A tool list is just the ingredients.
The recipe is inside @DecimaVault, the AI-focused community @decimablack, ΔMΞN and I just launched:
Today we posted a recording where I show you how I take a cinematic AI scene from first take to finished segment, all in one real session.
Watch it here:

Clipping is here 🎬
Grab your favorite moment from any video, add your take, and post it without leaving X.
Creators: every clip credits your original video and links back to it, so new viewers can find your work and keep watching.
Clippers: you now have an easy, native way to share moments from your favorite creators directly on X.
The best part? Both the original creator and the clipper can earn from views on the clip through Original Content Rewards.
Everyone wins when great moments travel. Clipping is one more step toward making X the best place to create, grow and earn.
Steal my YouTube script framework we use at DecimaLabs ↓
• Start with the angle. Decide what the video is actually trying to explain, prove, or change in the viewer’s mind.
• Choose the format. Tutorial, case study, breakdown, story, comparison, reaction. The format decides how the script should flow.
• Write the working title early. The title is the promise. Every section of the script should help deliver it.
• Gather the proof before writing. Pull the examples, screenshots, ads, data, case studies, product pages, and B-roll you may want to use.
• Write the hook around one strong idea. A contrast, question, problem, result, or surprising example. Give people a reason to keep watching.
• Break the body into clear sections. One section = one main idea. Each section should move the argument forward.
• Leave space for the founder to be the expert. As the scriptwriter, you shouldn’t pretend to know everything they know. Add prompts like “[Add your experience here]”, “[Give a client example]”, or “[Explain what you’ve seen in practice].” Give them room to add the insight only they can provide.
• Use examples constantly. Don’t leave important points abstract. Show the product, screenshot, ad, number, comparison, or case study.
• Write editor notes directly into the script. Tell the editor when to show B-roll, graphics, screenshots, split screens, animations, or on-screen text.
• Build transitions between sections. The next point should feel like the natural continuation of the previous one, not a random “point number two.”
• End with the takeaway first, then the CTA. Resolve the idea before asking the viewer to subscribe, watch another video, download something, or book a call.

dont worry about what people think on the internet
and yeah, he is making $400M / year
is anyone actually struggling to still land clients as an editor?
cause all the people that i've ever reffered have been working with the same clients for years atp
even the people that got into editing THIS year have clients that they've been working with for months on end
the ones that are convinced that there's a shortage of clients are people who don't post their edits anywhere consistently enough and think they're owed a client
or maybe they're just ass at editing
i'd even go as far as to say that there's a shortage of actual GOOD editors, not clients
logically, once a client sees how much time and effort you save them, you're an asset that they CANNOT affford to lose, and clients are always on the hunt for people that don't need much managing and can execute on their own
to me it seems like the only people who are struggling to find work are the ones that have yet to put in the time and effort required to get their name out infront of the people that need their services

for people who are saying cinematic ai is killing art.
she would need a $1-$10M budget to produce a movie like this with multiple actors, sets, cameraman, post production crew, sound designers, insurance, food, etc.
so you are basically saying only people with budget can / should make art. i wholeheartedly reject that
@MartinSchalle17 Dang, you’re right! I forgot to look into the actors and set designers and producers and camera crew and costume designers…
I wonder if they’ll accept my appreciation as pay? They’d be working for a noble cause! And I’ll give them a bit of food as a bonus.
You know anyone?
@Vexian content doesnt go viral on twitter unless it’s an orchestrated engagement pod or seriously offend a group of people. im gonna bet on the former since comments are positive
i am going through the applications this weekend. if you ever wanted to work with me this is the time.
you won’t have to worry about chasing your next client, i’m only interested in long term
apply if that’s you
A lot of business owners expect YouTube to go straight from: post video → get revenue
That’s usually not how it works.
Revenue growth on YouTube is built in layers.
First, you need to publish enough for the channel to have a real base.
Then you need attention.
Then relevance.
Then trust.
Then action.
And only after that do you start seeing revenue come through.
That’s why I think a lot of founders judge their channel too early.
They’re looking for top-of-pyramid results before the bottom of the pyramid is even there.
