Pro Tips
- Use clips for executive presentations: A 30-second highlight reel is far more compelling in a meeting than reading a quote aloud. Build clips for your key findings before any stakeholder presentation.
- Prompt the AI well: Specify content and key topics. Mention areas to focus on or omit. “Compile a clip showcasing diverse perspectives on usability” works better than just “make a clip.”
- Rename clips immediately: Give clips descriptive names as you create them so they’re easy to find and share later.
- Build a clip library: Create targeted clips for different purposes — an executive summary reel, a usability problems reel, a positive moments reel — and grow them into a reusable library over time.
