How to Automate Your ENTIRE Editing Job ($49,540/Mo) – Transcript

00:00I'm about to show you how I run my six-figure editing business with no employees. Well, technically I have employees, I just don't pay them very much. In this video, we will be going deep into advanced B-roll, advanced motion graphics, what this looks like if you have more than one client, how you can set this up, walk away, and get live updates on your phone, and finally how to set up an extremely appealing offer to potential clients, or even just to use on yourself. Now, the majority of people on this planet don't realize you can take a screenshot of any

00:26editing style, throw it into a chatbot, and it will animate it into an advanced motion graphic. Now, even if everybody did know that, you'd still have the majority of people not thinking twice about doing it themselves. As soon as you say cloud code and timeline editor in the same sentence, you lose about 95% of the population. And so, that alone creates infinite income opportunities for people like you and people like me. I've personally used all of these tools, and I'm going to show you the only ones I use that have essentially allowed me to work one to two hours a day and get paid more than a

00:54brain surgeon. As you can see, I have folders for each client. Not only does this hold up the raw footage, but it also holds other folders with style references. There's also a document inside each client folder explaining the client's editing styles, fonts, and brand identity. There's also a custom document explaining different types of motion animations so that this doesn't come across as an AI edited video. So, for example here, we have keeping the movement very bouncy and text animations that look human-made and not just typed out like a robot.

01:20And by the way, you really want to take your time with this because you only have to set it up once and then you're done forever. Keeping things in separate individual folders for each client is perfect because remember when we prompt an AI agent, we can direct it to a folder. This also makes the onboarding process for new clients super fun and easy. So, for example, you can do a bit of research on a niche, pick three or four really good references, and then when you hop on a call, you can finalize the decisions and then begin building out your prompt and custom folder from there. So, now I'm going to show you how to build out your own

01:48folder that will get you results like this. I'm about to show you how I run my six-figure editing business with no employees. In this video, we will be going deep into advanced B-roll, advanced motion graphics, how you can set this up, walk away, and get live updates on your phone. And finally, how to set up an extremely appealing offer to potential clients or even just to use on yourself. So, the quality of your edit really comes down to three things we need to focus on: motion graphic references, clear shots of the subject for advanced B-roll, and then a really

02:14solid brand package. This will include things like main color theme, font, logos, and color grade. And then everything else will be taken care of by the prompt, which will include things like cutting up the footage. Now, the next step is the tools and agents we're actually using. I'm on like week number three of trying different agents, and so far GPT-6 Astra inside of DaVinci Resolve is by far the best for cutting up footage. Claude Code is by far the best for motion graphics, and then I also connect Open Art to my agents for

02:40realistic B-roll. Kling 4.0 is out, and you genuinely 1 billion percent cannot tell it's AI. If you leverage that correctly, you can get some really cool shots that will amaze at your clients. So, I'm going to open a new folder on my Mac, and I'm going to name it Zane. Or if it's for one of your clients, you can name it their name. And I'm going to click this folder, and then inside I'm going to add another folder called raw footage. And it's really important we name everything because remember, we're directing an AI agent to come here, and it has to figure out what is what,

03:09essentially. I'm going to add in another folder named subject assets. This is for like super clear face shots, as well as like your client's clothing. We're going to add in another folder here called motion graphic style references. Now, I'm going to open up my first document here, and I'm going to open up another tab with Claude Code, and I'm going to write Create a prompt for your future self when animating motion graphics. I want all the motion to be very bouncy. I want all the text animations to have lots of motion, and I want you to

03:36analyze my timeline and take certain sections of my footage and integrate it within the actual motion graphics. This edit should not feel static in any way. There should always be some form of motion, whether that's a camera zoom or motion graphics, it should always feel very interactive. See my style references attached in the motion graphic reference folder. Now, it's going to spit out a very solid prompt here. And we're going to copy and paste this prompt into the document here, and then download that document and drag it into our folder. I'm also

04:04going to name this readme for motion movement style. So, you can start to see how each client folder points to a completely different editing style based on the folder. Now, we're going to add one more folder in here, and we're going to drag in the brand colors, logo, and a font. We can name this folder brand kit. Now, we're going to open up ChatGPT and select Astra. We're also going to open up DaVinci Resolve. We're going to select file, set up AI assistance, and select Codex in ChatGPT. We're going to go to the OpenArt website, and by the

04:32way, all this stuff is linked in my description. We're going to select the MCP, and then we're going to click ChatGPT and connect it. And so, now we have everything set up here, and usually if you wanted to just press one button and then walk away, you'd have to give it a super long prompt. But since we have everything built out in our folders, we can essentially just say the following. I have DaVinci Resolve open. I want you to edit my video inside of DaVinci Resolve. Go to my downloads and find the folder labeled Zane.

04:57Extract my raw footage, cut out the spaces, color grade my footage, and balance my audio. Analyze everything I say in the video and generate me multiple pieces of realistic B-roll that I can use later. Use Kling 4.0 inside of OpenArt. Place the B-roll clips in my media pool. So, this is going to give us a fully cut color-graded video and also generate us a bunch of B-roll. So, now we can open up Claude here and select Opus 5.5, and then I'm going to set it to high. And so, essentially we can do the same thing, but this time we're

05:25going to direct it to our motion graphic reference folder, as well as the document explaining the motion. So, now you have the blueprint. If you want, you can buy a bunch of Mac minis. Um I just have multiple laptops. You can have one set up for each client, and then slowly just optimize everything over time.

05:39These models are extremely powerful, and you can't fully grasp it until you try it yourself. With all of this set up, we now have infinite time to go and get more clients. I will admit it's a bit easier for me because I have subscribers, and I've been doing this for 4 or 5 years. But by far the best strategy to get clients is to have them come to you. So, one form of that could look like posting viral-looking AI motion graphics on Instagram, and then tell people to comment down below for the prompt, and then just do multiple different types of motion

06:06graphics to attract different types of people. At least with my feed on Instagram, it is filled with that type of stuff, and it just has tons of engagement. And then obviously from there, you can set up an automation that automatically sends them the prompt, and then from there you can grab their email address or start a conversation about your services. So, as far as what you can charge, as long as you have good taste, you're decent editor, and you have AI skills, you can easily charge about $80 to $100 a reel. But that's not how I price things. I set up a monthly retainer. I would basically set up your

06:34offer in a way where you guarantee virality. You can have Claude basically take the same reel and change little tiny things, and then you can spam 10 to 20 different versions of that same video on Instagram trial reels. You then see which one performs the best for the client, and then you post that winner to the main feed. This is the strategy a lot of the top people on Instagram are using, and I only know that because I'm friends with people who run some of the biggest pages on Instagram. But you can start to see how easy it is to make a very extreme offer, like 1 to 200

07:01videos a month, and then guarantee virality. Like, that seems impossible, when in reality it's very possible because we have access to agents. To sum this up, >>
