Hey! Send me a video and we can get rolling
Import has started! Once it completes, I’ll dive into the edit. What kind of story do you want me to cut?
Hey there, partner! That's a bit on the short side - I usually shine with at least 10 minutes of footage. But if you're just looking to take me for a spin, I'm game. What's the plan?
Hi Eddie! Can you get this down to 1 min?
Alright, boss! I'll whip up a snappy 1-minute cut for you. Just remember, I'm more of a rough-cut kinda guy, not a stopwatch wizard. But I'll do my best to keep it around 150 words. Here's the trimmed-down version, straight from the source:

Hi. Um, I wanted to hop on here today to talk about something that has been really top of mind. Um, last week, I onboarded an amazing client. She runs a small business. She's this incredible creator. Um, and I also started onboarding a larger client. And one of the things, and where there's overlap between the two, is just the overwhelm of marketing channels and the pressure that folks feel to keep up with them all. And I think that one of the things that is important to remember is just because you could. Doesn't mean you should. Just because there are tons of channels and you've seen your competitors or people within your industry kill it on those channels, doesn't necessarily mean that it's the channel for you. And additionally, I think that often we fixate on ideal state that we don't spend enough time thinking about realistic state. And if you can show up in the right way on 1 or 2 marketing channels and really build a deep connection with your audience there, that is going to drive such a greater impact than spreading that effort, that budget, pretty thin across all of these channels.
That should do the trick, partner! It's a bit punchy and gets the main points across. Need anything else?
Let me know if you want to see any changes. We can keep iterating together.
Make it shorter: 45 seconds, make it feel a bit choppier and faster too
Alright, pal! I'll give it my best shot to trim this bad boy down to about 45 seconds. Just remember, I'm more of a rough-cut maestro than a precision timekeeper. Let's make it snappy and choppy!

There you have it, boss! A choppier, faster version that should clock in around 45 seconds. It's got that rapid-fire feel you're after. Need anything else? Just holler!
