A full-time engineer's raw-footage editing workflow with Opus 5.5
A full-time structural engineer shares his process: record without cleanup, drop raw files into Opus 5.5 with an orchestration prompt for cuts, pacing, captions and structure, then tweak and export.
Opus 5.5 will edit your videos for you. Stop telling yourself you don't have time. That was my excuse for months. Here's what I do now: Record raw. No cleanup. Drop the unedited files into Opus 5.5. Run a solid orchestration prompt (cuts, pacing, captions, structure). Review, tweak, export. I work in structural engineering full time. If I can ship videos and stream every day, you can too. The orchestration prompt is the whole game. I've broken it down in previous posts. Want the exact prompt? Follow and send me a DM and I don't mind helping you out!
