Search and prep
- Transcripts and visual search help the assistant editor find material fast. Check names and terms: transcripts get them wrong.
- Clip prep and bin organisation save hours. The assistant editor still checks every bin.
Changing pictures
- Generative extend adds frames that were never shot. Fine for a temp; in a final cut, tell the editor and producer, and check the delivery rules.
- Never use generated frames to change what a person did or said without consent.
Who decides
- The editor makes every cut. AI helps them get there faster.

Do
Where would you use it? · 20 minutes
For each edit task, say which AI feature (if any) you'd use, and what you'd check.
1. Find every take where the actor says 'harbour'. 2. Find every shot with the red van. 3. A shot is two frames too short for a dissolve in the final cut. 4. Sync two cameras and sound for 300 takes.
How it's marked
- 1 Transcript search; check spelling
- 2 Visual search; check every result
- 3 Generative extend only if declared and allowed; otherwise re-cut
- 4 Auto sync; spot-check sync

Model answer (open after you submit)
1 Transcript search; check the name spellings. 2 Visual search; check each hit. 3 Ask the editor: re-cut if possible; generative extend only if declared and allowed for delivery. 4 Auto sync; spot-check slates on a sample of takes.
