A prompt to play with.

IMAGE / CONCEPT PROMPT
SHORT-FORM PREFLIGHT
[ ] Export a clean master without platform watermarks.
[ ] Check the 9:16 crop and readable captions on a phone.
[ ] Keep key text away from interface overlays.
[ ] Verify footage, music, and voice rights.
[ ] Apply synthetic-media disclosures required by each platform.
[ ] Give each post a clear, platform-appropriate caption.
[ ] Link the exact resource page, not just the homepage.
[ ] Add UTM source, medium, and campaign parameters.
[ ] Watch the published post once on a phone.
[ ] Save the final prompt and editing notes.

Make the idea your own.

  1. 01

    Keep one clean source

    Archive the full-quality video, captions, audio licenses, prompts, and source images together.

  2. 02

    Adapt instead of blindly duplicating

    Check crop, title, caption, sound availability, and labeling requirements on each destination. Platform policies can change.

  3. 03

    Use a specific resource link

    Send viewers to the workflow shown in that post. Add UTM parameters so you can tell which source a resource request came from.
