Project workflow automations have not only saved me enough time to take on an additional client, but it has provided my current clients with a superior experience that I wasn't able to provide before. This is an overview of the automations I am using to manage my video projects, communicate with my team and keep my clients updated throughout the process. Would love to hear your thoughts and if there's anything you'd like me to break down in more detail. P.S. If there was 1 thing you could automate in your workflow, what would it be? What task are you tired of repeating everytime?

Are you curious on how AI could play a role in your next project or current workflow? 🤔 When I began filming and editing a series with the new Sony Burano, I wanted to quickly learn as much as I could about the camera, and optimize my settings in Davinci Resolve 🤩 The time I save by getting step by step instructions on what I want, related to my specific project is insane 🤯 I found an easy way to turn a free ChatGPT chat into my favorite Davinci Resolve resource in 4 Steps: 1️⃣ 𝐈𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐭 To begin, I tell ChatGPT what I am using this chat for ”𝙄 𝙖𝙢 𝙪𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙛𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙖𝙡 𝙫𝙞𝙙𝙚𝙤 𝙚𝙙𝙞𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙘𝙤𝙡𝙤𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙜. 𝙄 𝙬𝙖𝙣𝙩 𝙩𝙤 𝙪𝙥𝙡𝙤𝙖𝙙 𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙘𝙚𝙨 𝙩𝙤 𝙚𝙣𝙨𝙪𝙧𝙚 𝙮𝙤𝙪'𝙧𝙚 𝙜𝙚𝙩𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙞𝙣𝙛𝙤 𝙛𝙧𝙤𝙢 𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙛𝙞𝙚𝙙 𝙨𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙘𝙚𝙨. 𝙄'𝙡𝙡 𝙖𝙡𝙨𝙤 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙫𝙞𝙙𝙚 𝙪𝙥𝙙𝙖𝙩𝙚𝙨 𝙤𝙣 𝙢𝙮 𝙥𝙧𝙚𝙛𝙚𝙧𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚𝙨 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙟𝙚𝙘𝙩𝙨." 2️⃣ 𝐔𝐩𝐥𝐨𝐚𝐝 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐬 To be sure we are pulling verified information, I will download the PDF manuals for the Davinci suite https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolve/training I also uploaded the manuals to the Sony Burano and FX3 so ChatGPT's responses will be specific to the camera, and its color profile. 3️⃣ 𝐇𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐔𝐧𝐢𝐪𝐮𝐞 𝐆𝐞𝐚𝐫 Not all resources are straightforward manuals. For the Atlas Orion Series Silver Edition Anamorphic lenses, which lack a detailed manual, I provided a direct link to ensure ChatGPT understands the equipment specs: - Atlas Orion Series Silver Edition Anamorphic Lenses 4️⃣ 𝐂𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚 𝐊𝐧𝐨𝐰𝐥𝐞𝐝𝐠𝐞 𝐇𝐮𝐛: Beyond manuals, I continue to compile a mix of YouTube tutorials and blog posts into a cohesive knowledge hub that is converted to text, formatted, then pasted into the chat. I add an additional prompt after this saying “𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘷𝘦 𝘪𝘯𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘪𝘴 𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘮𝘺 𝘒𝘯𝘰𝘸𝘭𝘦𝘥𝘨𝘦 𝘏𝘶𝘣. 𝘞𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘸𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘮𝘺 𝘧𝘶𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘵𝘴, 𝘱𝘶𝘭𝘭 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘒𝘯𝘰𝘸𝘭𝘦𝘥𝘨𝘦 𝘏𝘶𝘣 𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘴𝘵” This will ensure the responses are coming from your preferred resources. 💡 When uploading documents, keep it under a few thousand words to optimize ChatGPT’s performance.
