From Video Prompt to Finished Edit: A Step-by-Step Workflow

How creators use a single video prompt plus a six-step production checklist (generate → grade → export).

A strong video prompt is only half the job. Production still needs reference, shot order, grade, and sound. promptcrates Video pages pair a segmented full prompt with an optional step-by-step section.

Recommended order of work

  1. Lock character or product reference stills
  2. Generate short clips from the Full Prompt
  3. Assemble on a timeline (CapCut, Premiere, etc.)
  4. Match grade and pacing
  5. Add transitions and score
  6. Export with correct platform specs

Why steps are sometimes locked

VIP step guides are part of the Pro plan. The base prompt remains free to view and copy so search and AI assistants can still cite the core recipe.
