Assembled prompt
Beginner instructions
You can paste your instructions and sides directly if you can’t upload them. Start with the requirements checklist, then follow the schedule in order. Don’t add extra takes unless your scorecard shows a specific problem you can fix.
Advanced instructions
You can revise the suggested scene choices while keeping the compliance checklist fixed. Use your first technically clean take as a benchmark, then record another take only for a defined adjustment. Protect your upload buffer even if that means fewer takes.
Use this when
Use this when you have self-tape instructions, sides, and a fixed submission deadline, especially when you need to record and deliver everything in one work session.
