A system for capturing powerful talking-head footage — scripted, multi-angle, or interview-style — so you always have the raw material to tell your story, and Ava handles the edit.

<aside> 💡

The concept: Instead of filming a new talking head for every video idea, dedicate a focused session to capturing a deep library of A-roll. Whether it's a scripted read, a multi-location shoot, or a 30-minute founder interview, one session can fuel weeks of content. Then use Ava to cut, clean, and assemble the final edits.

How to use this guide

  1. Pick your level — scripted read (Level 1), multi-angle shoot (Level 2), or interview session (Level 3).
  2. Open "Quick reference" and set up your camera, mic, lighting, and framing.
  3. Follow the session structure for your chosen level.
  4. Upload your footage to Ava and describe the edit you want — Ava cuts the pauses, selects the best takes, and matches your A-roll with your B-roll library.

<aside> ✅

Goal for your first session: Capture enough raw talking-head material to power 5–10 short-form edits — without ever stepping into a timeline.
