Find Golden Segments Skill
Use this skill to identify the best moments in raw footage - segments that are already clean and don't need repair.
Philosophy
Selection over Repair: Instead of trying to fix broken footage by cutting out fillers, find the moments that are naturally good.
What Makes a Golden Segment
- •10-30 seconds of continuous clean speech
- •Complete thought: Full sentence or insight, not cut mid-idea
- •Minimal fillers: 0-2 max (not 10+)
- •Stable delivery: Speaker confident, camera relatively steady
- •Standalone value: Makes sense without heavy context
