what to copy, such as font, size and placement. Expect several export and review passes, and check details yourself.

Example prompts

Try with Dots
I recorded narration for a video at [path or link to my narration/script]. Find suitable B-roll for each section, build a first-cut edit in [Descript or my editor], add captions, and arrange the visuals over my narration. Share the draft with a short note on what you chose, then revise based on my feedback; stop when I say the edit is final, and don't publish or export anything without asking.
