# Repair Video Editing
|
|
|
|
**Goal:** Cut and edit long repair videos into polished content with captions and AI-generated background music.
|
|
|
|
**Frequency:** As-needed (per video batch)
|
|
|
|
**Time Budget:** Varies by video length
|
|
|
|
## Core Workflow
|
|
|
|
### 1. Import & Review
|
|
- Import raw repair footage
|
|
- Watch through at 2x or more speed, note key timestamps
|
|
- Identify: intro point, key repair steps, completion/test moment
|
|
- Flag any unusable sections (bad audio, out of focus, etc.)
|
|
|
|
### 2. Rough Cut
|
|
- Remove dead time, searching for tools, phone interruptions
|
|
- Cut repetitive sections (multiple screws, waiting for heat, etc.)
|
|
- Keep essential steps intact for educational value
|
|
- Target length: depends on platform (short-form vs long-form)
|
|
|
|
### 3. Captions (If Needed)
|
|
- Auto-generate captions using transcription tool
|
|
- Review and correct technical terms (capacitor, reflow, BGA, etc.)
|
|
- Style: clean, readable font, contrasting background
|
|
- Position: lower third, avoid covering repair work
|
|
|
|
### 4. AI Music (If Needed)
|
|
- Generate background music that fits repair content vibe
|
|
- Keep it subtle - shouldn't compete with narration/sound effects
|
|
- Match energy to video pace (chill for detailed work, upbeat for time-lapse)
|
|
- Ensure royalty-free/cleared for commercial use
|
|
|
|
### 5. Export
|
|
- Format: H.264/H.265 for compatibility, or platform-specific
|
|
- Resolution: Match source (typically 1080p or 4K)
|
|
- Audio: Balanced levels between voice, music, repair sounds
|
|
|
|

## Platform Considerations
|
|
|
|
### Long-form (YouTube)
|
|
- Keep educational value, show full process
|
|
- Chapters/timestamps for navigation
|
|
- Detailed captions help accessibility & SEO
|
|
|
|
### Short-form (TikTok, Reels, Shorts)
|
|
- Under 60-90 seconds
|
|
- Punch in tight on repair work
|
|
- Bold captions, faster pacing
|
|
- Hook in first 2-3 seconds
|
|
|
|
## Quality Checklist
|

|
## File Organization
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
/videos/
|
|
/raw/ # Original footage
|
|
/projects/ # Editor project files
|
|
/exports/ # Final rendered videos
|
|
/assets/ # Music, graphics, templates
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Notes
|
|
- Keep raw footage until video is published and performing well this can just be written into the #media channel in the Discord
|
|
- Save project files for potential re-edits if possible not super required.
|
|
- Possibly Build a library of approved AI music tracks for consistency
