Recipe answers: how do I turn the mechanics of this reference into a production plan for my own video? The Recipe surface has two parts: scene prompts generated for the whole video, and Cut Blueprints generated on demand for individual signature cuts. Both are about transferable mechanics: shot type, camera movement, staging, lighting, timing, transition, and sound cues.

Scene prompts

Every completed teardown includes scene prompts for the major scenes. Each entry: For where to paste each field, see Scene prompts.

Cut Blueprints

Each signature cut in The Cuts can produce a deeper Cut Blueprint on demand. Cut Blueprint costs 2 credits after the first free taste. It saves onto the teardown after success, so reopening it later is free.

The sound half

Visual prompts are half the plan. The Sound layer produces the matching sound recipe: genre, BPM range, SFX palette, key transition cues, and voice style. Sound Kit is the paid asset surface for stems and clips.

What to do with it

  • Do not use every scene. Pick the hook shot, proof moment, transition, and close before filling the whole timeline.
  • Keep style_notes constant. Style drift between scenes reads as weak production faster than any single imperfect frame.
  • Swap the subject, keep the shot. “Close-up of hands on a keyboard” is a shot type; put your product, person, or story into it.
  • Use Cut Blueprint for the hard shots. Spend credits where a single cut carries the mechanism you need to understand.
