THE PROBLEM

The copywriter delivered a 3-minute brand video script. It's organized into five sections: origin story, product introduction, customer problem, solution demonstration, and call to action. Your job is to figure out which footage from the shoot covers each section before you start assembling the edit.

You have 14 hours of footage across interviews, product demos, behind-the-scenes, and lifestyle B-roll. Some of it maps obviously to the script. The product demo footage probably covers the demonstration section. But the origin story could pull from any of three different interview subjects, and the customer problem section might need a combination of interview bites and B-roll you haven't identified yet.

Normally you'd print out the script, watch through the footage, and manually annotate which clips go where. It's a necessary step, but it's tedious preparation work that delays the actual creative editing by an hour or two.

Wideframe cross-references the script against your footage, matching interview content to narrative sections, identifying B-roll that supports each topic, and flagging footage that covers multiple script segments.

03

Review the script-to-footage map

See each script section paired with specific clips, timecodes, and relevance notes. You'll know exactly where your best material lives for each part of the story.

04

Start assembling with a plan

Open your NLE with a clear map of what goes where. Instead of scrubbing through footage to find what fits, you're pulling pre-identified clips into a structure that's already defined.
