THE STRUCTURE

5-beat skeleton

BEAT 1
hook
4s

Open with the finished dish on a fork or in motion. Promise the result before naming the dish.

BEAT 2
ingredient intro
12s

Lay out every ingredient in flat-lay or quick-pan. Voice over names them in rhythm — no quantities yet.

BEAT 3
setup
8s

State the one technique that makes this recipe different. One sentence, action-led.

BEAT 4
reveal
28s

Execute the technique on camera. Macro shots, audible sizzle/crunch, no narration over the key sound.

BEAT 5
cta
8s

Final plated shot, garnish drop, then a one-line call to save the recipe.

HOW IT WORKS

From idea to published cut

1

Type your topic

A one-line idea is enough. Drop in extra context in the cue notes if you want tighter control.

2

Cue drafts the script

The narrative skeleton shapes a script tuned to this template — beats, pacing, stat overlays.

3

AI renders the cut

Stills, voiceover, music, captions, and color grade — all rendered in minutes, not hours.

4

Publish or remix

Push to YouTube, Shorts, or TikTok. Or open the timeline and remix any scene.
