One recording · choose the moment before the edit

Find the story.
Then cut the clip.

Bring one recording you own, up to 30 minutes. The fixed USD 250 pilot returns two timestamped candidate moments first. Choose one, and it becomes a captioned vertical clip of up to 60 seconds.

The free fit check asks only for a description. Nothing is uploaded or sent while you fill it in; after review, open the request in your email app or copy it.

One customer-owned source · up to 30 minutes · one source language.

Two stages, one finish line

Choose before
the final cut.

01You provide one usable recording and the rights, audience, platform, names, terms, and constraints that matter.
02You receive exactly two timestamped candidate moments, each with a hook rationale, cut rationale, and rights notes.
03You select one candidate. That selection—not both candidates—moves into the finished edit.
04You receive one vertical clip up to 60 seconds, corrected source-language captions, SRT, and an inspectable caption/source ledger.
Candidate moments are selection notes, not two completed edits. One consolidated correction pass follows the delivered clip.

The deliverable

A clip with its decisions still attached.

The pilot separates finding the moment from polishing it. You can inspect why the cut starts and ends where it does, what the captions changed, and which source it came from.

01

Two candidate moments

Two source timestamps with a short hook rationale, cut rationale, likely clip shape, and rights or reuse questions that need an answer before editing.

02

One finished vertical clip

One buyer-selected 9:16 clip up to 60 seconds, with corrected burned-in captions in the recording's source language and a matching SRT file.

03

Caption and source ledger

A compact record of the selected source range, source identity, caption corrections, names or terms supplied by the buyer, unresolved uncertainties, and output files.

Open the handoff

Two candidate notes. One finished clip. Every decision attached.

The sample starts with a 41-second LazyingArt-owned mini-lecture. It records two possible moments, selects the stronger conclusion, and packages the 12.82-second vertical clip with its corrected SRT, source ledger, rights notes, and hashes.

Selected moment B · 12.82 seconds · H.264/AAC · 1080×1920.

Why this moment

“Provenance does not make every claim true.”

The ending stands on its own, gives the reader one useful action, and lands on the sharper promise: a claim becomes inspectable. The first candidate explains the three-part method; the second is the cleaner short.

This is project-owned synthetic process evidence, not customer work, a natural-interview edit, a performance result, or proof of 30-minute turnaround.

The fixed boundary

Editing one owned recording, not producing a campaign.

The USD 250 pilot excludes translation unless separately scoped, new filming, paid stock, publishing, raw source redistribution, extra finished clips, and performance or viral promises. It does not claim travel-client experience or turn project pieces into customer results.

You provide

The source recording, proof that you control the requested use, source language, names and protected terms, intended audience and platform, and any privacy or brand constraints.

We review

Duration, speech and picture usability, likely candidate moments, caption needs, third-party music, faces, voices, locations, marks, and whether the requested edit is rights-safe.

You decide

You choose one of the two timestamped candidates. A new source, different selected moment, additional language, second aspect ratio, or additional clip is a new scope.

Project-owned public proof

Watch LazyingArt's own pieces before sharing a source.

These are LazyingArt project pieces, not customer results and not examples of a travel engagement. They let you inspect the team's own short-form pacing, caption, and explanation choices; they do not prove sales, reach, or viral performance.

Working terms

Review the source before setting the clock.

The accepted written scope controls the work. It records the two-stage delivery dates, source handling, cancellation and refund terms before payment or source transfer.

01

Timing

The candidate return date is agreed after a source and rights review. The final-clip date is agreed after the buyer selects one candidate and supplies any missing names or terms.

02

Correction pass

Send one consolidated list of caption, timing, or cut corrections within seven calendar days after delivery. A new source, candidate, edit direction, language, format, or version is outside the pass.

03

Source handling

Handling and deletion timing are accepted in writing before transfer. The raw recording is not redistributed, published, or reused as public proof by LazyingArt.

  • One customer-owned source recording, up to 30 minutes.
  • Two timestamped candidate moments, then one selected vertical clip up to 60 seconds.
  • Corrected source-language captions, SRT, caption/source ledger, and one bounded correction pass.
