THE HOOK-FIRST EXPLAINER

Big idea. Front and center.

  • Hook above the face
  • Close, direct-to-camera framing
  • Short captions below the face
How to brief your edit

Open on my strongest sentence. Put a short hook in a white rounded card above my head. Keep a close vertical crop and bold white captions below my face. Trim dead air, keeping my delivery natural.

THE VISUAL EXPLAINER

Show it. Then explain it.

  • Visual above, speaker below
  • Clear space for the key idea
  • Captions between the two
How to brief your edit

Keep me in the lower half of a vertical frame. Use the upper half for simple text callouts that explain each point. Add short captions between the two areas. Cut between ideas and keep the layout clean. Use my words for the callouts.

THE STRAIGHT-TO-THE-POINT CUT

Let the words do the work.

  • Tight speaker crop
  • Large, high-contrast captions
  • Uncluttered interview frame
How to brief your edit

Start directly on the point, without an intro. Crop tightly around me. Use large white captions with a dark shadow, a few words at a time. Remove long pauses and add a subtle punch-in on the key takeaway. Keep the frame uncluttered.

A FEW GOOD QUESTIONS

Curious?
Good.

What do I give Disto?

A raw recording and a public Instagram Reel or TikTok video that captures the style you like. Add a short note if there’s a particular moment, caption style, or feeling you want to keep.

Does it copy the reference video?

The reference guides the editing language: pacing, framing, caption treatment, and transitions. Your footage and your story stay at the center.

What if my reference cannot load?

Private or restricted videos may be unavailable. Disto reports the issue so you can use another public reference. It does not pretend to have analyzed a video it cannot access.

What do I get back?

A downloadable MP4 made for vertical sharing, with cuts, captions, and audio treatment based on your brief. Your original recording stays untouched.

Can my AI agent use Disto?

Yes. Create an API key in the studio and use the Disto CLI or install the Disto skill. Agents can upload footage, submit an edit, check progress, and download the result.

THAT IDEA IN YOUR CAMERA ROLL?

Let’s make
something of it.

Give it the Disto treatment less editing. more making.
